Update from the MC Forum:
"There seems to be some (understandable) confusion in regards to where the lawsuit is coming from. To clarify, "Bethesda Softworks" (publisher and developer of game titles) and "Bethesda Game Studios" (Creators of games like Oblivion, Skyrim etc.) are not the same entity. BGS is an in-house game-making team led by Todd Howard which is one part of Bethesda Softworks, and has no direct connection to the lawsuit in progress by Bethesda Softworks. Unless further specified by the acronym "BGS", any references to Bethesda in the following article assume "Bethesda Softworks". Sorry about the confusion!"

ummm wtf is a bethseda

[Man 2]

Come to think of it, there is hardly any scrolls in the game itself.

In TES?
The Elder Scrolls are the plot device in all the games around which the events revolve. They predict the events, and become set into the scroll when the predicted event occurs.
They predicted the opening of the Oblivion gates, the breaking of the Staff of Chaos, the civil war in Skyrim, the coming of Alduin World-Eater, etc.
