That's a pretty hasty assumption to make, no? Long term Fallout fans said that Fallout 3 would fail because it was being made by Bethesda. Did it? No. Although Fallout lore was kinda ruined by it.

So while I can see the lore being destroyed in TES Online, I can also hope that it won't be. And given that the MMO was only announced 2 weeks ago, would it be too much to not damn a game that you know next to nothing about?
