And Bethesda is more involved in making sure the lore stays on track, as it's a small part of a larger universe. Yes, ESO is fully TES canon. The lore is one of the single most important things to the Bethesda team and they didn't want ZOS mucking it up.

And they quite frankly, have more money than you could remotely think of. Thing is, they're not publicly traded, so these things are not common knowledge.
Well Google did me wrong then lol. Regardless Bethesda does have a huge focus on lore. Their gameplay in games has always been spotty, however they are generally beautiful and realized worlds.
