Well how do we even know if the planet nirn has the same mechanics as earth, what if there is no magnetic pull.

 

Q. How do you know ANYTHING about Nirn?

 

A. We MAKE IT UP.

 

You cannot just make up lore in a game, especially TES because the creators go so in depth about almost everything that anything not found in the game is probably unknown to anyone on Nirn.

I CAN'T? How do you plan to stop me? Are you going to come to my house and delete all of my mods that do not align sufficiently to your interpretation of lore? How do you know that Nirn DOESN'T have a magnetic pole? Who gets to decide? What makes your completely made-up opinion better than mine, and why should I or anybody else care what you think about what should or shouldn't be "lore?"

 

It's a single player game. The lore is precisely what I say it is and there is nothing you can do about it. I hope that it keeps you up at night, tossing and turning, sweating in your sheets, fretting that somewhere, somebody is playing Skyrim with a mod that conflicts with your personal ideas about how a magical, made-up world with freaking elves and dragons and all manner of other absurdities works. "No... No..." I hope you say, clawing at the sheets in your restless slumber. "No, please, not the mod that gives everybody cat ears... No... I beg you NOT THE COMPASS! NOT THE COMPASS!" And then you wake screaming, and your anguished cry slowly fades into futile blubbering and the cruel knowledge that I can install any mod I want and there is nothing you can do about it.

in Lofgren's defense, the history of TES is full of examples of skewed or disregarded lore. ESO being the most recent example of where things have previously been described as one thing and turned into another for the sake of being easy vs lore accurate.

What in Oblivion are you talking about! I was just saying that the official lore from Bethesda says a lot of information, you don't need to get all mad about that. It doesn't matter to me if anyone has unfriendly mods, i really do not care to tell you the truth. All i was saying is that you cannot make up lore because person A might have different lore mods that person B, so you cant talk about lore that doesn't exist mainly because your the only one that knows about it. besides i wont be staying awake all night contemplating this because i know your kind, your just an internet troll and a keyboard warrior.

well there is one way all of the lore from ESO could have been forgotten, all of us TES veterans should remember the "Dragon break"

check out this link and tell me what you think.

I've been playing the series since Daggerfall was new, I know well the Dragonbreak. I also know well that the lore is a mishmash of ideas from people who are not the same now as it was back then and that there have been sections of overlooked or disregarded lore in the creation or use of lore as the games have gone on; just as their is lore that simply doesn't fit with the rest of the lore.
