Thank you!! That's fantastic news!
On a related note, the Imperials in Arena have dark skin with bizarre names compared to those later in the series, so I guess the concept for them either wasn't developed yet, the developers had trouble implementing them, or maybe the names were meant to be used for orcs? I don't know.
Yeah, that stuff is weird. I'm tempted to say they accidentally crossed Imperial and Argonian names, but that seems like something obvious enough that beta-testing would have caught it. In any case, my opinion is that this is where
death of the author applies, but Interkarma's got the final word.
