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.AtraisMachina wrote: »Im gunna quote this to trigger the people who think that ZOS owns the TES ip!Going to quote this to trigger people who think they decide what the lore is for TES.

ESO is canon. Deal with it.
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?

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.AtraisMachina wrote: »I know thats all there gunna do because they dont wanna spend dev time actually creating content
Who decides if fictional content is 'cannon' or not? I'm guessing it's whoever has the IP rights
