By far the angle that allows ES lore to trample on most other fantasy game lore is in the philosophy behind all the conflict within the setting. The Anu/Padomay divide and how it's reflected in the races and powers within the world. Big fan of Boethiah myself.I prefer them aesthetically usually, and I like that they have more unique lore than like generic fantasy high medieval human kingdoms... well, that or "barbarian bonk" humans. Funnily enough, I have gotten into arguments in like ESO, or steam community, with human purists - the people that only play as one. A lot of people do like that trope. I wish more games sort of fit their lore like how ES does their races, speaking on that. What I mean is quite detailed and unique backstories, that tie directly into the world's unique setting. Granted, ES has a habit of having that lore trampled on with each further entry. You know nords actually have/had their own pantheon of Gods?
I'd actually like to see more unique racial lore and culture in this game as well, speaking of that too. I like how Ishgardian elezen, hingans, garleans, etc. are fairly unique. It would be interesting if they delved deeper into this sort of stuff, in EW, and further patches and expansions.
