Former Bethesda developer, Michael Kirkbride, recently declared that "canon" is no longer practical in the Elder Scrolls universe and has abolished it. TES lore is now "open source" and all views are valid.

He declared it so I guess that it's in effect. Lore is dead. Quote: "Former Bethesda Developer". Sorry, but if someone is a FORMER, that usually assosciates them with no longer working for or with the company.

Otherwise, we actually might as well go and label every single TES game as non-canon. And if a universe has no canon material, could you then classify non-canon material as being non-canon? You'd basically be nullifying the existence of the universe and that my friends, would be very boring to me.

Very boring indeed.

As such, I chose to ignore Michael Kirkbride's comment. I've read through the C0DA that was recently released and not only is it confusing as hell, but seems to draw some lines that don't make any sense in the TES universe and also seems to contradict certain well established facts in the TES universe (Confirmed through playing the game itself)... I could be wrong about that last part, but it's so confusing that I just generally like to assume that it isnt part of the universe at all...

Fan fiction is great and all... just don't mix the two. I don't work with Bethesda, so what right would I have to say what is canon and what isnt?

That being said, that topic was about Dragons. So lets go back to that. I would definately be keen on meeting or fighting a dragon in ESO. There's no reason why they can't make it canon.
