Oh god I hope not. I'm getting sick of dwemer ruins.
tcpolecat7
I'd play that. I LOVE exploring old ruins. It was one of the reasons I adored FO3 so much. Not a lot of people, lots of exploring.
ChalkCoatedDonut
The Elder Scrolls VI: Blackreach with timed random spawn of Red Nirnroots, no background music and no escape until picking all 200 nirnroot.
cuddlesdotgif
It’s easily been 8 years since I played Skyrim and the mere mention of the bastard just cued the sound memory full blast. Fuck. Nirnroot.
Animorphs
I enjoyed Morrowind's.
mooncactus
Those dwemer kegs made me so much gold. All those sweet, sweet jewels
LeraviTheHyena
So many centurion dynamo cores, so little time
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
I got bored of them, there's even less going on in those dungeons than other dungeons. At least in other dungeons you might meet someone.
darkmyst30
Make it a prequel where you play during the downfall of the dwarves.
CloudStrife668
At this point let's just assume ES VI isn't coming out for another 5 years.
And when it comes, it will be filled with glitches.
I'd rather that than have another Fallout 76 release debacle.
FractalChainsaw
It'll come out the same week as Winds of Winter and Half-Life 3.
I've given up on Half Life 3.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
Do people not like Dwemer ruins??
I love them but they were annoying sometimes
Danxiety
They were very repetitive with very little variation between each one except for story/quest ones.
Phobetor42
Idk, I'm not a huge fan of the Falmer and those GODDAMN Chaurus can fuck right the hell off.
supawuam
For the fact that the Falmer have been blind for many generations, they hear a reasonably skilled assassin archer damn badly.
Tyrann01
Exactly. Although Dwarven-Mesopotamian ruins? Yes yes yes.
Indeed. Spiders are a thing, but Chaurus are creepy and gross as fuck and I hate them.
Sh4dowWalker96
Other way around for me. Arachnophobia is a bitch, but I'm fine with Chaurus for the most part.
Not to mention the fact that they can be a bitch and half to deal with especially the reapers.
pazooPositivityPlayer
I'd always get over encumbered when exploring these ruins becuse I'd pick up all the plates and junk to decorate my house.
iamnoobplzhelp
Make sure to take a companion with you and fill them up first!
Tyaldan
i installed a mod, weightless dwemer junk. Yeah its a lil op pulling 200 ingots out of a ruin, but far less op than some vanilla bugs. QOL
Seems like a good mod
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
I want Dwemer style furniture in real life!
Yeah! I rely want to buy an IRL Dwemer sword by they're sooopo expensive
alternatereality543
player.modav carryweight 9001
Haha good idea
dragonsdemesne
Max strength. Then craft strength items. Still can't carry even most of the basics, lol.
Some may call this junk I call this treasure.
sadurdaynight
Bag of trash mod.. The one that you csn set a gold amt it pays you for trashing stuff in it. You can klepto whole areas.
Awesome
Avrune
Seriously, I loved all the stupid shiny metal and gems, made myself a dragons hoard. House was a mess of shiny knickknacks and books.
I specifically had a treasure room with all the most valuable stuff until the game started lagging significantly
thedevil
I’ve been saying it for years. Skyrim should have had an endgame item (my vote was the stones of barenziah) that worked as an ender chest
That'd be awesome, hopefully the case in the next Elder Scrolls games
Back to your home. Could have been limited to one house or the most expensive hold but for collectors it could have been huge.
crazyspelling
Stuff like this could replace 90% of the daedric quest rewards and make them actually worth doing.
Like in Zelda when you get rearded with an empty jar and you're like "HELL YEAH, EMPTY JAR!"
randomwalrus
Ah, the over-encumbered mosey. I know it well. Skyrim, Fallout, Outer Worlds, any game that lets me, I fill my pockets, and waddle home.
squelcheswetly
The only Skyrim mod I used was a weight limit remover.
I've been stubborn and it's taken many in game hours to slowly waddle to a hose or home
7heBored
I used to do this until I realized that, since I'm coming back anyway, if I just drop enough little things to be able to run I can collect/1
even more junk more quickly. /2
It's hard when your deep deep down in a cave
Christx30
I would pick up all the dwemer metal I could carry (With Lydia’s help) to level up my Smithing.
Astramancer
Fun fact: if you use the command dialogue option and command them to pick up something it ignores their encumbrance limits.
That's a good idea I always have the bad habit of dropping it becuse I saw a cool plate or some
TwoFlower68
Why not make jewelry? You can mine iron, turn it into gold, add some gems... Profit
tinydog
One of my great frustrations with elder scrolls online is that you can't pick up all of the awesome decorations to put in your houses.
SergeantTerryJeffords
There's a mod for that
OldSchoolNewRules
TGM
I steal so much stuff just becide I want to decorate my house.
doesntmatter
What. That's the greatest betrayal of the the spirit of the ES games I could ever imagine
JHord1985
Listen, if I can't make a blood-glowing pyramid of collected skulls around a single red candle, I don't want to decorate at all.
Oh, you can do that in ESO, but you won't just be able to pick up the skulls and candles you see - you need to craft or buy the candle >
> (from the lux vendor that only offers a given item once per year or two), and you'll need to piccolos the skulls from certain NPC types. >
bamboolemur
Seriously, so much back and forth because I just can't leave anything behind.
LaughingInTheFaceOfDanger
I got so tired of being over overencumbered that I set my bag weight really high. Only 2 cheat I used was that and infinite stamina lol
ReaperCDN
This is why you bring Lydia. For your burdens.
Barkinsons
RPG hoarding is a real problem
AntRam95
https://youtu.be/Vcx6UbMCtfI
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
New world makes it very hard to hoard since everything storage is capped low and I want EVERYTHING
SpambotsStoleMyScreennameAgain
Somewhere I have a picture of a giant, two story pillow fort I built in Morrowind instead of following the main quest line.
I think my first Skyrim run was about 100 hours in when I realized I had forgotten to speak to the Greybeards
I always start a skull collection so I can't leave any skulls behind
travisflagg61411
I put so many skulls in the entrance to the markarth home, it crashed my game every time I went home :3 good times
cow042
I try collecting all the sweet rolls for I am the one who stole your sweetroll
Haha that's hilarious. I often try shooting people in the knees for a similar reason.

fake40nedeso
Hhhmmm I‘m intrigued. That way, when my daughter sleeps and my wife tries to find a way (out) of there I got plenty time to myself
aflarge
I would love a dwemer themed ES game, but I worry that no explanation will be better than the mystery of what happened to them.
LordSithis
Thought, just make the game distant past before they poofed, similar to what eso did.
YoSamiteSam
There totally is lore about exactly what happened to the dwemer but it is not known to characters in the game because of the tribunal.
Basically they tried to escape determinism and kill God and escaped to another dimension.
doodthedud
But we have a lot of evidence the use of Kagrenac's tools either directly killed or zero-summed them. No direct proof, but much evidence.
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
right, they became aware that they were fictional and stopped existing
Not zero-summing, that's another thing. The goal of using Kagrenac's tools were to return them to godhood, and from the elvish perspective1/
godhood means the state of existing before creation was created (which they view as being what chained their divine ancestors to the world2/
and caused them to over time lose their godhood) -- so returning to godhood would does mean completely freeing them from the chains of 3/
the mundane world and essentially undoing themselves from creation and returning to their divine, pre-existance state. 4/4
UpsideDownKingdom
Dwarven Ruins are the thing I hate most in that game. Because I despise Falmer.
ENCHANTMEN
But all the charus eggs tho
Unravelled
Well they despise you too
hiyesthisissatan
Same. I just left and haven't even finished that part of the game play.
XanCrews
I hate how they get longer every single time. Yes, I can save anywhere and go to bed. No, I don’t want to. Thanks for coming to my TEDx talk
DurendaI
I remember some mod I installed made them all invisibility potion and poison using stealth archers who always kited me. Fun times.
Firebending
I see masochism is your thing too
I was mostly pure destro mage. Then I became a vampire lord and spammed them hp siphon spells. Ez game
4vie
Did Falmer weapons have any armor piercing properties, because they could cut throw dragonbone armour like it wasn't there!?
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Wasn't that really cool underground mushroom city all Falmer though? With the red nirnroot?
Pestilenceisone
Yes that was a fucking nightmare. Except for when you Fus Ro Da the globe on the roof in the middle and the dragon came out of nowhere
Oh what? I only ended up in there by accident once. Thought it was neat and dipped. Didn't know there was a dragon down there.
wiltsjunk
Yes same. Those ruins got old very quickly for me.
eggmuffin
They wouldn't necessarily be Cyrodillic Dwemer cities. Could be in Black March, or Hammerfell.
Ludwigofthepotatoppl
Love/hate. Love the ruins so much. Hate the damn nasty-ass falmer.
vorodar
Those are only in Skyrim. Morrowind had plenty of Dwemer ruins with a grand total of zero Falmer in them.
donthaveonebrojustlurk
Fuck yeah. Wheeled sword robots, little electrical spider bastards, and more metal salvage than you can carry.
The thing I despise the most about Falmer is how Bethesda just stole the design wholesale from the Descent movies
Eridianne
Oh. Shit. OH SHIT.
cattywumpus
How did I end up in fuckin Blackreach again?
Too much skooma
YesmynameisGreg
Yes, but how do you feel about Snow Elves?
TheRockDude
Yes but have you heard of the High Elves?
Anonanimal3000
EBlade19889
Well played
majorminers
Heard of em? I hunt em fer their hides. Affectations is wurth a purdy penny too. *spit
SomeDetroitGuy
I kind of want an Elder Scrolls game based in the distant past where Snow Elves and Dwemer were still alive.
encyclopediabritannica
And the Akaviri snake-people!
Ranion7
Ayleids, too.
iHaveANewPuppy
We are the Dwemer
KingMammajamma
Saaaaaaaaame. So much the same
squirreltactics
TheGiantTater
Me too... but nope. Heres Skyrim Re-Remastered instead.
If they ever do release a Dwemer game, they can't explain the disappearance. It must remain a mystery.
idiotcube
They all got REALLY drunk, dug deeper than they ever had before, and never came back up.
Thranx
too deeply, and TOO greedily, some might say
SuperLuminalMan
An epic 100+ hr bender where they all recreate a 1:1 replica of the shallower cities for shits and gigs, and just live there instead of back
sticksosteel
I thought the falmer killed them?
Nah they either succeeded in their quest to achieve godhood and undid themselves from creation, or they failed and turned themselves into 1/
TheVampireDante
First half of the game, Dwemer are all still around as normal going about life, one day you wake up and they are gone, no explanation.
OmenJones
We kind of already know what happened, there just isn't an in-universe explanation.
kutison
Heavy metal poisoning.
MrSquiggleTheManFromMars
The disappearance has been explained, its relevant to the history of the tribunal in morrowind, just not common knowledge in universe
Nusernume
This, thank you. I wonder what % of modern elder scrolls fans have gone back and played morrowind. It is pretty janky by today's standards.
