Development
The guild system was introduced in Daggerfall, replacing the more rigid class system that had been in place in The Elder Scrolls: Arena. However, Todd Howard said that the only thing that he would change if he was redoing Daggerfall was the system of factions, which he believed did not work as advertised. After finding that joining guilds was so popular in Daggerfall, designers decided to make joining guilds a bigger part of Morrowind. Guilds and organizations in Morrowind took inspiration from real-world historical groups, with the Imperial Empire reminiscent of the Roman or British empires, The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon's East Empire Company taking inspiration from the East India Company and the architecture of House Hlaalu showing Arabic influences. Joinable factions were retained in Oblivion, where each joinable guild was given one head designer. Once they had designed a quest, they presented it to the entire development team of around 50, after which time the team gave feedback, allowing for the quest to be tweaked.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
—Women’s Liberation Workshop, Students for a Democratic Society, Radical political/social activist organization. “Liberation of Women,” in New Left Notes (July 10, 1967)
“Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
