So after reading the comments from the lastest poll, Which race would you like to see?
(http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/121283/which-race-would-you-like-to-see-on-teso-and-why/p1), I saw that a lot of people care about the lore. This may not be a new thing to TES players, but in all MMOs the lore fans are very low. Not many even care about lore. I'm very glad to see a lot of ESO players do care about lore. It does make ZoS's job harder with new content though.
P.S Dragon Break!

emeraldbay✭✭✭✭✭Yes, it is one of my favorite things in ESOI definitely care about the lore. In fact, I'm not really an MMO guy, and the only thing that made me want to check this one out was the fact that it said "Elder Scrolls" on it. Definitely not regretting that decision so far.-T h e - A l d m e r i - I n i t i a t i v e-— O r d e r - o f - t h e - R a v y n —5

lecarcajou_ESO✭✭✭✭Yes, Not a lore stickler though.To refine my response a little, I do not know the ES lore well enough to tell whether it is being adhered to or not; however, I do like to see some sort of consistency of setting, technology, races, etc. Orcs suddenly riding around on choppers and goblins driving cars through their steampunk town were some of the things that turned me off to WoW, for example. Aside from my own take on lore, I can certainly sympathize with those who've known and enjoyed ES lore for some time and who therefore favor an even narrower interpretation."Morally Decentralized."4

**"but in all MMOs the lore fans are very low. Not many even care about lore."
Huge trite assumption I disagree with. Lore and storyline have always been fairly important and of interest to myself and the PvE folks I've guilded with. Please don't try to further crimp open the supposed divide between players who have mainly a background of pc MMO's and those who have primarily played single player games.
I have plenty of friends who played the ES games and while they may read some of the lore, they were most interested in their armor, stats, the huge map/exploring and/or combat.
Really, MMO'rs can read too and may even, *gasp, enjoy and actually be able to immerse themselves in the lore AT THE SAME TIME THEY ENJOY BEING COMPETITIVE!!

This one must agree on one's point. Khajiit is only interested in lore of khajiit, all man and mer are the same to this one.
On another note, khajiit does enjoy picking up volumes of "the lusty argonian maid."Edited by Kafolarbear on July 22, 2014 1:56AMVeteran Rank 5 Khajiit Nightblade.

Personally , i only ever cared about lore in 3 MMOs , TES/SW:TOR/GW2.
Outside these 3 , i really never even tried to learn the lore of other MMOs , which includes WoW , my friends seem to like the lore there."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
