I skimmed through it at the store, read a few previews online...felt the same way. But I'm not much of a comics reader, either (I'll pick up a collection if the buzz on it's good).

hidden the best way I know how

Sex face.

There's a great deal of retconning at hand, but there's definitely mention of political chaos and fairly constant war during the Reman Interregnum (the period in which the game takes place), plus a few books make mention of 'dark anchors' during the time period. Retcon is a poor choice of word for it- more…

I've played Amnesia and the game it rips off, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

Nope.

I'm level 11 and thus far I've yet to see anything that destroys canon. The weirdest thing would be the fact future games don't mention this period, but that can easily be fixed. They picked a time about a thousand years before Skyrim begins where the empire that started the second era has been gone for some time…

The events could certainly be classed as lore-friendly, if you take the view that this history is simply lost by the 3rd and 4th eras.

I don't want to brag, but I would like to point out all the chuckle-heads in these comments proving my point. Having played Elder Scrolls since Arena, I can safely say that this is by far not the first or most drastic retcon they've made to the lore. Nor is it the silliest decision they've made ((For instance, did…

No, none of this has ever been mentioned in previous lore. Seeing as how it seems like a big deal...you figure it would be right? The story makes zero sense...Nords, Argonians, and Dark Elves being allies? HAAAAAAA...no. /nerd

They've made the occasional nod to existing lore, but most of it has been made up for the game, to the chagrin of many fans, since lore is one of the Elder Scroll series' strongest points.

While it's not following the lore exactly to the letter, I wouldn't say they're butchering it. It's set during the Imperial Interregnum after the fall of the Second Empire. The Interregnum is a period of around 400 years that is talked about quite a bit in ES lore, though the exact details of that time are sketchy…

There is some "remodeling" done, but not a big difference, a lot of people seem to forget that this takes place a 1000 years before Skyrim and some of the books in other elder scrolls games describe cities another way than shown in the game.

I think Kinja ate my post, whatever.

It's all Zenimax, Bethesda aren't allowed to be involved in this tragedy, at least to the extent they can stop it, otherwise they wouldn't be twisting it all round like this. They are basically shitting all over the lore, referencing people from the future and dropping every name they can.

I can't really say as I am not following ESO. But I will note, word around the nerd block is, ESO is butchering TES lore so that the MMO can make sense.

A lot of UK ISp do this now for some sites but Google Piratebay Proxy and you'll find a site that you can get the files from.

So the fact that Kirk did post this doesn't serve as a paradigm shift for you?

I'm pretty sure some of it has to do with the absolute toxic community that YouTube has. Every time he posted a video review or gave an opinion on something that people didn't like the masses would insult him every way they possibly could. I'm sure it was a much different experience going from TV where the…

You know what? I think someone should organise a regular female game industry summit of some kind. I'm sorry if that sounds like segregation, that's not my intention, please hear me out!

So we have this female game industry summit - all women working in the industry, at any level, get automatically invited. Here's the…
