I would have liked to have had a strategy guide that covered more lore than useless maps. I would have liked a book I could sit down and enjoy reading stories and the lore of the world.

You usually don't find things like that in a strategy guide. There are however a couple of Elder Scrolls novels out, I own the first one and it's quite good honestly

you will find that just like with all of the technical information that the strategy guide provides, lore can be found in these forums for free. the only reason strategy guides sell collectors additions is because that is the only reason they can justify to consumers that what they are selling has any value. would you buy a collector's eddition of your car's manual?

... i guess that was not very helpful, my suggestion is to go to the lore section of the forums. Just be warned, you may loose what sanity you have.

You want lore?

Imperial Library has all of the ES books in it.


Plus there are two Elder Scrolls novels that are very lore heavy and a great read.
