It's an expression used by those who understand ES lore, when they see ES Lore untastefully handled, in a way that contradicts all that is known of ES Lore.

When making quests, always take into account a certain amount of realism, and appreciation of current Lore (This comming from a person who has drafted 50+ quests for various projects amongst the ES community, so I know what I'm talking about ). Start out with designing smallish quests, like a farmer needs some seeds to plant his crops for the year, but can't make it to X town, and so on.

I see, you're right.
But I didn't mend to make any quest for the fourth age. Just the quest I had in mind that I told the first reply. I know it's quest is big, but I don't think it will be impossible for anyone to make it.
I know what you mean, it will be a lot work for one, or more persons, but it was just a thought I liked to share.

Bye,

I don't mind if you find it contradicting to the Lore but I do mind your choice of words. I am sure bob196045 will give his input sooner or later.

I don't like this tone (patronizing) perhaps it's common on the other boards (by you) but certainly not on the ST boards.

If you're the expert you say to be, be constructive and help Sanpicture to change the concept.

Thank you.

I think it's an interesting idea, and I bet it would turn out to be a really cool quest. If you can make it fit into official lore I don't have any problems with it. I don't know if it can fit, but then again I'm not versed in the finer points of lore so I won't get in the middle of that. But generally... if Oblivion can have painted worlds and dreamworlds and what-not, I'm sure a lore wizard can think up a plausible explanation (maybe with a few tweaks to the idea).

One word: Magicka.

You know those mages... Dream worlds, portals to Oblivion, new creatures, disappearing people... Anything can happen when those mages experiment...

ESPECIALLY when Daedra get involved.

Sorry, but that was being constructive

There's a fine line between being constructive and rudely and outright bashing other peoples' ideas. If you're trying to help, then start off by being respectful to others and by giving them useful direction. I hardly consider a single-line comment like "lore rape" constructive in any way.
