I love lore in games, but it needs to be connected to the story.
For example the lusty argonian is one of the few books I read, because it was mentioned in the story. I understand that to have a well designed world you need 10x the lore you actually share, so I don't mind there's stuff I don't care about, but in skyrim I feel like they got lazy and created a bunch of lore purely for quantity purposes.
I'm torn on that. It is make the world feel more lived in, but with how boring and mundane it was, it detracted from the sense of wonder. Too realistic makes it boring.
- jon-wood 5y agoMy biggest annoyance with the lore was that I'd endlessly find Generic Fantasy Tale (Part VIII), not having found the first 7 parts yet, and so just be left with some out of context nonsense. Either deliver a novel intact, or don't bother please.
- solarmist 5y agoWell yes agreed. I'm assuming that I-VII weren't available, not just you didn't have them.
