Morrowind Team Diary

The official Morrowind website has been updated with a new Team Diary called Map Making. In it, Executive Producer Todd Howard goes over the history of maps in The Elder Scrolls games. Here's a snippet:
Half the reason we make expansion packs is so we can make more maps. Because we have the best cartographer in the world working for us, Mike Wagner. This guy makes maps that could be in Where's Waldo. Mike plays the game, while looking at the editor, and hand draws every rock and tree. He's absolutely insane. He sees a tree in the game, he draws it. There are thousands of them. I think we're cool for hand placing every rock and tree in our game, but the guy who comes by later and then draws them all, well, he's my hero.
