This isn't a Dragon Break, is it? Pretty sure they've straight-up said in the past that ESO is canon.

EDIT: Confirmed; from an interview with Matt Firor: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/b7cc1f/eso_is_not_in_a_dragon_break/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body

Clearly the vestige(s) are in it and can see it. Unfortunately that does not include Mr. Firor.

Your role in Morrowind is forgotten in Oblivion who was a few year later.
Your role in Oblivion was forgotten in Skyrim, granted you was an sidekick not Nerevarin and its 200 years.
ESO is set in an dark age in Tamriel with emperors with very short lifespans getting belt feed trough the slaughterhouse.
That is that people remember not you fighting Molag Bal simply as it went on for so long.
It end with Tiber Septim conquer and rebuilding the empire. 300 years after ESO,

I'm more amused by the fact that you're willing to give games like Redguard, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and any of the other singleplayer games after Daggerfall a pass for any of the slights you mentioned but you'll insist ESO is "set in a dragonbreak or it's just a bad game" despite doing what every other game in the series does.

Good day.

I have no idea how I managed to finish Thieves Guild DLC storyline but Im playing for years and I still haven't finished Dark Brotherhood main storyline yet. This DLC was probably supposed to kill us with boredom. Such hidden plot twist when we die before the storyline ends. It's just pure example of pretending that something is longer than it really is. Instead of keeping the player in game it is simply tiring. The game should be fun and they keep pushing such low quality content.

Difficulty level -42000 doesn't help the stories to be interesting.

When you 2 shot the main enemies in the quest line, what's the point ?

Because the world would be full of evil overlords or daedric princes then. What you are suggesting would work perfectly in a singleplayer game. But in a multiplayer game, you are limited by consistency and technical boundaries. I think it's safe to say, that the majority of people don't want to roll a breton sorcerer and then turn into some daedric thingy.
There is nothing wrong with not liking it. You are not obliged to play any dlc quest line.

What would be interesting is if there were a good to evil scale, and depending on your quest choices it would swing the needle more toward one extreme or the other...and if you consistently made good or evil choice(85%+) it would flag you for open world PvP to those who consistently made the other choice. Most people would make the "good" choices...and so become PvP flagged for "evil" characters...and vice versa....there would always be more "good" than "evil" characters in the world, and those that reached the 85% threshold would be flagged for bounty quests posted in either the outlaws refuge or fighters guild, whatever. A system like that would mean your quest choices actually mean something...of course if you want to avoid open world PvP, you could always just stay under the threshold and quests could provide a fairly neutral response to make it easily controllable.

You'd be forcing PvErs to play a specific way in order to avoid becoming targets for PvP tryhards who dont care about the story and would just brute force their way thru questing to get to the fighting. Thats a problem. Good people dont want to play Meh characters so they wouldnt have to worry about constant ganking.

It needs to be accepted, open world PvP is a plain bad idea.

I don't "give them a pass" I just realize that the point of the TES games and the fact that "my" first person experience of being the "main character" is different from yours, and that both are valid.

Which is essentially one of the core features of a Dragonbreak.

And for some fun philosophical reading:
