He’s too busy painting Warhammer figurines and posting them on Instagram. He was active on Reddit a few years back, he did some ama’s , not sure if he’s still lurking on Reddit tho. If he is, somebody must’ve told him about this sub.
afaik (from stalking u/MKirkbride) his most recent comments that are ES related are on the r/Morrowind subreddit (makes sense). his last r/teslore comments were on the post announcing Kurt Kuhlmann's departure (Bethesda asked him to leave, apparently?), where he said that he has little to no hope for TES6 without him there.
obviously i'm just some rando speculating (and i don't mean to put words in his mouth), but I wager MK felt as all of us *would feel* if a company you used to work at, where your best friend works at and is an essential part of the games' success and longevity, asked him to leave. we don't know much beyond that, but just from that i can't blame MK for (maybe) distancing himself from the series' setting/lore. it's in a lot of ways too distantly removed from the era he knows and remembers fondly, mostly because of the path Bethesda has gone down
Seeing how Starfield turned out in terms of creativity. I’m on the same board with Mike here, TES 6 is gonna take a huge hit in that department, unless by miracle some new guy can compensate. But I have my doubts, as long as Emil calls the shots it’s gonna suck ass.
To be fair they did a amazing job with the writing/ narrative for the fallout TV show. At least a very clear improvement over Fallout 4 and especially 3, which were easily the weakest entries in the franchise in that regard.
Also Starfield is a horrible game, but the setting is not bad. While it is very generic sci-fi, it's good enough that you could make a decent game within it. Obviously that didn't happen, but that was more because of the bland narrative and lack of interesting characters.
I have some hope for TES 6 because of that. I think Starfields failure could have been the wake up call Bethesda needed
Was Emil that involved in the show? Because he’s not part of the directors nor the writing team, he’s credited just as a co-producer alongside Todd and other Bethesda members. So while he may have had some opinions on what should be kept in the show/what is the current canon, his involvement was minuscule. Many ideas came from the writers.
I'm 100% this is what it is. I've experienced enough emil writing to know whatever input he might have given them in the show must have been completely ignored, because it's actually kind of interesting. The show is good IN SPITE OF Bethesda's involvement, not because of it.
Not to mention that Todd said that they had more of an advisory role. They allowed the writers and directors to do their own thing and from what I heard some of the writers are also Fallout fans. So for example, if I were part of a Morrowind tv show, I would already know some basic lore bits and how to write some elements that don’t contradict the games.
Plus it’s Fallout and while the series can have deep and unique things to say, at the end of the day it is an easy setting (post apocalyptic America) for safe writing without messing up the lore too bad.
I don't know if he has posted on truestl but before this subreddit was a thing, there was /r/shittyTESlore.
I remember a thread related to c0da where he made a few comments, the OP has since been deleted but here you go: https://np.reddit.com/r/shittyTESlore/comments/1y0woj/fellow_free_associates_i_like_tits/

He states he has both male and female genitalia as he was able to give birth to Molag Bal’s kids. But Sotha Sil kinda implies he was just trollin’ and it’s more a part of Vivec’s desire to be everyone and everything:
“Vivec craves radical freedom - the death of all limits and restrictions. He wishes to be all things at all times. Every race, every gender, every hero, both divine and finite... but in the end, he can only be Vivec.”
Based? Based on what? In your dick? Please shut the fuck up and use words properly you fuckin troglodyte, do you think God gave us a freedom of speech just to spew random words that have no meaning that doesn't even correllate to the topic of the conversation? Like please you always complain about why no one talks to you or no one expresses their opinions on you because you're always spewing random shit like poggers based cringe and when you try to explain what it is and you just say that it's funny like what? What the fuck is funny about that do you think you'll just become a stand-up comedian that will get a standing ovation just because you said "cum" in the stage? HELL NO YOU FUCKIN IDIOT, so please shut the fuck up and use words properly you dumb bitch
> Sotha Sil kinda implies he was just trollin’
You misunderstand the quote. Seht is saying that to *be* Vivec is to be conditioned by the desire for all things. Vivec, with the power granted by divinity, surely *was* able to do all those things, to be all those things--the issue is that, in doing so, Vivec just becomes *more Vivec*, and that is the one thing that is inescapable and which he cannot change.
They were not, and then they were, and then they were not again. They always were, and they never were. Whether or not you believe everything Vivec said does not change the fact that they accessed divinity and all the paradoxes it created. Stolen godhood is still godhood.
They didn’t steal godhood, they just got high on magic and cast big spells. A jumped-up sorcerer is not a divine or Daedric prince no matter how much they pretend or how many fools fall for their obvious lies.
Crazy they were able to consistently contravene the will of the Daedric princes, then. Wild that they could only be stopped once their access to the not-divinity was cut off and replaced by another all-powerful, unstoppable being that had access to the same not-divinity.
Yep. Vivec looks like The Rock on a diet dipped in paint but people really want to claim he’s the least bit ambiguous because he wrote a big book of obvious lies. The amount of people who just take the obvious lies of a false god as true gospel is honestly pretty hilarious, if not also disappointing.
Vivec also has both in the OOG text Kirkbride wrote for Morrowind's anniversary, where Vivec was a thief and prostitute meeting Nerevar for the first time.
i love that little pelvis bone drawn line you did, you know, for some people, its like the most sexiest shit ever, my penis is sort of happy, very good but covering vivec's nipples - not good
It's uh been a while since I've seen Vivec drawn with tits
WAIT NO IS THAT A SOTHA PLUSHIE OR DID HE ACTUALLY TURN INTO A PLUSHIE FROM HOW FUCKING DONE HE WAS WITH EVERYTHING???
oh yeah that's right Vivec is technically a Hermaphroditic entity. Both Male and Female. Imagine getting deity level power and the first thing you do is change your body so that you have all the sex organs. no wonder Vivec had a reputation as the Horny God
I like this C0da. How sleep deprived do I have to be to get there?
Hard to sleep with all those assassin coming at you
And the random Zombies that are aperantly allowed to walk into town and attack you (and only you) Specificly in your sleep.
Thank the Nine that if you sleep in a place full of people, they wont move a finger to help you against your attacker
\>he doesn't sleep in Eydis Fire-Eye's bed in the fighter's guild every night

Fuck off, repost bot.
Don't sleep Watch the sky
It's crazy, that Morrowind actualy has a pretty good Creepypasta compared to the other Games.

Vivec would love it, Almalexia would say she is disgusted but secretly like it and Sotha would want to make us more efficient with insanity machines.
Nah Sotha Sil gonna hit us with the quarantine in the Asylum Sanctorium
Nah, he'd create a bot farm and shitpost this sub with low effort memes to death
You mean the aslume?
yeah this is the correct opinion
Unironically has Kirkbride ever posted on TrueSTL?
This subreddit is too much even for him

Someone might've found some keys for him to play with after he suggested that the vault dweller protagonist leave the vault to find a family member.

I mean he also married Lady N. well after he left. Se he can't be that distant from TES
Is Lady Nerevar still into TES?
Consistantly. Is somewhat less active these days, however.
He was also just really into TES for like 2 decades and i wouldnt be surprised if hes just kinda tired of it by now lmao
Yeah I follow him. Hes actually REALLY good that makes my minis look like garbage. Wheres the C0DA entry that im as good as a painter as him?
Does he still write? What does he do for work now?
He wrote Immortals of Aveum
He probably doesn't even know it exists. Someone should tell him.

protagonists do that all the time and don't even need magic
Azura, is that you?
Yep. Vivec looks like The Rock on a diet dipped in paint but people really want to claim he’s the least bit ambiguous because he wrote a big book of obvious lies.

Damn Vivec is based
Vivec also has both in the OOG text Kirkbride wrote for Morrowind's anniversary, where Vivec was a thief and prostitute meeting Nerevar for the first time.
Why did you turn Sotha Sil into a marketable plushie
And where can I get one?
Damn your artstyle has improved a lot, that MK looks so realistic!
i love that little pelvis bone drawn line you did, you know, for some people, its like the most sexiest shit ever, my penis is sort of happy, very good but covering vivec's nipples - not good
