Will we get anything that is both good and serious?

I wouldn't judge them based on this. There's cornier stuff already in the games.

What the...is this?

It would appear to be a children's bedtime story, posted on April 1st. I'm shocked and outraged and have lost all confidence in TESO.

See that? That's dry sarcasm. It's what this thread deserves. Give them a chance.

Hmm...

Has my thread offended you somehow? I asked a question, I didn't say: "Expect this from TESO lore."

I just find it strange that they would release this first rather than something that exhibits the quality of Schick's writing. The three serious books we have so far are all pretty boring and average. I've been waiting for some additional lore texts and....this.....is what I got. Its just disappointing.

MMO's commonly have terrible lore. Its usually shallow filler or comedy. Elder Scrolls has never been like that in the past. I think its legitimate to ask if that's the direction we are headed. Look up Shick's bio. Dude isn't a writer like I would expect them to hire. His only "writing" is about table top RPGs.

Most threads in this section do, so don't feel special.

I'm saying don't count these guys out just yet.
