The largest lore issue I have is the ret-conning of the area of Cyrodiil no longer being a jungle. Many different in game books refer to Cyrodiil as being a dense jungle that was unfit for farmland. Tiber Septim, who knew CHIM, changed the land from jungle to forest. For those of you who have played Skyrim Heimskr in Whiterun quotes a portion of the "From the Many-Headed Talos" by Micael Kirkbride

"And after the throne of Alinor did finally break at the feet of Men, and news of it came to the Dragon Emperor in Cyrodiil, he gathered his captains and spoke to them, saying:

"'You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.'"

The pocket guide to the empire refers to early Cyrodiil as a jungle as well. Zenimax has simply stated that it was just a translation error and thats end of story.
