I have Skyrim in my depressingly large backlog but that's as close as I have come I know the pain! My tower of games-to-be-played-someday is probably taller than me... and I still can't persuade myself to stop buying games and book (le sigh).
Re: TES Background figures are more easter-eggs/lore level, I think - they're not relevant to mine story, unless in some distant "they were the political figure behind event X" way. Political&historical events&figures have some impact throughout all games, but the main characters and the plots are different.
Comparing to KOTOR, the games in TES series are definitely much less connected - more like SW's EU series, I think. There's basically one universe and the universe shares the history, mythology etc., so big events from game X would be mentioned in another part of the series, but the installment Y itself would be usually about something totally different and with different characters - and there's no "main plot" connecting all these parts.
Either way is fine with me - keeping them all in one fandom tag would spare me wondering "how should I nominate the diety, which plays the most important part in game C, but, as a diety, is of course mentioned and worshipped in all other games, too, and I'm interested in particular in its relationship with X, and we are told about it in game D" or similar problems. ;) But I can easily imagine that someone more interested in main stories, not lore, would prefer to have all canons separated - so I feel it would be a little unfair to insist on 'one tag to rule them all' solution.
I'll have to think (or play) Avengers Academy as on the one hand it sounds pretty crack-tastic, but on the other I don't want a situation where this becomes an avenue to allow people to request the MCU at large, for example.
I understand! Personally, I feel MCU-fying it would be rather hard (characters are eternal teenagers, their relationships and adventures look very different etc.), but I guess there's no limit to people's... resourcefulness, sometimes.
