At a more on topic stance that won't make all the kiddies cry, something I have always noticed about TES games in general. My two cents, not at all meant to be passed as fact or anything. Yes I am the anon below.

They are very strict with taking place in the "modern era" I guess you could call it? As far as TES goes it's modern anyway. The spinoffs like Battlespire and Shadowkey were fun, but even though they were the only games to take place in a much older time(aside from the upcoming TESO of course), they didn't reveal a whole lot about the time period. We know lore, yes, but experiencing it is different. Think...let's say the Bromjunaar Sanctuary in Skyrim. A tantalizing glimpse of a time long passed, yet you cannot venture outside of it.

Bethesda seems to really like leaving the past as a somewhat amorphous base for their games story, never really delving too far, able to change a few details at will to suit each games storylines but not tearing gaping plot holes in the lore.

No, console players aren't all actually children, and certainly not "worse gamers" than PC guys that actually know the whole "master race" comment is a joke to make fun of people that think themselves superior for such a petty reason. It's a joke to exaggerate the state of wikia. Cheers.
