Favorite TES literature series : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

This is for multiple book series in the games, not single books. You can check http://www.imperial-library.info/ if you aren't familiar with these.

I voted A Dance in Fire.

Would have voted for An Argonian Account as well but we can't make multiple choices.

I loved those books though. Amusing and informative. Decumus Scotti was a fun character, too, imo.

A Dance in Fire. Poor ol' Scotty gets himself into the worst situations! I love it because it's both very funny and also adventurous at the same time. A poor sap that has no idea what he's got himself into.

Where's the good ol' Lusty Argonian Maid?

That more of a script of the play rather then actual literature.

Poll wise, I really need to reread many of the literature as my memories faded fast and kind of forgotten some of the stories.

A dance in Fire is good, but I voted for the Sermons

Same. A Dance in Fire is a good yarn, but the 36 Lessons of Vivec are uniquely weird in a way that makes MW stand out for me. Most fantasy religions are just tosh recycled from the Greeks, Celts, etc, but a lot of TES religion is a lot more original and strange, and the Sermons are the major representative.

Barenzia and 2920 are the ones ive read most and am most entertained by. 36 lessons is more like the bible or scientific literature to me, in that ive read it a buttload of times but not really for fun.

Easily 2920. I've read it about a million times and still find it quite brilliant. The Real Barenziah and the Sermons are also totally fascinating.

I have to go with The Argonian Account, followed by Eslaf Erol, because both sort of teach a "TES lesson" while being incredibly funny.

I voted Argonian Account. Mystery of Talara was good, too.

I voted King Edward. It's one of the greatest literary works in Daggerfall and, despite its uninspired (and possibly retconned) high fantasy narrative, it's a very thrilling adventure. A Dance in Fire has a special place near my heart as well.

I voted 2920. I also love the Daggerfall version of The Real Barenzia.

2920 is my favorite.
