You do realise I'm being sarcastic, right? I don't honestly believe that CoD stories are picked by picking ideas out of hats. I didn't think I had to specify that... but I guess I do.

And it's not possible that CoD has as much effort put into the story than Elder Scrolls. That's not an opinion, it's fact. CoD game are released every 1-2 years, whereas Elder Scrolls games take 5 years. Bethesda has much more time to work on it than Treyarch or Activision.
