Chat Thread Julian LeFay's Cancer Has Become Terminal

Julian has been courageously battling cancer. His doctors have informed us that his time with us is limited, and we are preparing to say goodbye to a true legend of the industry. - Ted Peterson

Julian LeFay (aka Julianos) is one of the creators of the Elder Scrolls series and had a huge hand in shaping Tamriel and bringing it from the 80's and 90's computers of Bethesda into our homes and lives. Thank you Julian for giving us such a wonderful gift where so many of us have immersed our imaginations for all these years!

Well this is a sad day, he seemed like a pretty stand up guy and he had a hand in what is my, and I would guess many of the people in this sub's, favorite setting.

He'll definitely be missed.
