ThaHermit Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 So the dwemer made all kinds of cool stuff, right. Robots, dungeons with more robots, airships.....and more robots. Ok, I'm just gonna come right and ask....Dude, where's my car??? Seriously though. Why hasen't someone come up with the idea for a dwemer car? And if not a car, why not a dwemer motor cycle? Think about it, THE DWEMER BODY SHOP. Why not, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Because it's too jarring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsxMeUP Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Come on, just because they could create automatons with batteries with millions of hours of juice doesn't mean they could create cars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropxe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Well I think they could create cars, since the other things they've made are far more advanced than the technology at the time of the invention of cars in reality. I mean, if they can make a machine that turns a load of gears and makes a robot walk around, they can turn gears that turns wheels around - it's far simpler. However, cars are so strongly associated with "modern times" (even though that stretches back quite a long way) that it would just jar badly, as InuyashaFE said. I think they can get away with the robot things because they seem almost like magical suits of armour, which fits into the fantasy genre more easily.

Gibbo3771 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 However a mechanic Dwemer horse obtained via quests is still lore friendly and fits in with the rest of the robots styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeSkyrim Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe a steam powered car, or magica powered that consumes soul gems. If they can build the automatons, they can build a car imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubjectProphet Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe they did build them, but destroyed them after building them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienraven Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Remember the Dwemer lived underground in citys, a car problably would'nt have been that useful for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubikNight Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Robot dragons? No? Anyways, I have almost 20 hours worth of questline mods from Korean modding sites (making a Bleach overhaul, similar to the uncompleted Oblivion). Modding this game makes it a lot more fun. Moonpath to Elsywer. Enuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofscotty Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As much as the idea of driving around skyrim in a car makes me cringe I have to agree that it is totally plausable. Those small orb robots could easily be modified and made bigger to hold a human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
