User blog comment:The Rim of the Sky/Bethesda to Publish Physical Lore based books on the Elder Scrolls series/@comment-24640703-20141023175055/@comment-1992639-20141103164525

Does it matter? MK is in the same awkward position as George Lucas is now. Both gave up their position as official writer for their franchise, MK for Elder Scrolls and GL for Star Wars, and that means whatever they now say will not influence or change the path their former franchise will take with different writers at the helm. They may comment on the events that occur as the story progresses with new writers, but the product itself will show only what these new writers choose.

The new Star Wars movie will only show whatever story L. Kasdan has written and TES 6 will narrate to us whatever story Bethesda's own writers come up with, unfolding to their design. If Bethesda likes ESO's course, they may even ask to borrow Lawrence Schick for TES 6 themselves.

Frankly, I like playing the games and expanding on what happens there, I think many do. What the games and their upcoming books say is true, mostly only matters for me.
