Hi Cipher, a couple of points...

The Ebonhart Pact was formed between the Nords, Dunmer and Argonians due to a common enemy - the Akaviri who were invading at the time (Pre-ESO). And yes, this particular Akaviri invasion has been documented from before ESO was made.

There is 1000 years or so difference between ESO and Skyrim. So the Aldemeri Dominion actually collapses sometime inbetween ESO and TES: Skyrim and is later reforged to combat the Imperial Empire.

As for the "Dead Throne"... that's already explained. ESO takes place during the Interregnum period which, again, was canon established before ESO's creation. This is the period that Tiber Septim finally unites under one banner and wins many years down the track. As such, a massive civil war actually fits quite perfectly.

I played Oblivion, and once you get to flesh out the questlines, Molag Bal doesnt have the same plot as Mehrunes Dagon. You need to remember that it's pretty standrd for a Elder Scrolls game to have two major storylines. A mortal orientated one (Civil war in TES: Skyrim between Stormcloaks and Imperials - Civil War across Tamriel in ESO) and a daedric/aedra/magic/whateverfloatsyourboat storyline (Alduin and the dragons in TES: Skyrim and Molag Bal invading in ESO). So yes, I suppose you could say its the same things. It's been the same thing for a very long time. Get over it. That's their style.

I'm interested in your response...
