Lore text on loading screens pointless

Enodoc

If you guys are just interested in what the loading screens say, you can read them all (in no particular order) over on UESP.

@Enodoc thanks for the info, I'll take a look.
To be fair though it would still be nice to read them during loading rather the have to go to a third party. Cheers though.

Oh yeah, I completely agree. All they need to do is set it back to what it has always been on PC until IC. One message per loading screen.

Yeah.. i noticed too that the lore text deseapering too soon upon loading. It's seens that it's a bug the devs introduced with the IC patch, didn't happen before.

@Enodoc thanks for the tip!

No it did, it just may have waited a bit longer before shifting. It has to do with the fact the game prepares two seperate loading screens that both take place after leaving the zone and before entering the new zone. It was more noticable before IC because it did not involve the smooth dissolve we experience now. Some places however are immune to those tidbits for new players and displayed nothing but lore and are therefore uninfluenced by this issue, such as The Harborage.

Agreed. I'm certain it happened to me before the IC update.

Enodoc

I don't remember double loading screens ever happening before IC, except when directly porting into a dungeon (as it loads the parent zone before the dungeon).

I've only noticed this within the last two patches but I have to agree its way to fast and I love the lore of each new area and would like to be able to read them.

Oh.. i didn't know the inner works the game does on the loading screen. I said that because i didn't experience that kind of problem before the big patch for IC.

I can also say that this bug didn't happen with me before the Imperial City patch. Something definitely changed with it.

Marques

Still no feedback from the developers about this issue?

A second DLC (Orsinium) was already released after the bug/issue was introduced and I feel like we lore enthusiasts are being neglected.

Is this a bug on consoles? On PC, you get one loading screen message for the entire duration of the loading screen.

I've had mine change while trying to read it and I'm on PC. Just noticed it more recently so I don't recall if it ever happened before the dlcs.

Glaiceana

Yeah can confirm it is still happening to me. (PC)

The lore text always disappears after about 2 seconds, switching to a basic gameplay tip (like "You can't use abilities while sprinting!"). I am unable to finish reading the lore text almost all of the time. (On PC)

Yeah my earlier post no longer applies. It seems this bug has proliferated onto PC as well.

Apologies, I didn't notice how old your comment was or I wouldn't have quoted. For some reason I thought this was a new discussion.

Next time I'll read to the end before commenting.

People asking for longer loading times... not sure if trolling or serious...

Yea, I need to go take a college class in speed reading just for this.

PainfulFAFA

I want to read cool stuff like the loading screens from Skyrim!
Skyrim loading screens are the best loading screens

They just need to add an option to remove the "tutorial"-type information from loading screens. That way it will only display the lore stuff and not the redundant information that you've already knows for the past 7 months.

This would definitely be the ideal solution and I believe also the simpler one to implement.

Ya know,if someone cant find something worth making a thread about,they'll just post about anything to whine.I mean,really? The text bothers you??
Just ignore it if it does.Jeez.

This thread isn't about the text bothering people, ignoring it would achieve the exact opposite of what we are asking. The thread is about the fact that sometimes the loading screen text flips to the next one before there's any chance to read the first. People WANT to read what it says, not ignore the loading screen text, unless its the generic "Don't trust ZOS impersonators". We are talking about lore things, information about areas, interesting stuff

Please forgive me.I am an idiot. XD I read it differently.My bad!

nimander99

Yeah, something happened with Orsinium launch that makes the first load screen text clip out almost instantly... I've loaded in and out of the dungeons several times just to read the whole thing...
