Word of God? I never saw that. I thought the "divine skin" thing was just reigning fan theory.

As far as Ive understood it, its not.

...i thought that was the dragons' job?

seriously, people... you cant just throw in ideas that dont make any sense.

as interesting as the dwemer are, they're one of the BIGGEST mysteries in TES... if they take that mystery away, we'll have alot less to talk about.

if they ever do come back, i'd rather wait until bethesda has the time to dedicate a whole sequel to their return, not just throw it in as an expansion for skyrim or whatever.

what do you want... a few-hour long quest that makes the dwemer's return nothing all that grand, or wait until someday when an entire game can be devoted to it?

also, they'd need another huge mystery to replace the mystery of the dwemer with, otherwise we'd be losing more than we gain, i think.

If they ever bring them back... I'll take that as the time to walk away.

It would depend HUGELY on what is going on. But I'm inclined to agree.

I think people just want a psuedo LoTR...

Actually, I believe they were wiped off the face of the earth. Something about them pissing off the gods when using the heart.

It just so happens that 'this is what happened' was all the dwemer did, indeed, become the golden skin of the Numidium, save for Yagrum.

This was during when the forums were ancient (sometime after Morrowind). I believe the quote is buried very deep in the lore section, but I've lost it twice now.

lulwut?

Why would the gods care?

[censored], these are the same people who demanded dragons and marriage.

We're doomed.

Also, the final report to Treb wasn't the WoG moment, a dev did literally go on the forum and spilled the beans.

hmmm, I really doubt that is going to happen

Oh god...

Nobody really knows exactly what happened to the dwarves (I love how mysterious, ambiguous, and conflicted TES's historical accounts are). Either way, you've got TEN RACES. For crying out loud, thats more than most games give you. Just pick one.

Regardless, "Final Report to Trebonius" is officially what happened. Cool. I always thought the entire race zero-summed out.

That's it, should I start a DLC thread?

I wish I could dig up the quote...well no I don't, as I dig up enough stuff for people as is, but last I found it, if I remember correctly, it was a quote from MK of a quote from a previous dev, when both were devs at the time.

To summaries, it pretty much said, "The dwemer were absorbed into the Numidium. Now stop asking this question, we've answered it too much already."

It'd be good if there was somewhere this could be made clear in the actual game.

I wish I could dig up the quote...well no I don't, as I dig up enough stuff for people as is and this one is wedged in a deep and obscure part of the lore section, but last I found it, if I remember correctly, it was a quote from MK of a quote from a previous dev, when both were devs at the time.

10minute double post, wtf?

They weren't really dwarves. They were no shorter than elves.

They ARE elves .
Altmer.
Dunmer.
Dwemer.
Bosmer.

Internet go boom

The Dwemer were about the same height as humans.

so you want bring dwarves to skyrim? they have the same common with dinosaurs. they're extinct.

except if you're name is John Hammond...

Interesting, I never thought of this
