I don't personally consider it lore, but I think you kinda have to, since it IS an Elder Scrolls game.

Now, that could go either way. Observe the Fallout series: "Tactics" is canon, even though it doesn't follow the format of the series. But there are several others that nobody played that aren't. So we'll see how Bethesda calls it.
