Can't blame Skyrim on the lore, Nords are simply the most boring race.
The only interesting lore part is the Arcturian Heresy and it was handled heavy-handedly in the game. Songs of the Return are interesting but there are only 4 out of 56 volumes in the game --- while Kirkbride actually wrote 36 Sermons in Morrowind.
Dragonborn expansion is best part of Skyrim and that was Bloodmoon redux. I did like Dawnguard and that was because of Jiub and Laura Bailey.
