King Emeric doesn't have dementia, and seems to be in good mental health I believe. He did go through a lot of mental trauma though in the Dc storyline but that is understandable. So I consider it very unlikely, and he clearly would know when he became King, and I doubt he would get that wrong.

Are we 100% certain that all game events happen in the same year? The player loses their soul, meets the companions, stops Molag Bal and saves Coldharbour, saves the lands of the three alliances, saves Craglorn and all of Nirn, saves Orsinium, saves Vvardenfell, saves Clockwork City, saves Summerset, saves Western Skyrim and is on the way to save Blackwood. The game has been out for almost seven years now. 11 - 7 = 4.

Yes, we're sure. According to ZOS Loremaster Leamon Tuttle:
"So, time in-game is personal to you. Given that multiple players can play content in any order, we've resisted the push to advance to 2E 583. For that reason, we assume that all events of ESO take place in 2E 582."

"And yeah, we edited the body text of "Birds of Wrothgar" to reduce confusion on this point. I think there are good arguments both for and against, but remaining in 582 is the current deign decision."

In other words, you can roleplay the passage of time if you like, but ESO is going to continue to present content as if it is all happening in the same year. That's the current design decision, which has clearly continued as seen in the stated chronology with Emperor Leovic's reign.

I started in the VVardenfell (sp?) area because I only had the base game plus morrowind. Then I bought the new expansion and started a new character and started in Skyrim. It was really confusing.
I like to play things in order and it seems like the cold harbour questlines and the main alliance quests should be first? I’m still doing the AD quest line. I stopped for now because I’m waiting for companions. I find the lore/timelines so confusing, but it could also be because this is my first Elder Scrolls game ever.

I wish they'd stop trying to set everything in the same year and just stick with actual continuity. I don't think they need to restrict what players can do because my experience is that people who don't care about doing things in the right order also don't care if they see references to past events before playing those events.
My other MMO is Guild Wars 2, which is similar to ESO in that it gives you the freedom to do things in almost any order. There are level restrictions on most of the base game maps, but you're free to play on any of the ones at or below (or just above) your level, and once you reach the maximum level you can do anything in any order, including jumping straight into the latest release without doing any of the previous stuff.
But the storyline still has a fixed continuity. It started in 1325 AE and the latest release is 1334AE so it's progressing in roughly real time and newer releases will reference older ones, characters get older as time goes on, people change jobs or move away or die etc.
Yeah, it's official and it's a super stupid for a story-orientated project. The Vestige could be more than one, but who is cloning a NPCs?Are we 100% certain that all game events happen in the same year?
I'm really sorry to those people who will work on TES VI and try to explain all this one-year chaos in the Second Era...
Well, when I read about it long time ago this was presented as a good base for the project implementation which wouldn't interfere with the singles development and a mostly unknown events of 2 Era will not dictate a certain scenario. Considering that the events take place long before any previous game in the series, it's obvious that all this not mentioned, but it can't be ignored in the next project. If the local people can remember the Knahaten Flu which starts 22 years before Planemeld and everything else, why they can't remember Daedra invasions, Dragons and Three Banners War?Isn't the whole reason they chose the 2nd Era interregnum due to the fact that all history and memory of it gets erased/forgotten that way it wouldn't cause issues with the mainline games.
