Pah! [a href="http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx81/Tharwen/1290296421725.jpg"]I think not![/a][footnote]You might have to save it to view it.

Yes, but it would still be a rather silly move on BethSoft's part to make them magically re-appear. They may as well throw the Chimer and Dwemer back into the bargain if they take that road.GodofCider said:Again, it's part of the Elder Scrolls universe.

Dwarf was just a nickname, either referring to their stature relative to their divine ancestors, or an insult referring to non-physical qualities.gigastrike said:Ok, I don't know much about TES lore, but since when were Dwarves a kind of Elf?
On topic: I agree with Iaryri. If the dragons are the primary enemies in TES V, then I doubt Bethesda would have us fight giant, magic robots on top of them.
I think the inclusion of dragons will be fine. I've got goldbrand and perhaps eltonbrand after all. ^_^ That said, I wonder how Peryite will factor in; if at all. He was always one of my favorites.DaemonicShadow said:On another note, here's hoping for horse combat!
No they aren't. Time and again it has been emphasized that when read, an Elder Scroll not only blinds the reader, but rewrites history both past, present, and future.maturin said:The Elder Scrolls are just prophecies.
There's only one way in which history and time can be rewritten in the ES universe, and it ain't easy.
They're not really dwarves. They're called Dwemer and used to inhabit an area with giants, who called them dwarves, and the name stuck. There's a lot of stuff like that. Like Orcs are actually a type of elf who were changed when their patron god was eaten. And Dunmer (dark elves) used to be golden, but were changed due to being dicks.gigastrike said:Ok, I don't know much about TES lore, but since when were Dwarves a kind of Elf?

Aha, but with a new engine, this problem could be resolved, then we could actually have a reason for horses rather than fast travelling everywhere.GodofCider said:I think the inclusion of dragons will be fine.

At any rate, horses?
Hmm, I can't really agree to that in the least, considering how terribly clunky the movement system was in previous TES games.
Yes, Falmer were essentially just Altmer. I am wondering if the Dunmer are coming back though. And if they are, what are their relationships going to be like with the Argonians?maturin said:Their general deadness is a major obstacle.GodofCider said:Since we're in the north, I wonder if I'll be able to play as a Falmer. ^_^
And odds are they were racially Altmer in any case, just as the Cyrodilic Ayleids and High Rock Direnni were.
Time and time again? Okay, name one that isn't just a lazy plot device in a stupidly written faction plotline.GodofCider said:No they aren't. Time and again it has been emphasized that when read, an Elder Scroll not only blinds the reader, but rewrites history both past, present, and future.
How did he modify the past? He just modified the curse, which played with mortal perception. It is easy to see how he did this. The Elder Scroll simply revealed the truth, and what was done in the past was undone by what was done in the future, in the normal sense.A prime and readily available example of this can be seen in the gray fox quests in Oblivion. Wherein the gray fox overwrites a Daedra princes curse, courtesy of an Elder scroll; rewriting and significantly modifying the past in the process.
This is incorrect. People usually try to say this about periods of nonlinear time and subsequent course correction known as Dragon Breaks, but they are incorrect too.A kind of catch all resolution to any future complications the game developers might have really.
Very bad, that is to say, unchanged.I am wondering if the Dunmer are coming back though. And if they are, what are their relationships going to be like with the Argonians?
I was quite annoyed by the lack of Dwemer ruins in Oblivion, considering the lore says there are some in and under the Velothi Mountains (and any on the Cyrodiil side could probably be explained away by shifts in the borders between the provinces). But if they're coming back in Skyrim, and are of the same quality as the Morrowind ones, then I'll be very pleased.Wolf Devastator said:If the only reason they left them out of Oblivion was to have them make an epic return in Skyrim, I may be able to forgive them...
