@juergen_hubert @yora Or another way to put it, there's not really a ton of interest available if you want to play most Elder Scrolls games as a priest or as a religious character, despite there being so much theoretical depth to those systems.

Eh, the lore itself is so contradictory that it could be interpreted in any number of ways. As it should be - consider how messy real world religion, mythology, and folklore can be!

And as a folklorist, I can appreciate how they keep "canon" vague and contradictory.

@juergen_hubert @yora Yeah, I don't necessarily mean hammering it down, I just mean interacting with characters' beliefs about it more. Especially regarding religion: except the Talos controversies there's really only the odd quest here or there for Skyrim characters if you want to dig into the religious side for example (and most of the daedric stuff is daedra very directly poking you to clean their laundry or get their shopping rather than thinking about their cults).

One of the things I did like about #Starfield is that you could pick some background elements which had some influence on the story. Having parents around was pretty fun, for instance.

I would like to see something similar for The Elder Scrolls 6.
