Name one series with better lore than The Elder Scrolls

Name one series with better lore than The Elder Scrolls

Mario

Fallout

Baldur's gate.

Literally any competent RPG.
Old Bethesda actually used to maintain and care a lot about their lore but ever since the abomination known as Oblivion their games have been getting more and more shallow not only gameplay and writing-wise but also in terms of lore.
The don't give a shit about anything but creating the most addictive dungeon crawler simulator with the most automatically generated content.

Wrong.

fucking fifa
tes is shit

The souls series

Gothic II NotR

Mass Effect, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Metal Gear Solid. take your pick, faggot.

Fallout.

Only LOTR and there hasn't been a good game for that series in a long time

Wrong

So how are you guys going to react when Elder Scrolls 6 turns out to be SJW garbage like every future Bethesda game?

i simply won't buy. i'll come here to shitpost and laugh at the TES fags who bought the game and now are regretting it to the point they start crying and demanding refunds or try to damage control their bad purchase.

Gothic
Fallout
Arcanum

What is "better" lore? These three are much better in that they manage to create much more interesting worlds with so much less.

TES lore is literally "a lot of shit you don't see in the game but have to read through books". On the surface, TES is no different than any other fantasy videogame.

Fallout did its own thing. Gothic did its own thing. Arcanum did its own thing. I would mention The Witcher, but that was written by Sapkowski.

I wouldn't care too much, it's pretty much a given if they're really going to do Hammerfell for the next game

WE WUZ CURVED SWORDS N SHIET

I used to be a Kang like you, till I took a whitey to the knee.

You know that Skyrim was a good example of how they managed to translate a book in Morrowind into a full fledge game dont you

Wolfenstein because fuck nazis! It's also made by Bethesda by the way.

Bethesda softworks != Bethesda game studios

Mods will probably be limited to creation club or whatever they're doing. I won't buy it for that alone.

if the next game is in another province of man i will be mad

It still consists of a simple world with tons of lore hidden in books. Which is fine and all, but I'd rather have my lore visible as opposed to hidden. Moreover, I want the lore to flesh out the world, but a lot of TES books are random stories.

In Arcanum, for instance, you have books on magic and technology. These let you know that the people of Arcanum still haven't discovered "diseases" as a natural occurrence, instead believing they are of magical nature.

1st Era game when

>they will never make another spinoff game like Redguard about being Pelinal Whitestrake
why live

ESO :)

>I'd rather have my lore visible as opposed to hidden. Moreover, I want the lore to flesh out the world, but a lot of TES books are random stories

TESO is 2E

How does Fallout have better lore? It has no real history of the factions in depth? Hell reading the Fallout Timeline tells you everything.

Have a (you).

Fucking lizard niggers.

I wish I could kill all those fat lipped, drug using and backstabbing niggars

>tfw people are unironically saying "can't wait for the next skyrim"
>tfw thought it was just an OTT Sup Forums meme about gamers being out of touch
>tfw people will be excited for "Skyrim 2"

wtf is elder scrolls travels?

Typical TES poster.

It has a lot less lore, but makes better use of it in my opinion. Most of the invisible lore refers to the Pre-War world, which adds to the idea of a lost world.

The thing with TES lore is that a LOT of it is confined to books. And I don't strictly mean historical events (which are perfectly fine, and are ocassionally referenced to in dialogue), but entire characters and events that just do not exist outside of those books.

You mean in general or just video games? As long as Kirkbride was their writer the Elder Scrolls was pretty hard to beat, but modern Bethesda is more than a little lacking. They're uncreative as fuck, they took Kirkbride's vision and tamed it the hell out. Read the old descriptions of what Cyrodiil was supposed to be with the giant jungles and the glass cities. It was strange in all the right ways, now it's all just a "transcription error." As far as video games go, games with better lore than that would be the Dominion games, since they're akin to Malazan Book of the Fallen what with all the gods and mortals duking it out all the damn time, the original Quake since it's sci-fi trans-dimensional Cthulhu shit, Caves of Qud, Arcanum, Turok, Planescape Torment, and EYE.

Compared to other mediums, there's Lord of the Rings, Malazan Book of the Fallen, most anything written by Philip K. Dick, Hellboy and BPRD, Conan the Barbarian, and a bunch of other stuff.

Ultima

Destiny. I don't care what the fuck you say about the games themselves, the lore created is so retardedly deep you'd have to not have a job to read into it all. Problem is, as I'm sure I'll be told for this comment, it's also retardedly hard to find.

Don't worry user the game can be bad but it doesn't always mean it has shit lore.

There isn't one, buy Skyrim VR!

what kind of deep rick and morty shit is this supposed to be?

Destiny and I like TES as well

Morrowind

the devs made an event to switch off the effect once you get the star but no trigger to turn it back on

Morrowind was shit to be honest. Has to be nostalgia goggles mixed with wanting to forget about Skyrim.

RuneScape

Ma nigga

>Morrowind was shit to be honest. Has to be nostalgia goggles mixed with wanting to forget about Skyrim

Skyrim

Planescape
Trails
Arcanum

where's the lie though

>TES

Oh fuck off. TES lore is basically "whoah how weird can we get LoLOloLolOl" fanfiction that is never -EVER- seen in the actual games. It's not even real, it's like playing make-believe with a 5 year old.

"Ok I shot you"
"UH NO, I MANTLED THE GODPOWER OF SHIELD-PRODUCTION AND UH I ATE THE MOON WHICH BECAME A CAT"
"What the fuck are you even saying"
"WHATS THE MATTER, LORE TOO DEEP FOR YOU N'WAH?"

Just fuck right off with this cocksucking trash

TeS lore is like that one buddy that build his D&d game on the fly.
"Dude demons invade what do?"
"Ya dude the not*roman empire totaly has samurai?"
"Ya black people are a hole other race but like arabs also"
"Lmoa you dragonborn"
"I have 80 types of elfs"
"Ya the good in the crypt is still fresh"
"Netch? Well its sorta like.... you ever watch henti?"

>samurai
Out of elf genociding cyborg, monkey Pope that fuck Time, entire dynasties of minotaurs and snakemen you complain about that?

>That shit writing is okay becauae there is even worse shit writing over here.
Lol

Where's Arena?

Arena is everything

TES lore is just a bunch of unplanned bullshit mashed together. Especially when you look at the lore added in from Skyrim. Some of it was just excuses to explain why the devs made major cities so damn small.

>Not liking winged minotaurs
shit taste desu

Mod it into an anime sex slave simulator.

You see that map of Tamreil?

Final Fantasy

WoW before cataclysm

>TES VI
>not Skyrim II

These jews have cannot be stopped no more.

Todd put the kibosh on a char being gay.
He doesn't hate gay people he just wants to avoid becoming Bioware or Obsidian.
He would shitcan anything that pushed into 1488 territory as well.

They just make games not statements.

This.

>"people" still think Morrowind has deep or good lore
lmaoing my ass off

Ultima. It literally is the inspiration behind Elder Scrolls in the first place and it so far surpasses it that there's nothing else even close to comparable to it.

TES VI will be released without any modding tools- tools will be released a year after the initial release of the game and will cost $29.99. Mods will also only by available via creation club and all mods without a price tag of at least $3.99 will be removed. Bethesda will go the Rockstar route and start generating only modded content (non-canon of course) and scrap any expansion plans- content like Hearthfire will be bundled into mods. This will all take place in Skyrim, 100 years after TES V took place- the main plot will be some generic shit about the tyranny of one of Ulfric's descendants and your role to crown his strong, independent sister who is a saint, can do no wrong, and turns out to have a whole Elder Scroll dedicated to her.

It's the future none of us want, but I bet you read this and thought "hey, I wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda pulled all that shit".

The porting of the Hindu faith onto existing TES lore was exceedingly well done.
The extracurricular stuff after is hit or miss to be sure but Morrowind was well done.

Went full retard here boss

any series that doesn't ruin it's own lore each installment. AKA: Elder scrolls. What happened to nords? They used to be interesting and badass, now they're just copy pasted imperials.

It's fantasy shit so all the lore is wasted anyway.

Why would they limit the pool of potential CC contributors by charging for the tools?
It makes no sense business wise.

People learn in the free mods and when they get good enough move into the CC.

Only correct answer in this thread

Only thing in this thread that's correct is W40k

>no flying cocaine whales

>Todd put the kibosh on a char being gay.

Did he? Google only brings up tumblr headcanons.

>So how are you guys going to react when this imaginary situation I came up with to be offended about happens?

Pelinal was supposed to be gay.
Todd told MK to change that.

It isn't an anti gay thing it is a I don't want to be Bioware or Obsidian thing.

Seeing what the trannys have done to Vivec I would say it is a wise decision.
