The alien design of the creatures and people in The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind likely took influence from Lovecraft's work to some degree.
The architecture of Apocrypha is very complex, and the city uses a LOT of static objects. This can be quite taxing on lower-end machines.There are plenty of surface-level references to Lovecraft in The Elder Scrolls games. More information on the city according to the "Cthulhu Mythos" can be found here: Y'ha-nthlei. Lovecraft in his short story, A Shadow Over Innsmouth. Y'ha-nthlei (and it's vicinity to Innsmouth) are based of the city created by H. Arsenath Moslin claims that when his Skaal ancestors came to Innsmouth, the city was still thriving in the waters below and the two peoples formed an alliance. The city has survived for ages, although the heavy ruination seen by the Dragonborn makes it clear that the city has not been immune to the ravages of time. It is said that their kingdoms were vast, and that they fought against the Dreughs and are directly responsible for the decline of their rival's civilization. It is not entirely clear whether the Deep Ones themselves are in fact Star-Spawn, or if they are natural creatures of Nirn, but it is clear that their culture flourished alongside the Star Spawn. It is unclear whether the Deep Ones live in these huts or if they serve some other purpose entirely.Ībove the main platform is a large, partially enclosed temple that houses a large shrine to Hermaeus Mora. It is here that the Dragonborn will find the Necronomicon on a venerated altar directly in front of the shrine. The city is built upon two adjacent pedestals that sit up off of the seafloor (similar to the style seen in Aprocrypha) that are linked with a stone latticework bridge. It is possible (judging by the layout of R'lyeh) that there were once many more platforms that have since been destroyed or buried. The platforms are covered in strange latticework "huts" that seem more like cages than true enclosures. Y'ha-nthlei is built in the same manner as other buildings associated with Apocrypha, implying a heavy influence on the Deep Ones by Hermaeus Mora. It could be surmised that the architecture of Apocrypha itself was built by the Deep Ones, as the style is heavy with Lurker iconography, and the only other beings seen to inhabit Apocrypha are the Seekers (beings that do not seem to be very physically strong.) Y'ha-nthlei is built on the seafloor next to an undersea mount that forms the island of Innsmouth. The city wraps around and engaged the mount, implying that the whole island may have once been part of the city. Much of the city is destroyed or buried, implying a deal of geographic upheavel in the eons since it was built.
