after reading/exploring/and selling items that date back to whatever or doing quests in the Ayleid ruins in Elder Scrolls Oblivion or the Cold/not empty/beautiful ruins of the Dwemer and just plain ruins in general and doing quests that either was part of the century or year old struggle is anyone fascinated with the history behind it all

Yeah I have taken a huge interest in the lore in this one, I've started pouring through books in game and some of them are very interesting regarding lore/history. It really is a fleshed out world when you look at it that closely.

Than you discover ancient books that make him out to be a betrayer, murderer, blasphemer and heretic. Considering that you really can’t catch some NPCs who should know the truth and stick them into the Dark Brotherhood torcher chamber till they crack is kind of irritating.
