Would you like it if Bethesda created a book/series of all cannon Elderscrolls/Fallout lore?

Would probably end up half-assed and/or glitched printed pages asking their fans to fix up the holes.

I like the lore enough to find the games interesting but I doubt I would read through a number of books about it. However, Oblivion's collector edition had a small booklet with lore about races, provinces, etc. which I enjoyed.

TES was always a fun world to explore but I don't really remember the individual stories being all that great or memorable. Something something Oblivion gates, something something Dragonborn...

Lore books tend to be hugely boring unless you're a nerd who's obsessed with world building. For examples I point to A World of Ice and Fire, Blizzard's Warcraft Chronicles, and the fill-up-your-bookshelf monster that is History of Middle Earth. You might as well read a history textbook, at least you'd be learning about real things.

While I'm a proud nerd myself, I don't entirely disagree with this statement. I don't think I know anyone who actually enjoyed reading The Silmarillion, no matter how many of my friends have it on their shelf.

@Byshop: I enjoyed the Silmarillion. Heck. I even have The Atlas of Middle Earth. ;)

It's my favorite reading material when I sit down on the throne.

The problem with the Silmarillion, (and it's still better than the stuff I previously mentioned) is that it's mostly about events and large groups of people as opposed to individual developed characters and it's written in the most detached impersonal way possible.

A skyrim book would be a certain pick up from me. Incredible world I'm still learning more about.

TBH, TES lore is so messed up I don't think they could do it.

You are simultaneously disproving and proving my point. It's a "read on the toilet" book.

-Byshop

C'mon. Reading on the toilet is just a subset of all my reading. I also read a lot when I'm not sitting on the throne, including my Tolkien stuff.

I just mean that books kept in the bathroom and typically "pick up for a bit and put back down" books.

-Byshop

Cool.

Anyway, source books for games would be fine to me. I mean, Star Wars had a lot of source books for tabletop role-playing. Probably where the inspiration for Rogue One came from.

I shouldn't talk smack. I was seriously looking at getting some D&D monster manual hard backs while they were on sale. I don't even really play D&D...

I always find reading the books more interesting than what they put into the game.

Most of the Skyrim requests are pretty meh, but there is one in particular that uses books and the idea of history revisionism to great effect. Can't actually remember the name of it (someone will), but it was a pretty cool side-quest that stood out among a sea of "meh".

No, I do not like books of this nature.

I never played much tabletop or paper/pen Star Wars RPGs either. The Star Wars source books just happened to be fun reading. ;)

If Bethesda came out with source books that covered its three Fallout games, I'd probably buy them.

Was going to be my answer. I'd be afraid that I'd get stuck on chapter three and have to wait for a patch.

No. What I would like is for them to bring back the pants and shirts thing from Oblivion (same with Fable 3) and not make it into one whole set like in Skyrim. Also, I want them to make better clothes, sexy clothes, more pants. When I play the Elder Scrolls, I always play as females and I want to make my character hot as possible. I want to wear pants and boots and no shirt on. Also better character creation, the characters in Skyrim were ugly as fudge. Is that too much to ask Bethesda?
