Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era vs Lands of Evershade

Hi everyone!

First post in this subreddit, nice to greet you all!

So the question is quite straightforward. I'm thinking about buying one of the games mentioned. I'm not sure if someone can guide me across their main differences. Things I'm looking for:

  • I really like Gloomhaven and FOTL. I also like Tainted Grail, but I think that my party will be happier with something like Gloomhaven, with more character development and tactical games.
  • I've never been quite interested in Elder Scrolls lore. I enjoyed Skyrim and Oblivion, but I really feel that the lore is... just meh. Not good. Not bad. Just ok. However, I also feel that I know anything about Lands of Evershade. I'm really interested in dark fantasy ambiences, though.
  • I'm really interested in Scoundrels, the side game of Lands of Evershade, that will be focused on thieves (the premise seems interesting). But, until it arrives...
  • If we could play 5 instead of 4, it will be nice, but it's not mandatory.
  • I have heard quite good reviews about Elder Scrolls: BOTSE. Nothing about Lands of Evershade yet.

So... which one would you recommend me? Is there any short review you can give me to understand more about their differences?

Thank you!
