I've been thinking of getting back into ESO again after a long hiatus. While there are some valid criticisms regarding the state of the game, I personally have always appreciated the way the development team has handled ESO lore. I feel they have added depth to the breadth that the prior Elder Scrolls games have given us - lore is like history, and it connects the reader to the world they find themselves in.
With that in mind (and the prospect of a new class up and coming) I wanted to start a thread to ask about class lore, in particular the Wardens.
I've chosen the Warden to present this question with only because it is the class I main - however, the Dragon Knight and now the Arcanist would also apply...
Will we ever get more lore behind these classes? Is this even something the community would like to see? I know for myself, having enough backstory to ground one's character in the world - it allows for more freedom in creative expression than a blank page would. With a blank page you have infinite possibilities, and options sometimes are overwhelming. What I'm trying to convey is that I feel the class lore that we currently have is a little underwhelming - the Necromancer, Templar, and Sorcerer are all well-established themes (in general fantasy and The Elder Scrolls alike) but the former three are not. This isn't just specific to the Elder Scrolls, but to ESO itself; so, do you think an expansion that lets us explore the history of these classes would be something feasible? Or are we better off keeping the status quo?
Thanks!
