Gamers are always blaming all of BGS' problems on the old engine. The same engine that has served the strengths of BGS open world games perfectly for decades.

Is there anything Lorewise preventing the Nerevarine from also being the Dragonborn?

I've always wanted to have a recurring character throughout my playthroughs and I love to have some lore for my character and while the Hero if Kvatch isn't really this prophesied hero or anything, I do have to wonder if it was at all possible for the Nerevarine to also be Dragonborn

(for context all of these books are either volume 1 or volume 2 of The Lusty Argonian Maid. Found in the entrance of Benkongerike Great Hall. Anniversary edition but otherwise vanilla)

What happened during the 171 years between the Oblivion Crisis and the Great War to make Nords and Reachmen abandon their pantheons?

By time of Skyrim most of the Nords (excluding the Skaal who worship The All-Maker) worship the Imperial pantheon with the Nord gods being outright abandoned with the exception of Dibella and Mara, before Skyrim the Nords worshipped a completely different pantheon than the Imperials consisting of The Dead Gods Shor and Tsun, The Hearth Gods Dibella, Jhunal, Kyne, Mara, and Stuhn, The Testing Gods Herma-Mora, Mauloch, and Orkey, and The Twilight God Alduin, as well as Ysmir and Magnar but they usually go ignored, but by the 4th Era most of these gods are reduced to phrases like "By Ysmir" or "Shor's bones", I just feel like at that point Skyrim should have had Imperial Chapels instead of Nordic Temples, and with the Reachmen I feel like we don't even see the Old Gods much now I'm not to sure on who exactly the Old Gods are but from my understanding based on Skyrim shrines, forsworn camps, and out of game lore the Reachmen worship Dibella, Namira, Molag Bal, and possibly Y'ffre (based on Hagraven lore), but the civilized Reachmen worship the Nine/Eight Divine, I'm just curious if there's a lore reason to all this or if this was another one of Todd Howard's retcons to the series.

Why are the Daedra so full of themselves?

Whenever you converse with a Daedra in any TES game (but primarily ESO) they talk down to you and all the people of Tamriel, like they’re better than you. Like first of all, if we and our land are so pathetic, why are you so desperate to take it over? Second of all, if you are so strong and mighty, why after 6,329,418 attempts of trying to take over Nirn/Tamriel are you still yet to succeed even once? Heck, during the Oblivion crisis, they were so scared of the Argonians taking over THEM, that they closed every gate they had in the Black Marsh, then they failed to take over any of the other provinces too. I know they are immortal and the people of Nirn are not, but they still seem pretty weak and pathetic to me. Even the Dremora go down with a couple of whacks.

Your ONE wish/hope/expectation for TES6?

Pretty self explanatory. Basically if you could take Skyrim as it is but change ONE thing. What would it be? I initially wanted to say immersion, like more animations , interactions etc. But mods can take care of that, so I’m going to say dialogue. More options, skill checks, branching dialogue etc.

I spent a month making this video with only my iPhone, Audacity, Adobe Premier and After Effects. I poured a lot into it and I hope you guys like it. :)

Beginners guide to ES Lore?

Hi all, I've been a fan of the games since Oblivion released and know a decent amount of lore picked up from playing. However, I really want to get super in depth with the lore and learn about all the events that aren't featured in the games.

Can anyone recommend either a YouTube series or podcast that goes into depth on the lore? Something that starts with an overall introduction and then dives deeper into specific topics maybe!
