Remember when one of the Bethesda guys tried to connect lore by saying the MC of 4 was in the opening video of 1 where an unarmed guy gets executed?

Behold the lore and despair!

And it didn't even work with the timeline.

one of the Bethesda guys

The modern Bethesda writer, Emil Pagliano. He's the lead/only writer on all their most recent games, like Starfield.

This is why the spinoffs managed by different teams, like FO76 and ESO, are much better written than their mainline slop where Todd and Emil pursue their shared unseasoned-mashed-potato vision and create the blandest only-vibes-no-coherent-worldbuilding slop.
