Do You Actually Read the Lore Books in Games?

-

I’m curious how many of you actually take the time to read lore books and tomes you find in games like ESO. I’ve read a few and some are pretty intriguing, but usually, I just open them up and instantly close them. What’s your approach to these in-game texts? Do you dive deep into the stories or just skim through them?

Not really my thing. If a game isn’t fully voice acted, I struggle to sit through text. I’m all about audiobooks these days. If there’s a way to have them read out loud in-game, I’d totally be down for that!

AudiobookLover -

There’s a podcast out there that does lore readings! Could check that.

AccessibilityWizard -

You should look into accessibility options—might help with that!

NotAReader123 -

Honestly, I don’t read much unless it’s quest-related. I’m more of an action player, and sometimes I just don’t have the patience to sit and read, especially during intense questing.

SpeedRunner888 -

I feel you on that! Questing can get pretty hectic.

ChattyScholars -

Exactly! I tend to stick to lore books that stand out or catch my eye.

LoreSeekerX -

I try to read every book I can in ESO and Skyrim. They really add to the lore and make the world feel richer. Especially in ESO, I love how the LoreBooks addon enhances the experience.

CursoryReader88 -

Agreed! That addon really makes it easier to keep track of everything.

LoreBuff5000 -

Definitely! Plus, it helps flesh out the quests more.

TolkienFanatic1000 -

Yes! I’m a massive fan of lore and treat every RPG as a rich story experience. I may not remember every detail, but I enjoy the humor and depth that the books add to the game. Plus, there’s some truly funny stuff hidden within those pages!

RPGJunkie42 -

Right?! I love how they weave in comedy with the serious stuff.

EpicLoreDude -

For sure! It makes the world feel so much more alive.

LoreExplorer99 -

Honestly, I try to read every book I can find, especially when they tie into quests. Some of them boost my skills too, which is a nice bonus! But yeah, there are definitely books that just don’t catch my attention right away and get closed instantly.

QuestNerd123 -

Totally get that! If a book looks interesting at first glance, I’m more likely to stick with it.

BookWormGaming -

Same here! I love finding those little lore nuggets while exploring.
