holy shit is #TES lore A Lot. I just got a physical book (one of three volumes) of all of the books in #Skyrim and omg. it’s definitely confusing on purpose, but with just enough similarities and connections with other confusing-on-purpose books to be genuinely maddening. every god has like 5 names and 12 different interpretations, there are whole mystical worldviews that all seem to be correct yet contradict each other, the names and cultures of the races change depending on what era it is, and any of the various creation myths probably require psychedelics to be fully understood. and yet somehow it always feels like there’s a deeper context and some way to unify all of the contradictions, if I could just understand a little deeper

I think I need to learn how to just, be okay with not understanding something like an offhand reference to a name/culture/place/etc. that I’m not familiar with. and keep reading anyway. because otherwise I’m just going to the UESP every 5 seconds and ending up with more questions than answers lol

I have to say though, the fact that everything is so contradictory and confusing and nuanced makes it feel like by far the deepest fantasy lore I’ve ever read

That's pretty awesome, Ted Petersen (one of the original creators of the Elder Scrolls games) wrote in-universe books for the 1.0 release of the fan project, Daggerfall Unity.

Imagine a developer so passionate about a nearly 29 year old game that he writes new lore for a fan-based
remaster. :gabsalute:

Something I really wish Bethesda would do is allow other studios to make spinoffs of their games in different genres, the way that Redguard was an action-adventure spin on the Elder Scrolls formula.

Tech issues aside, this game really had serious ambition and potential. It's a shame they didn't release any more games in the Elder Scrolls Adventures label!

@uesp
Rumours have been around for quite a while from different directions, so maybe? It's hard to say, some #TES rumours have become big but turned out to be nothing. Guess that's the fate of a popular franchise.

As for TES Renewal's #Skyblivion, I think Bethesda knows about them and has stated to be good with it in some way, as long as the original game is required. Similar to #OpenMW. Knowing that, It'll be extra shitty changing that now after all this work.
