    to be fair I think (based on my limited personal experience and people I know) that people who really like Skyrim as one of their favorite games, typically arent the kind of gamer who looks for narrative or even knows what the Narrative is in Skyrim
    The entire premise behind Elder Scrolls is a series of interconnected narratives that form a world with a reasonably consistent and complex lore.

    So you're saying people who like Skyrim don't really care about the lore of Tamriel. That's interesting.

    Given how heavily modded the game often is, players in Skyrim tend to just do their own thing, whether there are quests or not, tends to be irrelevant, same with the lore, or even the games storyline, players are often too busy to even bother with it, its because the game is so open ended that it became this popular, and there are so many mods that just playing the base game, is probably something a very small minority of players actually do. There are probably several books in the game that contain the lore of tamriel and the various provinces etc. but other than whether they are a skill book, or for the value of the things, monetary value that is, i think they are mostly just used as shelf decorations :p

    New Poll idea: Do you still hit your wife?
    Trick question

    Answering yes or no would be an admission of guilt ;) 
    Exactly thats why I posted it. Answering his poll means you agree there was a catastophe lol

    Which, as far as I can figure out, has something to do with cats and obscure scrabble words meaning sandstone.

    "catastophe"....no there wasn't any cat mutilations.

    And your poll isn't going quite as well as you thought huh OP?

    Yes i would buy one and plan to,it is DOOM because Carmack is in charge not Zenimax.The new Doom game looks really cool.The mmorpg genre is near dead across the board,so don't let that discourage you,there are lots of good single player games.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I voted  NO. I  will not be negative and  detail why. I have already done so many times in the past. Looking forward....I anxiously await Camelot Unchained beta...which seems to be very close. I stopped playing about the end of year 1.

    ESO has been a failure in my eyes since beta, too many limits, I can't even launch the game now since their last update and yes my PC has a DX11 graphics card as a company don't think they can be trusted its been over a week unable to play ESO.

    If I did buy another game from zenimax it would have to be after ESO as I can't go back in time to purchase one! j/k
