Dwarfs : V - Skyrim

» Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:47 am

Just found a screenshot of a guy working on a http://skyrimguild.com/could-the-dwemer-be-making-a-comeback-in-skyrim/. Anyone else seen this?

That is part of the video series, "Sounds of Skyrim" as part of Game Informer's coverage on Skyrim back in January.

I like dwarfes but it would be kinda weird seeing them in Skyrim, and not Oblivion Morrowind etc

When did that happen? Was it in a book in Oblivion or something? I must have missed that! :sad:

It happened at some point during Infernal City I think, the Ministry of Truth came crashing down since the power of the Tribunal that held it up there had long since dwindled. In fact during the last years it was being held in place by something else altogether, some soul furnace I believe.

The devs could easily introduce a lost civilation of dwemer, with an explanation of how they escaped the destruction that befell all the others. The lamest explanation would be better than the in game one they came up with for removal of levitation.

Will they do it though, pretty doubtful.

But they DO degrade, or else they wouldn't need to be repaired. How can modern craftsman replicate the dwemer smithing techniques to repair them anyway?

The material doesn't corrode or degrade due to time. It is unreplicatable but not unworkable, so if you have suit of dwemer armor it could be repaired, provided you had the pieces.

Well was it 100% confirmed they were all dead? I never read much of any of the books, but this is what i took out of Morrowind:

*Spoiler alert
- The Dwemer pissed off a god for creating an abomonation that gave mortals the power of gods, so the god made all the dwarves in Tamriel disappear
- Yagrum was on another continent, so he didn't disappear, and he spent his whole life in vain looking for another dwarf.
- They mentioned a possibility that the dwemer have been "misplaced" somewhere else by the gods (but in tribunal it looks like they got turned to ash/exterminated)

So, I'm obviously not a lore-master, but it seems that some dwarves might still be alive on another continent, or perhaps they were swept away to another plain of existence.

i forget if the spirit of Radac Stungnthumz cleared up any of this info.

It is believed that the dwemer were transformed into the body of the Nuimidium by Kagenrac using the heart of Lorkhan. Yagrum Baram survived because he was in a plane of Oblivion at the time, once he returned he couldn't find any dwemer through the telepathic link all of them shared. The fact that the Dwemer in Hammerfell disappeared as well is strong evidence that no dwemer remain on Nirn. And yes Nirn is a spherical planet.
Also some of the writers have said that they would like to keep the true fate of the dwemer ambiguous.

Who says they were destroyed? Personally I believe they ascended to a higher state of being. They're gone man, face it. They intentionally removed themselves from Mundus.

okay, thanks for clearing that up. :foodndrink:

I bet the TES writers are gonna fall back on the fate of the Dwemer once they start running out of ideas...

That is very nice. It's a pretty simple concept that the devs can do whatever they want. You may not like it. It's the truth nonetheless.

Let's just hope they'll return in another ES game - OR - an expansion from the First Era.

I do not hope that.

As much as I love the Dwemer and as fun as it sounds to play as a Dwemer, I'd rather hope they'll respect the lore and we'll never ever see Dwemer again.

if they made a game in the 1st era, then they would still be respecting the lore.

Dwemer disappeared around 1E 700 http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dwemer

It shouldn't be a main Elder Scrolls game with a roman numeral though, it should be like redguard... they should make another "Elder Scrolls Adventure"

thanks for clearing this up guys... and on the topic of morrowind i would like to play it ive actually been looking for a copy but i can't find one... the game stop around here doesn't have one so simply going back and playing the game is more difficult then one may think.

I think morrowind is on steam. If you use a PC. And if you want to use steam.

Dwemer are gone and never to return. Would annoy me if they brought them back. it makes no sense to.

If not Amazon always has used and unopened copies available.

They aren't dwarves. They are Dwemer. Please get it straight. And, no, they won't be. The Dwemer disappeared long ago.

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:04 pm

Dwemer are also called dwarves....

but yes people should get it straight if you mean that they aren't your traditional, short dwarves.

Reading the rest of the forum would be helpful to you and broken scale... i have acknowledged the fact that i am wrong and we are already well past that point...

in simple fact if i had the ability i would lock this thread myself already... tbh im surprised its still unlocked

I remember in oblivion that there were always the weapons but never the race... this actually kind of annoyed me. i mean its just strikes me as odd to have the weapon type but not the creator... any thoughts? ^_^

I remember it being clearly explained that the Dwemer vanished. But not their things. It don't take a rocket scientist to figure the rest out. :shrug:

Dwarf was what non mer called them, just like high elves, dark elves, and wood elves. The armor in the game was even called "dwarven".

Please, there are a lot of pages flaming the OP, and he's gotten the answer he wanted/needed. Can't some moderator please close this thread?

I agree to a point. How are all these weapons still around? Are they immune to wear and tear?

Yes. Thats exactly right, as was said twice above you.
