Is there any chance to see in Skyrim Dwemers-made stuff?

I have little doubt that weapons and armor will make yet another return as they are ingrained into TES mythos as much as Ebony and Deadric.

As far as ruins and artifacts I have doubts (yet still possible since the Dwemer had an extensive city system in the Velothi Mountains {bordering Skyrim and Morrowind}). This was played extensively in TESIII and Redguard.

While it made perfect sense for there to be no Dwemer ruins in Oblivion, they were still a setting from Morrowind that I really missed. Even if there will only be a few of them in the Velothi Mountains bordering Morrowind, that would be awesome.

YES!!!

Yup - and if there's a Dwemer city, we should expect Dwarven ruins... and Dwarven loot :celebration:

YES!!!

I hope we'll at least get to see some Dwemer architecture and maybe a Dwemer ghost/centurion :mellow:

Watch video 2. There's concept art of Dwemer architecture.

I don't see why it wouldn't make the cut.

Dwemer aren't short

So, actually the evidence is looking quite positive for some dwemer related stuff to be in

. Oh the joy *dances*

Pretty awesome. I wonder if it's Riften? Being that it's right on the border with Morrowind.

It shows many pieces of concept art and promotional materials from their past games, it doesn't mean it's from Skyrim.

Haha for some reason I found that quest one of the hardest in morrowind I swear I must have been blind I just could never find it. It would be nice to see it in Skyrim, even if its just a easter egg type entry.

but looking at the concept art- we dont get our bronze hallways and completely alien architecture back

bronze halls would have been so cool in morrowind if they looked bronze and shiney

YES!!!

i.e. it's already confirmed there will be Dwemer related content.

Notice how he made note that with their lore, they try to make it mostly said in game so that they could be wrong and can make changes later. And he said this right after/before (forget) talking about the Dwemer. Maybe this means we will hear some Dwemer retconing or more secrets revealed.

Maybe the Dwemers predicted that Morrowind would get destroyed and hid in another realm to wait until everything else died out so they could take it for themselves? :flamed: I fully expect them to reappear in some TES game.

I want another Puzzle Box

I didn't play the Morrowind MQ for a long time after getting the game. However, I had heard a lot about a mysterious Dwemer puzzle box and its elusiveness. I found it within two minutes of being in the ruin and I didn't have any directions.

I felt like a god that day.

I also found it rather quickly.
But I didn't feel like a god.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvpoR7knnI0&t=6m48sof the Road to Skyrim: The Todd Howard Interview - Part 2 Video Todd talks about how epic cities that have been carved out by dwarves long ago that these guys [Nords] have moved into. Plus in the GI article it talks about expansive dungeons and ruins, I don't think it would be a stretch to perceive these as Dwemer. Of course I have hope for some Falmer ruins as well. It is Skyrim after all.

Puzzle Box is actually pretty easy if you just know what door to take. I think people had difficulty with Arkngthand because it was usually their first big dungeon in the game. Lots of rooms, a couple of early inaccessible areas, lots of enemies, etc. Usually you find it via process of elimination, but some folks just never checked the second floor.

I'm pretty excited to see the return of Dwemer architecture. Even if we aren't scouring their ruins for gems and dinnerware it's nice to see more variety.

seriously though- i want metal coridors made of a bronze coloured material, and totaly wacky rooftops and buildings

You've just got to lower your expectations a little. You wouldn't believe the celebrations when I win a game of NFS.
