SubjectProphet Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 NOTE: Just in case, this is in the spoilers section. But think about it; they've gone deeper into the Dwemer than any other game. With the connection to Black Reach as well, I'm quite suprised I haven't seen this brought up. The Dwemer had apperantly disappeared YEARS ago, but that's only what we THINK. What if they didn't? Or what if they came BACK? Any thoughts?

Lachdonin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Actually, there was more information regarding the Dwemer in Morrowind than in Skyrim... In fact, in Morrowind you discovered what happened to the Dwemer. All we really have about the Dwemer in Skyrim is the Falmer abuse, and its really, really crappy writing. It goes against everything we know about Dwemer society, and seems to have been shoehorned in there just to give a reason to get the Falmer in the game. As for this not being brought up... The fate of the Dwemer was talked about back in November. Once it was explained what happened to them, the threat quickly got burried by other thnigs.

In Morrowind actually you only learned one thing. In Skyrim, you learn more. In fact, based off of the information currently released on the Dwemer, 86% of it is from Skyrim. The remaining is from Daggerfall and Morrowind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdonin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Eh... I dissagree with that summary. Morrowind not only gave us the reason for the Dwemer's dissapearance (2 reasons, in fact) but that era of publication gave us insights into Dwemer culture and conduct through 'Ancient Tales of the Dwemer" and statements from both Yagrum and Fyr. With the exception the Dwarves - The Lost Race of Tamriel series and the Dwemer Inquiries, Their Architecture and Civilization series, all other books about the Dwemer come from Morrowind, as do several official articles, letters and stories which have never been included in game.

gsmanners Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The Dwemer have been thoroughly explained, but this is an Elder Scrolls game. You don't seriously expect them to just vanish everything just because it's "sacred tradition" or "fully researched" or some other lame excuse to avoid the issue? The only thing we *know* is that we don't really know anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If the Dwemer are to come back, it would be a rather big event that I'd think it would take an entire numbered TES game for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Doesn't change the fact that the Dwemer, at least, the ones living in Skyrim, were a very cruel race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajuukkhar9000 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) The Dwemer are NOT coming back. All the Dwemer, with the SOLE EXCEPTION OF Yagrum Bagarn, had their souls ripped from their body and fused with the giant golem Numidium and became its golden skin. There was a interview with Bethesda called the "Skeleton Man Interview" were it was confirmed that was what happened and later Micheal Kirkbride himself confirmed it. http://www.imperial-library.info/content/interviews-skeleton-man"Xal, a Human Maruhkati, Port Telvanis:Ah. I will tell you the truth, because you will believe none of it. The Brass God is Anumidum, the Prime Gestalt. He is also called the divine skin. He was meant to be used many times by our kind to transcend the Gray Maybe. The first to see him was the Shop Foremer, Kagrenac of Vvardenfell, the wisest of the tonal architects [Mechanists - MN] Do not think as others do that Kagrenac created the Anumidum for petty motivations, such as a refutation of the gods. Kagrenac was devoted to his people, and the Dwarves, despite what you may have read, were a pious lot-he would not have sacrificed so many of their golden souls to create Anumidum's metal body if it were all in the name of grand theater. Kagrenac had even built the tools needed to construct a Mantella, the Crux of Transcendence. But, by then, and for a long time coming, the Doom of the Dwarves marched upon the Mountain and they were removed from this world." http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/482103-made-up-word-round-up/page__p__6918676#entry6918676 "Kagrenac was devoted to his people, and the Dwarves, despite what you may have read, were a pious lot-he would not have sacrificed so many of their golden souls to create Anumidum's metal body if it were all in the name of grand theater.

Filthy with it, I am. Edited February 17, 2012 by sajuukkhar9000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Funny, but it doesn't look to me like someone actually went to Tamriel and personally witnessed this. And even MK says "so many" not "all" (two totally different concepts, logically). Even more tragically, Dragonrend was lost forever. Oh, wait... :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, wait... :tongue: Actually if you would bother to read what was posted you would see that "so many"can equal "all" in the way the passage is worded. Also MK said in his post"Okay. So now everyone can stop posting about where the Dwarves went. I TOLD YOU EIGHTY YEARS AGO."He said THE DWARVES, not SOME DWARVES, not MOST OF THE DWARVES, not A LARGE PORTION OF THE DWARVES, but THE DWARVES, as in ALL OF THEM.
