We use eras IRL, too. Only two of them, though: BCE/BC and CE/AD. If you're a historian, it might be unwise to just say "in the year 100"... it might be better to say if you mean 100 BCE or 100 CE. It's the same in Skyrim. If you speak about an event happening last generation, simply saying 150 is enough, because people know you mean 4E 150. But if you're speaking more generally, well, you should specify if you mean DE 150, ME 150, 1E 150, 2E 150, 3E 150 or 4E 150...
