You should stop making DLCs and "Chapters" based on previous TES games.

    I'm hoping they switch gears and have a chapter taking place in Middle Earth or a Fallout crossover.

    ESO is canon. Deal with it.
    Going to quote this to trigger people who think they decide what the lore is for TES. Bring on Skyrim next, can't wait!
    Im gunna quote this to trigger the people who think that ZOS owns the TES ip!

    Thats the thing man zos doesn't get to decide lore. Bethesda does. And just because zos says they work closely with Bethesda, have you looked to see what "closely" intails?
    ZOS most certainly decides the lore that they introduce in ESO. Sure they have to run it by Lawrence, and Lawrence makes sure it doesn't conflict with what BGS have written, but it's all additions made by ZOS, not BGS. BGS don't write for ESO.

    As someone else pointed out, ZeniMax Media owns Bethesda, and thus The Elder Scrolls ip. If Zenimax allow Bethesda to head lore development, it would likely be out of courtesy rather than by right. Which would make sense, as Bethesda has been developing the lore for years, but that doesn't mean that the work done by Zenimax is any less official.

    I don't understand that line of thinking. It may be set in the same place as TES3, but it's got a completely new storyline and all the assets would have to be created new. If that's not "creating content", what is it? And what does it matter if it's the same setting as TES3? New content is new content, whatever province it's set in.

    Who decides if fictional content is 'cannon' or not? I'm guessing it's whoever has the IP rights ;)

    People need to take the "canon" crap way less seriously. I know we want general consistency, but jesus people, get a life. Not everything can be perfect.

    Just put aside all your little quibbles and enjoy the story for what it is. It's fine.
