Been meaning to ask you where your signature quote comes from. Google only led me to Reddit.

Unleashing him on the Imperial Legion would result in dead legionaires. I still feel Doom and TES have nothing in common beyond using their own versions of demons. Forcing Doom's demons into the Oblivion Crisis is a very bad idea. TES is currently getting a lot of stuff retconned and not all of it is recieved well. The outrage of Doom being in TES would be a lot. Mods, however, are best for crossovers. We've had MachoDragons, Thomas the Dragons etc..
Lore of the two franchises are completely different and well, Zenimax is under a bit of fire for their way of handling it in ESO. Trying to merge parts of Doom and TES would be a nightmare. Both are not really suitable.

The SheoDovah wrote:It wouldn't work well due to Mortal Kombat's different settings. Scorpion and Subzero could fit into TES due to magic being a viable handwave. Same with Raiden(Massively depowered and not a god though) but the characters are a major pick and mix of sci-fi/fantasy. The realms could fit into TES(Mainly the fantasy based settings). But Mortal Kombat is a fighting game and rarely, do fighting games translate well into other genres.
I do feel that TES is more or less self contained and crossovers are hard to do without it being a standard Magic did it or different realm and magic reason. Cameos, things like the Dovahcore add-on works as they are just minor but welcome crossovers that don't require any explaining. Entire games? It is hard to pull off imo.

The SheoDovah wrote:I agree for fighting games, that crossovers can be justified as it's just that, fighting game. But TES and Doom are not compatible. TES has it's own self contained universe. Doom, Wolfesentein,Quake and Rage are all first person shooters that aren't known for it's lore. TES is one of the iconic franchises that has it's own evolving lore.

Elder Scrolls would gain nothing by merging with Fallout or Doom. It would dilute the lore of all universes without any gain. Put creative energy into making the world's better instead of making gimmicky decisions about the company games.
It would be as terrible as Marvel and Star Wars indicating they were a shared universe. It would make each one worst. It's simply meta thinking and anti immersive.

So what's so bad about including more slipstream dimensions that the Fallout, Doom, etc. universes could exist in beyond the boundaries of Mundus? It's totally possible for two franchises to exist in the same universe, but still be allowed to do their own thing.
