Basically what said Timeoin said. Also, adding new lore to the Elder Scrolls universe isn't the same as "forgetting about the lore". For example, in the Dragonborn DLC you meet Miraak who is said to be the first Dragonborn, despite the fact that he'd never been mentioned before in any previous Elder Scrolls game or lore.
