I have a theory that the more lore a franchise has, the more of an autistic fanbase it has. I made a graphic about it. (lemmy.ml)

Ooh, the lore in Elder Scrolls goes way deep. I mean, there are more exotic concepts most know which are not really discussed in games like Lunar Lattice, Godhead and CHIM, but if you dig deeper, you're in for a real ride. Most of it goes way over my head, but concepts like time travel and AI from the future, Amaranth, and lastly, the Elder Scroll themselves about which Septimus Signus made simplified, but not inaccurate, in-game comments, are much discussed topics among the deep lore fandom. Plus all the more mundane stuff behind the scenes--dreughs, ayleids, Akavir and it's many inhabitants, sloads, Hist and their origin (discussed in Infernal City/Lord of Souls, but more questions raised than answers given. Hint: the Sleeping Tree is related to Hist and the rumor Ysolda dismisses as "nonsense" is literally true.) etc.

You could write a heavy tome about the history and deeds of the Dunmer people alone, let alone all the other events that happen(ed) in that universe.

In Elder Scrolls, those books are already built into the games.

Just did an 8 hour shift playing Factorio instead of working. Should get my self checked out.

Mlp, minecraft and pokemon should be all the way to the right and among us should be little more to the right. Other than that, spot on.

This is X-Philes erasure, and I won't stand for it.

[-] HeavenAndHell@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sonic should be way, way higher.

D&D is not because of the Lore its because of crunching numbers!!! (my autistic friend who lives P&P in General and also love to optimize his Charakters)

Star Trek has a large autistic fanbase? I mean I know we're a bunch of nerds but...

missing the bioncle lore or maybes its so high up its off screen lmfao

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I feel like AT should be higher up. I've seen some crazy serious discussions about characters who say "what the bjork" 4 times an episode.

So why has Factorio less lore and more autists?

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think its more depth and emergent gameplay intruigue autistic people. Lore is a type of depth people can enjoy so games with it make the world more interesting to explore. But also complex mechanics also work for the same reasons.

Dwarf Fortress is probably a good example of this.

As an IDW comics enjoyer, I love Sonic the Hedgehog being on this graph.

That is all.

For the Emperor!!!

Anyone else feel like this is just a map of holes to fall into? I'm looking forward to that Kirby one...

Not pictured: FFXVI. Shits got so much lore packed in it, the game literally has a special pause button to read its own Wikipedia of what's on screen so you're not completely lost. Even the devs of the game admitted they didn't fully understand all the lore.
