The reason why a Lore Bible is extremely recommended when developing worlds is because it ensures that there is no way that any events could contradict each other (DRAGON BREAK DOESNT COUNT).

Definitely. I do this when I'm writing, and it helps immensely to make sure that I maintain consistency with all my characters, events, locations, and so on. I'm pretty sure that Bethesda has loremasters (MK was one, I believe) whose whole, or large parts of their job is to keep track of lore.
