Like meeting queen ayrenn and getting to know her as a character and then playing skyrim and seeing what the aldmeri dominion actually became is genuinely heartbreaking. Especially given how hopeful she was that she was creating something that would better her people as well as tamriel as a whole. You get to see towards the end of the dominion quest in eso what happens to the khajiit, bosmer, and altmer if the dominion fails, and you get to see ayrenn specifically grieving the death of something she put her entire heart and soul into. Then the quest ends on a hopeful note and it's implied that that future won't come to pass, but playing other games you see how little difference it made.
