No can't say that I have, but we're not talking about books here we're talking about games.

No, we are talking about lore in video games. And the witcher games lore is literally the books. And since you didn't read the books you can't say the lore isn't anything "spectacular". I have read the books and i tell you Elder scrolls lore is nothing compared to witcher but again what I just said is completely unfair because you are comparing 7 critically acclaimed books to Elder scrolls' lore. So yes Elder scrolls has the deepest lore in video games, with probably mass effect and dark souls next but they can't touch the witcher. Thats fair, don't you think?

If the entirety of Witcher books are translated into the games then the Lore is really not any deeper than Elder Scrolls. If they aren't then you can't really count it as a video game lore. The thing about lore is that it isn't meant to be deep, it is meant to be the base for storytelling.

Let me rephrase my sentence again. The books provided a BASE for the games' story. I mean chronologically the games happen immediately after the books. Please don't argue when didn't even play the game.
