So did they?

For anyone who doesn't want to read the books ingame:

Edit: I mean all ingame books of previous titles.

Do you mean all books from previous series?

I'm almost 100% certain they didn't, since none of the Vivec books have turned up in the over 100 hours I've played. They included a fair number of more general ones though, but glancing through a list of Morrowind's books there are quite a few I haven't seen in Skyrim.

Really? I thought they wanted to slowly build up a giant ingame library.

I think they left out the books that make no sense culturally, and the Sermons of Vivec are gone because without the number of skills being consistent with Morrowind they would make no sense. In general the books that give skills have been changed from one game to the next.

Also there is a mess of books that refer to game systems that no longer exist at all, like draining, reflecting and levitation spells...

quite alot of books wouldnt make sense anymore.


They have a large range of general books that are added to every game...but the majorit of in-game were written in Daggerfall and Morrowind...with only quest specifica nad location specific book being new.
