1500's for arqubues.

No thanks
Defnitely crossbows though. They were in earlier TES games and have been found as far back as the 6th century BC in China

Nope

Where's the "burn the OP at the stake" option?

Hey now, easy on the noob, however much he deserves to be slapped, several times.

Bad argument. Gunpowder was in use in China from as early as the 10th century and had made it to Europe by the 13th century. Guns, or at least cannons, were used in the 100 year war which went from about 1337 to 1453

Why? It's a sword and sorcery game. Ain't there enough gun games?

No way.

Crossbows yes. Dual crossbows, No.
Poor OP, didn't stand a chance with this first thread. Where is his Fishy Stick?

It seems that people create accounts and post this stuff just to rile people up.

I just want to know who the three people are that belong in the FO forums.... <_<

Even then the elder scrolls is no truly an TES game if there is guns

Wiki is your friend.

TES does not fit into any historical time period. So to compare it to the Middle Ages is bad to begin with. The fact that it was used as an argument against guns just makes it even worse. Case and point, TES has full plate armor. Guns, or cannon, were in use long before the development of full plate which wasn't developed until the late 14th century.

@Dragonborn1: Yes, it is, though all I really needed wiki for was the specific dates. I knew the time frames well enough already without it.

Yes to crossbows, no to guns.

It's pretty much unanimous, but I have a question... what if the game took place in akaviri?

still no

They don't need guns in a world where they can shoot fire from their hands.

/thread

Well the reason why i compared it to the middle ages is because the idea was from then. I guess the closest one was Oblivion while the others compare a new different world. (morrowind) With weapons in the early middle ages.

Thats a negative ghost rider.

No. Not gonna happen. Guns don't exist on Nirn.

I'd like to first point out I'm anti-guns.

By that logic you wouldn't need any weapons.

It wasn't meant to be a logical argument, just a humorous one

Yes, the crossbow. Sometimes you have to take a silent takedown.

I'd expect the Tong Mo to be based off the saiyans, spikey hair and all, before I'd expect guns in Akaviri.

Now, staffs are pretty much guns all ready. Change the way you hold one and that pretty much is what it is. Not only that, but the ammo for said guns in Morrowind actually recharged. Even in Olivion, the ammo was universal for each staff no matter what kinda effect it shot out. If they give us wands, then we'll have pistols. Staffs are now one handed so it'll be possible to dual wield guns. And if they give us a larger two handed staff...there's you're rocket launcher.

I really don't know why people get up in arm's about guns, when we got the magic equivalent on steroids blasting away at enemies.
