So if lore is not explicitly stated, it is bad, becapse of guess work, unless it’s in TES, because then it sparks “fan theories”

I never said DS lore was “bad”, I just said it wasn’t really that deep, and most of it was based on guess work from fans. I like DS and I’ve played the whole trilogy, including DLCs. Then I said that in comparison, ES is much deeper - or more “expansive”/“developed”, if you prefer those terms - while also offering room for fans theories. That’s all.

Basically, learning DS lore is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle that is missing a lot of pieces, whereas learning ES is like reading history books, which can never give you all the answers.

Which one has better themes, or deeper themes, or someone likes more, etc., is all different from that.
