so like 200 hundo years after the medevil time people had guns i think it would be cool if next time skyrim had guns too. magick is kinda dumb anyway its only natual that after some lenght of time theired by some kind of technological devellopment. I mean even if the dwarfs have to come back so that we can get awesome golden flintlock rifles.

and before you [censored] no im not saying i want modern machine guns and stuff like that,i don't want to turn skyrim into CoD, i just mean like flintlocks or maybe even cannons

I won't even bother lol... next skyrim? whats that?

So much fail in one post.

No.

How about no?

How about HELL no?

Closest we'll get is crossbows and even if we did get guns they would be bulky and require a lot of time to reload.

"Where's the money in that?"

Although the idea of Master Neloth with a suit of Tesla Armor and a Plasma Caster fighting against the Akaviri hordes is amusing.

I don't like guns in a fantasy setting, but I would love some napalm. Something like the Greek fire back in medieval times.

why would you want a gun? bows fill that job perfectly fine.

Bows don't kill people - Bosmer with bows kill people.

The TMA (Tamrielic Marksmen Association) have been plugging for stricter Bow laws, and more effective ways of keeping Bows out of the hands of minors.

Crossbows are advanced enough. Flintlocks always feel kinda out of place to me in a fantasy setting.

I don't even know what to say to this...

where they'll find gunpowder anyway?

If they slapped the word "Dwemer" on it, then maybe I'd accept one or two steam-powered guns in a game (don't ask me how that would work, though). Please note that I'm not suggesting that technology should advance to gunpowder level, but rather that we should find ancient artifacts from the only society we know of so far that might have had the gumption to make such a strange and wonderful thing. I am also definitely not suggesting that we bring the Dwemer back.

Overall, though, technology advances when the need for it arises. We have magicka; personal firearms aren't a necessity in this world. Great cannons aren't as important because the Empire (in its many incarnations) has always fielded enough people in the Legions to make up for any lack of technology, and any time the Empire wasn't in charge, the factions that remained were never powerful or rich enough to develop that kind of weaponry. With the rise of the Thalmor, this status quo is changing somewhat, but I would have to guess that the coming Great War will bring about the end of this multi-state conflict before the R&D folks can figure out how to make any gunpowder weapon work. And again, if the R&D folks are looking into superweapons, I'm pretty certain the first place they'd look would be magicka and magicka-related artifacts; unless someone somehow blots out the sun (perhaps a legacy of Dawnguard), there would be no reason for developers to look into more mundane weapons of power.

And as the people above have said, why would you want guns anyway? "magick is kinda dumb anyway" is not a reason, especially since I think guns in this setting are even more so.

They can make it, it's not hard. All you need is a mine that produces sulfur, another mine that produces potassium nitrate (aka saltpeter), and some charcoal. The Chinese were already doing it more than a thousand years ago.

And gunpowder gives you fireworks. Who cares about guns? Imagine fireworks blooming like burning flowers around the ivory stem of White-Gold Tower; fireworks bursting over the golden cantons of Vivec, throwing the Ministry of Truth into gorgeous relief against the night sky; small children running through the streets with their own fizzing sparklers and strings of firecrackers; an unexploded cache of the notoriously fabulous Dwemer fireworks giving an intrepid adventurer pause before a stray spark from their torch leads to their untimely demise...

yes, they can make it. but before that, they must find (invent) it first. they can't make a gunpowder if they have no idea what a gunpowder is. i don't know how invention happens, but i guess i made my point quite clear here.

Ask the cannon masters of the Redguard fleet when gunpowder will be invented.
