Not necessarily. I like lord of the rings tropes. If they have enough original shit (the elder scrolls definitely DOES) then I'd 100% forgive the writers throwing in some homages to the granddaddy of all high fantasy.
it's just magic, they can make any of this shit up because it's a fantasy world it dosen't have to make sense like gravity in minecraft. without it something like Hobbit or Bible would be much more boring
Well you see, in fantasy writing, what some are going to do is take something normal like "spiders in a cold basement" then make it exaggerated "giant spider in a frozen landscape."
