Hmm that's a fair argument but I've persony liked magic but not really the pure Mage bit, so I thought it would be cool if there where more ways for a non Mage it tacal magic and this as a dwemer artifact seems suiting honestly I know how it looks but if you new the ideas behind the gun and it had appeared in morrowind in a dwemer temple no one would bat an eyelid, being a single player game I don't believe balance is a beall endall it's persontal taste and choice that goven ur playing and if not unless all ur looking for s a power trip your playing the game wrong. But if in fairness you thought it needed balance any magic acts performed by not magical ppl web be weaker, the caster allows a pure alchemist the chance to fire powerful spells with help of the caster a bow and arrow still need enchanting.


Dwemers are no more. And as far as we know, they liked to work with mechanics, not with magic.

About gameplay, then mages should be able to wear and be good with heavy armors and two-handed weapons... If non-mages can do what a mage can do... why shouldn't a mage be able to do what a non-mage can do? In adittion, you don't have to have enchanment to have magicak weapons, enemies loot it.

Guns have never been in the game. And a magical gun would be... even worse. And unfair.

Magic is not for everyone but it power should be, of dwelmer origins a powerful artifact used by those with lesser magical power but the skill to use it I present the Caster;

I don't want a gun-staff, and magic is for everyone, you can cast spells all the time, it's not a gift you are born with like in Dragon Age and other games.

But mages can use armour and non mages can use magic they are just not ad good as it, just don't understand this predjudis the dwemer ovoiusly had both to make robot golems and automated systems so they use magic to power it, and there mech skill to build the trigger mech. Why we can't have a staff that doesn't look so cliche lol. I no ppl don't want guns but we are not talking ak47 it's a one of artifact lol from a long dead civilisation not a gold ak erupted by every Banndit, you have alfallen into the trap of being unable to except some one elses ideas no one has said they don't like it in there opinion they have brought up farsical reason and shot down other I really don't want guns bit I think as o have described fits seamlessly in the game world and all the abuse and unessery remarks would make great anolytical data for a class of psychology students. Be more respectfully, don't bring up erelevent points like uss enterprise or cars it's not even close you snip don't bother typing if you don't actuly have a point, 'No' is not a point. Oh and don't pick ppl up on spelling or grammar unless you don't understand not everyone speak multi languages.

Just like how mages aren't good with weapons, if you want to be good at something you have to train the skill, i don't ask for a magic blade thing (lightsaber) because blades arent for everyone. :starwars: :gun:

A staff is always a staff.
A spoon is always spoon.
Do you want a spoon with the shape of a gun?
Then, why do you want a staff with the shape of a gun?

It's not cliche. It's common sense...

Jucsrerpostion I've already been told dweller robots are golems So they ether love magic or science either way there would have made a magic bow without a string ie dudhduhdudhduh a gun.... Stop with the terrable comparisons they are not even close snip oh and the dwemer have magic powerplants. As it's stated there stuff only works within the ruins.



They could have made a gun, magical or otherwise, just as they could have made a nuclear device or whatever else. Problem is how much it fits with the game most people want to play, I think most people don't want guns in there, magical or otherwise.

Dwemer machinery is steam powered, I don't see how you can fire a bullet properly with steam.

I thought Dwemers were more focused in science than magic.



Dwemers are no more. And as far as we know, they liked to work with mechanics, not with magic.

Guys, the Dwemer were excellent magisters. You're completely missing the point if you think their merely the settings steampunk tech users. One of the dwemer, Kargenac, built wraithguard, Keening, and Sunder to harness the power of Lorkhan's divine spark, and the tools were based upon the Dwemer magical practice of Tonal Architecture. Numidium's skin is composed of the souls of the Dwemer race, and was meant to take them back to the first brush stroke of Anu and Padomay. Their accomplishments with magic far surpass anything that, say, the mages guild has accomplished.

I wonder if they have flame throwers.

I'd like to fight a dwemer golem like creature thats shoot fire out its arm or mouth.

Something akin to one of Davinci's designs that require oil and had to be hand pumped.

This wouldn'tbe usable by the player, but mechanized sentinal flame throwers...

I know it's not a gun, but it looks like one, and thats the main problem for me, if it was a fork than channeled magic I would love it.

If it LOOKS like a gun and it SHOOTS like a gun (regardless of what it shoots or how it does it) then it's a [censored] GUN. No matter how you try to rationalize it and integrate it into lore, it doesn't fit and never will. Get over it.

It indeed works, all you need is a lot of steam, this should raise the pressure in the chamber to a very high level, once you release the pressure, the bullet is launched. It works just like an airsoft gun or paintball gun, but instead of using air to create pressure, it utilizes steam.

Still, this is too sci-fi-ish for a fantasy game. Just stop requesting this already, please. It does not fit at all!
