Bethesda has announced that they’re investigating claims of plagiarism related to a marketing initiative for the upcoming ESO expansion Elsweyr.
In an effort to promote the new Elder Scrolls Online update, Bethesda’s Netherlands studio published an unnamed ESO-themed tabletop RPG adventure based on the rules for the fifth edition of Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons. However, it was more than just some basic rules that the studio appeared to copy – it was almost an entire adventure from 2016.
