if you dont understand the question tell me and ill explain would it be midevil times or something

...


It's an entirely different time scale...entirely different universe...

I think the question is "If Morrowind was to be looked at as taking place at some point of human history, what would be the most likely time frame for it?" As in, would it be like it takes place within the Dark Ages, Midevil, Modern, Anchient, etc. In that case I'd say yes, Midevil or Dark Ages sound about right.

OMG.

Another extremly intellectual thread made by aceisking!
Praise be the light!

You can't measure TES-timeline like that. It does not take place in our world, and it is beyond our labels.

:facepalm:

Yes that failed editing noq.

it sounds right, but when you throw Dwemer into the mix, and then consider that the mortal plane was once part of Oblivion in the Mythic Era, it just makes no comparison possible to real-life stages.

Maybe if you look at it like in terms of available technology (not count the dwemer) as well as the political thought, it seems a lot to me like Rome if it had been allowed to extend further into the dark ages like mentioned.

Hmm, i agree that the question does not make much sense.

However, is it not possible, that Nirn IS earth, and that TES is happening in the far, far future or the far, far past? That nirn is just what the civilization of TES named earth?

Just something to think about, lol.

Thar makes even less sense, no. TES isn't the future nor the past.

I don't think the middle ages is quite the right time period. The middle ages (at least in Europe) is associated with the absence of central political authority, and various attempts to re-estabslish it, or establish it anew. In Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion, that central authority is definitely waning, definitely awaiting that one really telling incident to shatter it (like when the Huns sacked Rome), but it is still present, and many people still believe in it.

During the middle ages, there generally was someone claiming to be the Roman Emperor (or rather, several someones, like the Emperor in Byzantium, or the Holy Roman Emperor (who was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Emperor) in Germany, or whoever... just nobody cared. It didn't touch anyone's life in Western Europe. In Morrowind, the Emperor is still a very important figure, no matter where in Tamriel you go.

There really is no direct anologue to Earth history. Uriel is the last strong emperor before the collapse, but Morrowind is more anologous to Judea, which was destroyed fairly early on in the Empire's history. (Then again, I could be wrong, and either the Council or the Legions could end up declaring a new Emperor who goes on to rule successfully.)

I know, i don't believe what i said but it's still something nice to think about. It's similar to the LOTR theory that people throw around. I don't see how it makes less since, it's just sci-fi-ish. It's possible.

well that's just far to impossible. Besides the whole two moons thing, the chances of earth progessing to nirn are, to say the least, very unlikely.

There are many parallels between the Imperial Empire of TES and the Roman Empire, of course. Also Morrowind, atleast Vvardenfell, has a striking resemblance to Roman Britain. You can actually find alot of parallels, atleast politically, to the late Roman Empire. But that is about as good as it gets... there is certainly no anologous time in human history to this time within the TES universe.

It wasn't your spelling I was getting at, if that's what you thought.

But it's fiction lol. The chances of nirn existing at all are very unlikely.

You're asking what timeframe a place that has things with flutes growing out of their faces, hearts of gods in volcanoes, and in the very least, ELVES, would take place in?

C'mon now...just...c'mon.

Quoted for truth.

The beauty of TES is that even though it sometimes acts, sounds and looks like it resembles reality it's not. This allows politicians to stab eachother in the back in more and more entertaining ways, as well as allowing for there to be clearly visible spirits, gods, higher beings. One other boon of this fact is that it has it's own timeline. I'm reasonably sure that time never [censored] up in reality, causing everything for 1008-ish years to have all happened at the same time, backwards, and not at all. While the political situation of Morrowind resembles Rome before the fall at first glance, any further looking at it shows it's actually something else entirely.

What the (censored) is wrong with you honestly

morrowind is pretty much a steampunk universe ... mean i never did believe in robots in the 12th century

what year did giant flea like creatures become the main transport?

but no, seriously I dont think its based off any real year

The fact that you make the most Mind-bogglingly "WTF" threads?

Here is my thought

As far as technology and culture -such as farming, weaponry, printing, etc. The games would be 1400's medieval europe.

But if you take into consideration time and political structure, then I would say somewhere around 0-150 A.D. That is, height of the Roman Empire.

While it cannot be taken as a direct comparison, it does make an adequate anologous comparison

and as for robots in the 12th c. actually you should look into the works of Heron of Alexandria, who pretty much built robots of a sense. That was, by the way, in the bronze age, long before the middle ages.

And Praise Argonian, such direct personal insults are not appropriate for public forums such as these, if you have such derogatory thoughts, please keep them to yourself (actually, I believe that is one of the forum rules) such comments actually make others think less of you.

It would have sufficed to have simply said you do not think this is a good question, or better yet to have not said anything at all. All you have managed to accomplish is made someone (specifically aceisking) angry,

that is the answer i was looking for you explaind alot to me that i didnt know thanks
