Are there gonna be any way that there might be added guns in Skyrim? Not a gun like a M16 Carbine, but those wooden rifles from the old days?
I've heard about that you can dual wield weapons in Skyrim, so it could be cool if you could have a rifle, then a sword in the other hand. Then you can try fiddling around with bows or guns, and see which fits you most?

No there will be no guns, no real reason to have guns. Skyrim at this time is supposed to seem more barbaric and simple than Cyrodiil was 200 years earlier. Besides, we have bows and magic that take it's place.

Bottom Line-No guns of any kind

Doesn't fit in the Elder Scrolls at all ...

The search button is at the top right of the screen. Use it to find the 8000 other topics on guns and the multitudes of "No" replies such questions get.

Elder Scrolls needs more guns.
Alternatively, play Interplay's I mean Black Isle's i mean Bethesda's franchise Fallout.

NO.

There will be magical energy boomsticks from Oblivion again, but now you can akimbo them for maximum damage, think about guns from Fallout 3 shaped into crude wooden stick, so there will be guns but "in not traditional sense", you still need something else?. :tongue:

I'll only accpet crossbows, nothing more.

Forums these days atleast the first answerer posted in a seemingly kind and civilised manor.

"please die" joke or not it isn't something to be taken lightly. "U MAD" etc

I thought we should help new people not try to crucify them and chase them away.

It doesn't fit in TeS , TeS is a high magicial world ... Now I know there are traces of Steampunk in TeS, but not 'guns' the Dwemer where pretty steampunk and the like but where punished by the Gods for being that ... (rude said) ...

There are no guns in Oblivion there is no material about guns, there are no guns lore wise , so If they introduce guns in TeS it would be pretty lore breaking if you ask me .... Not even because there are 200 years gone ...

According to me Tamriel should been in some sort of 'dark ages' right now after the Glorieus Septim line died out.

Too bad you didn't do this as a poll, you would quickly see how much crap guns are. Cross bows would be ok, but guns NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
:flame: :brokencomputer: :banghead: :verymad: Why would guns improve anything, loads of games have guns, go play Fallout if you want an RPG with guns, leave Elder Scrolls as a fantasy game with good old swords and magic

So to sum up.... NO guns ever!

ok everyone stop tormenting this was probably his first post.. To the OP when you post a topic there is a search function on the forumns. Search the forumns to see of the topic exists if it does then comment on already existing ones. If you have kind of the same topic but a little twist on the idea sure go ahead and post it but be ready there are some pretty..straight forward..people here and as you can see they have strong opinions. the reason people are mad is because there is a history that is literally written for this game and no where in the lore does it support guns. Also if you have magic then it makes guns kind of stupid and this game takes place on planet Nirn not earth so the same rules don't apply. Nirn doesn't have electricity because it has magic and stuff like that. Most people are usually very nice i am sorry some people gave you a rude awakening. i was new a little while ago and i had some questions on what stuff meant but i was too afraid to ask so in case you don't know here you go
OP= original poster..you
DEVS=developers at bethesda game studios
BGS=bethesda game studios..

Any other questions just ask

He made a thread yesterday asking about multiplayer. No, there will not be guns and there will not be multiplayer.

I am not supporting the idea because I DO NOT WANT GUNS EVER but being "devils advocate" there is no reason why guns need to be mentioned in lore before their apperance, it's not like magic or anything, it's a mechanical object that could quite easily be invented and although there is no electricity in Nirn guns don't require electric, all you need is a confined air tight space, a trigger (piece of slate and steel to create spark), with explosive power at one end (ignited by spark) and a metal pellet. That would give you a primitive musket and all of them things are quite acheivable even with the primitive technology in the Elder Scrolls universe.

I AM IN NO WAY SUPPORTING GUNS THEY WOULD BE CRAP JUST POINTING OUT A FEW THINGS

P.S. NO GUNS

but he is a layman.. that means he has less than ten posts.. i didn't know there was a search function ethier until a long time after.. all though first multiplayer then guns.. sounds like fable would be the game for him

obviously people in skyrim could make a gun lol but who would want to when you can shoot lighting and fire from your finger tips :celebration: i know you arent for guns just saying

gonna assume you're new and dont know much, if anything, about the elder scrolls lore...

well, have a http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg

try to be a little more careful with the questions you ask, people here are pretty touchy when it comes to the lore.

try visiting these sites and read up on the lore, its quite alot to learn, but its very interesting.

Guns DO NOT belong in the TES series!

I've suggested this before.

I see only one instance where guns'd be congruent with magic.
Say a sect existed that opposed the use of magic for religious reasons - and I can name at least one major religious group existing today who fits this description. Of course only a very small minority would do it and would have to be weaved into the lore.

Those people would eventually develop guns such as riffles and so forth.

NO, NO. NO!

Nope. It simply does not fit the setting. It fits better in something like Fable. If you really want guns, you can download a mod that adds them. People start topics about this all the time. Guns will never be in TES as long as the current team is in charge.

Mehrunes Dagon would approve.

I will gladly accept a crossbow to reign down an apocalypse of arrows down on my enemies. On topic: We all know that the TES games has gaps in between each other, advancing in time and technology, meaning that we'll eventually get to use of guns one way or another. (unless that is a meteor hits Tamriel and wipes out most races, and survivors turn into barbaric cavemen)

Why? If magic can mimic technology in any aspect (sometimes even better)
Why they need technology?
Planes? They have levitation.
Cars? Just fortify speed.
Guns? Enchanted bows and crossbows can deliver same damage.
Body armor? Armor with shield enchantment.
Hell, mages can teleport, create fire, ice or electricity in their hand.

I dare you, say at least one thing that technology can, but magic can't do.
