The Elder Scrolls: Hard Cover Lore .

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 12:25 pm

Ahem, first of all before I even start... PLEASE!

Okay, :biggrin: Now really on with it.

Imagine , a hard cover volume for each of the elder scrolls games containing all the books and lore of each game?
That would be the most amazing and fun collectors item ever , even if you have never played the games there would be so much in those volumes you could just sit down and explore the world Behesda Softworks have taken so many years and so much blood and tears to create for us.

I'm taking , books with detailed maps of all of tamriel , history, in-game books , lore , pictures of creatures and races , drawing everything!
so many people would eat that up , if not because they are hardcoe collects or hardcoe fans , the world is just so alive and vivid its like when your in a dream you don't realise it was a dream until you wake up .


Please , everyone keep this thread alive we have to make this happen we are the fans , we are the players we can achieve anything as a group me alone has very little tug in this matter .

Please support my idea, most your ideas and input I'll check this thread regularly and update it .

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

Disagree. One of the best things about ES lore is that a lot of it is vague, outdated, and/or wrong. Having everything in one place, clearly written, would defeat the purpose.

Well, the world is not a modern world, of course some of the info in the books in the game would be wrong . there is no means of information sharing.

It would certainly be a fun collectible, god knows Bethesda's got the money for it now. However, it needn't be very detailed, just a collection of some of the ingame books would suffice.

It could be written as a book containing books, like a high elf scholar who spent his life trying to collect all the books in the world , to build a history .

Define "wrong". Most TES fans would tell you that something is wrong when it is not true to the lore (like european flora where ther should be jungles...oh yes, I did :chaos: ).

I'd not want it to be a reprinting of the books already available in game, or an series of lore summaries. However, if it was an in-universe rendition of the Encyclopaedia Tamrielica, I'd be all over it. Or even something smaller like a new Pocket Guide.

I have a feeling that any such book would contain much that is apocrapha, or at least wildly inaccurate.
