So yeah just wondering on how much do people know about the lore of skyrim, are some gonna be hitting it straight and gaining knowledge by just doing in the game, or have some learnt things by looking through ever book incase it contains info. So my realy question is how much you think you know and how did you find it out?

I like to think I have a fairly firm grasp on the lore. I learned from reading a bunch of in-game books and then reading even more at The Imperial Library website, then by discussing things in the Elder Scrolls Lore forum here.

For Skyrim, I plan on reading every new book in sight.

I know little about Skyrim unfortunately. But I do plan to read all of the books. Hell, I'll spend my gold JUST to buy books. I want to know what happened to many of the important figures in the 3rd Era. Barenziah, Chancellor Ocato, Helseth, the Knights of the Nine, Martin Septim, everyone!
