Skyrim Return of Dwarves?

Post » Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:28 pm

No lore to confirm that just so you know.



Actually, there is. Sort of. Not exactly golden skin of Numidium, as such.

Check the link I gave in my last post :)

how hard would it to explain why there back..not very hard at all. I think they should add them

That would be terrible. It would completely destroy the mystery and interest.

Morrowind had dwemer ghosts and a dwemer, and I really want to know what happened to them they just disapeared, maybe the last dwemer migrated to Skyrim


The last Dwemer was in Divayth Fir's http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Yagrum_Bagarn.

You have to admit though they do resemble the sort of stereotypical Dwarf. And it's Fantasy, you can't look at it wrong.

Not really, I mean they are just as tall as humans, maybe even taller. They are really, actually elves or mer. The only thing they have in common is they have beards (which anyone can have) and they like to make mechanical contraptions and advanced armor (which anyone can do)

Well... he's right. You can tell when fighting their ghosts that they're quite tall.

It's not an opinion, it's deeply rooted in ES lore.

So the game is "post a nonsensical reply"? Ooh, let me play!

2 cups masa, (see Note)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, preferably Mexican
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2-2 1/2 cups water, divided
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 pound raw shrimp, (see Note), peeled, deveined and chopped
1 1/8 cups Three Sisters Black Mole, (recipe follows)
Three Sisters Black Mole
1/2 cup peanuts
1/4 cup whole almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cinnamon stick
1 corn tortilla, cut in 8 wedges
4 large guajillo, New Mexico or California chiles, (about 1 ounce; see Note)
3 large dried mulato or ancho chiles, (about 1 1/2 ounces; see Note)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small or 1 large white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 ounces Mexican chocolate, (see Note), roughly chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup tomato sauce, or 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 cups vegetable broth

. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put a kettle of water on to heat for the water bath. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Whisk masa, oregano, baking powder, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add 2 cups water and beat with an electric mixer until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Add oil and butter. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and continue beating, scraping down the sides, for 4 minutes more.
3. Spread half the batter in the prepared baking dish. Evenly scatter shrimp on top, then cover with the remaining batter, smoothing it evenly to the sides. Place the baking dish in a larger pan, transfer to the oven and pour boiling water into the larger pan to about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Cover both pans with a piece of foil. Bake until set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Serve each portion with 2 tablespoons Three Sisters Black Mole, or to taste.
Tips:
Notes: Masa is ground dried corn treated with lime, sometimes called masa harina or instant masa mix; it is used for making tamales and tortillas. Look for it near flour or in the international section of supermarkets or at Mexican grocers.
Shrimp is usually sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, "21-25 count" means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as "large" or "extra large," are not standardized. In recipes calling for a specific count, order by the count (or number) per pound to be sure you're getting the size you want.
To peel shrimp, grasp the legs and hold onto the tail while you twist off the shell. Save the shells to make a tasty stock: Simmer, in enough water to cover, for 10 minutes, then strain. The "vein" running along a shrimp's back (technically the dorsal surface, opposite the legs) under a thin layer of flesh is really its digestive tract.
To devein shrimp, use a paring knife to make a slit along the length of the shrimp. Under running water, remove the tract with the knife tip.
Three Sisters Black Mole
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds, cinnamon stick and tortilla wedges on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, being careful to not burn the sesame seeds, 10 to 20 minutes.
3. Wearing gloves, remove the stems, seeds and inner ribs from the chiles and tear the chiles into large pieces.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chile pieces, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the chiles are fragrant and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the toasted ingredients and cook, stirring constantly, until the onion begins to brown, being careful not to burn the chiles or nuts, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate, tomato sauce (or tomatoes), salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
5. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard. Puree the sauce in a blender (in 3 batches) until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.)
Tips:
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
Notes: Mildly spicy dried chiles, such as ancho, guajillo, New Mexico, mulato and California chiles, are used to add moderate heat and a rich flavor to sauces, soups and stews. Find them in the produce section of large supermarkets or online at melissas.com.
Mexican chocolate is a mixture of dried toasted cacao, sugar and Mexican cinnamon. Ibarra and Abuelita are popular brands. Or substitute 1 ounce semisweet chocolate plus 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon per ounce of Mexican chocolate.

Dwarves are Dwemer, which are Mer(Elves) just like Dunmer, Bosmer, & Altmer. They aren't short little men in this universe.

Opinion! Just because there was a dwarf in the Corprusarium doesn't mean that he was the last one. I still hold the belief that some dwarves escaped to an outer realm. <--- Also opinion :rofl:

EDIT: *Dwemer*

I hope they include some sort of back story on how they dissapeared etc..

Some things are better left a mystery so as to provide an interesting story.

Beth hasn't always been the perfect lover when it comes to creating Lore friendly stories, but once the game is out, the Lore is changed whether we complain about it or not. If they want to bring back the dwemer, then fine. I just hope that if they're including Dwemer ruins in Skyrim then they include other types of ruins as well so that it isn't just "In this game, the Dwemer are the vanished race" after the Ayleid, the Falmer, and the MW Dwemer. I have a feeling that if they Dwemer ever do return they will look an awful lot like Snow White's friends rather than whatever they're supposed to be in the Lore. Beth is trying to go mainstream and catch all those instant action junkies. The new gamers won't understand why the dwarves are tall and not Scottish.

technically there is alot of lore about them and their dissapearence. All that is really missing is a "They dissapeared because of THIS" type of thing which is unnecessary imo. There are a ton of theories presented in the lore anyway...
@jimbabway, then they will just have to call them dwemere instead of dwarves wont they?

The problem is that people call the Dwemer "Dwarves" which understandably infers that they are squat. If the Dwemer where never compared to or meant to be like "dwarves" there wouldnt be this issue.

What does TES lore have 10 of??

Races for one.

Release date 11 11 11. Hmmmmmmm????

Add one more race and you have 11

What 2 other things does TES have 10 of?? Not very lore knowledgeable myself, but add 2 more devines and you have 11 there too.

See where I'm going with this one??

11 11 11 must have some significance don't you think???


Yeah, 10 playable races confirmed in GI article and in Todd Howard interview if I recall correctly. Not saying a dwemer might not appear, but not playable as someone below you mentioned, you just had the point of 10+1, which I was responding to.

They won't add alive dwarves/dwemer, but rather what's left of their civilization! Like in Morrowind!

I always wondered why my big burly Nord fit so well into Dwemer armour if they were a squat race.

No. dwarves are long gone, and will probably never make a physical appearance as a species again. Maybe one or two and the species' creation, but no actual return of the species. Ever.
Especially after almost everyone else was like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWweqP_ZWbg
