He was that weird 90s libertarian socialist hippie Magick type. His wife (a major member of the Elder Scrolls fandom and pretty left wing.) basically says he spent 20 years on various drugs, first recreationally and then medically, and when he came off them in 2010 or so he went into a spiral and said some pretty yikes things he's since publically disavowed.
So, not perfect, but he's trying to be better and I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I mean, conflating the creation of an artistic world with that of a demiurgic sub-creation (rather than a direct channeling of the divine or becoming a god proper.) was fairly innovative at the time, though of course the Romantic artists came up with the idea. Especially so within games.
