thus the gameplay would be monumentally different without having to sacrifice history, canon, lore whatever you want to call it

btw in the end what you can truly consider canon is the main quest/storyline that you as a player play out as well as any other information provided by subsequent questlines

no other literature whether in game or out (MK) can be consider canon bc Canon is any information coming directly from an original work of art or creation and since a video game thanks to modern technology is considered created and a work of art it falls under those rules its just like with comics surely Stan Lee can say whatever he wants about his characters outside of the actual works of art but the mind is fleeting but his comics each went through many edits by him thus they are the only true source of canon its just like when you do a report for school you have to quote primary sources a.k.a. canon in order to make a compilation of that is a report but in the enfd the reader is charged with reading the primary sources for the real information just bc mk or kk said or wrote anything does not make it canon what canon is comes from the work of art itself That's not a bad idea, considering there appears to be massive chunks of lost history on the Ancient and Mythic times,then again, perhaps the reason for that is so Bethesda can create a game set in those days wihout contradicting their own history.
