interesting verse, deep lore, great games. this verse deserves more attention than it gets.

It does, but then again you can't force anyone to like anything.

The main problem with the lore i believe is the fact that it's somewhat hidden behind the simple main story and bethesda's let's say special way of storytelling.

I mean some of the npc dialoge is soooooooooo bad, it's like they skip 10-20 lines of dialoge between the character just to advance the plot without having to listen to npc's talking for more than 30 seconds.

eh true. but this verse doesnt really focus on npc dialouge/gameplay/etc. the lore is the main focus for people who stay in the ES Community as that is the best and most interesting thing to discuss/enjoy about the game

I agree, but lack of good storytelling is a major flaw.

Which ES games have you played?

Isn't it canon that most of the lore we get of TES is just the views the characters have in-universe, thus justifying their contradictions?

This video always comes to mind.

skyrim greatly improves from the last game. I agree oblivion wasnt that good in npc dialouge

The verse gets plenty of attention. It's probably the most popular RPG series in the world. It might not get all that much attention on battleboards but that shouldn't be suprising, the verse is not well suited for cross fictional battles.

While I really love Skyrim, I can't call myself a fan. At least, not until I've played the other games, lol.

Started playing TES Daggerfall and Arena. So far, it's been... Alright?
