You're acting like gnostic elements are anything other than recontextualizing christianity. So in essence it's one step away from being Catholic. You only need a Catholic fan to make it fully Christian.

It’s gon’ be shit. RPG elements are dead. Point and shoot bows and arrows, make your own towns and talk to proc generated npcs for all time.
This is bethesda now. They cannot go back.mourn the franchise.

Why would you care about the lore of a game setting where the developers shit on it every time something gets hard to make? The next TES will literally be Skyrim again, but with less snow. Same generic land, generic "cities", barely any lore followed.

>What very interesting lore did TES have before BS/Redguard/Morrowind era?
In Arena, nothing really.
In Daggerfall, a giant dwarven mecha and exiting the physical world thru a secret dungeon for the final quest. Nothing too extravagant, but it's neat.
Battlespire did change everything though.
It also depends on what you mean by "interesting". Summoning rituals for demons on specific days of the year is not something found in many other RPG games. There was supposed to be a prostitution guild, but it was dropped even though the artwork is in Daggerfall files.

That's because the Nords were more culturally integrated with the Empire, by then.. In Oblivion, we see the Imperial Cult "evangelizing" the Nords, with the shaky understanding of the connection between the dragon "Ysmir" and Akatosh.
The lore was obviously written by people with understanding in mythology and ancient religion. This sort of cycling syncretism and drift was more apparent in illiterate cultures interacting with literate ones.
It's not too different from prechristian Europe. The Romans tended to see various neighbors as possessing the same gods, at times, because they were distantly related to their neighbors (who were Indo-Europeans). So you see these strong connections between Zeus, Jupiter, and even figures the Norse religion, though the later in history and farther in region things change (like the Northern Europeans adopting Odin and putting him at the head of the pantheon).
