    TES lore should mirror gameplay. Isn't that the whole reason for the story line?

    Otherwise it is just poop, regardless of the animal defecating.

    Sometimes it has to yield to MMO gameplay. Is it part of the lore that Imperials are born with a passive ability to regenerate their health lol? Wouldn't we have seen that in past games?
    I don't always drink Skooma, but when I do I go to the Southwall Corner Club. May you walk on warm sands my friends.

    Orcs had a starting bonus to the smithing/armorer skill and the use of heavy armor in previous TES games, starting from Morrowind where they were first made a playable race. In ESO, Orcs level up their heavy armor skill slightly faster, but they have no bonus to blacksmithing.

    If ESO mirrored lore, you'd be killed on sight when harvesting plants in Valenwood. Let's see how you like that. :)

    Oh! When underwater levels come along, can my argonian have unlimited water breathing?
    Drag milksops under water during PvP, spam CC and make them drown.
