Is it such a bad thing to adhere to lore?

[Nintii]

The Akaviri race in the Elder Scrolls - it is said - largely resemble the people of the Asian culture, therefore, katana's are used in the Elder Scrolls lore ...

now because this is the case, I feel that any weapon could fit right in with the Elder Scrolls - because who is to say that they are not from some undiscovered

or forgotten race whose weapons have now been freshly unearthed ?

After all, the Akaviri according to the Wiki were an ancient race never encountered by modern day Elder Scroll culture, so to it could be true of anyone or

anything that may be found in The Elder Scrolls ... so who is to say that anything is "anti-lore" ... you, me, Bethesda ?
