Mechanical Constructs Of Nirn
Kalifas
✭✭✭
I am not sure how giants would fit into Elder Scrolls because I am not that hip on Elder Scrolls lore. But I would like to see guild constructed giants for the purpose of guild houses, transportation, PvE, and PvP.
Imagine walking in the Bangkorai desert and one of these big monsters stands in the center. It's your guilds. You walk up to it and either enter through the foot or the giant reaches down and takes you to the entrance in it's body. Inside you see your guild members, rooms, crafting stations, trophies, etc. Your guild is on the way to fight a giant dragon with the colossus. Or imagine walking into a PvP zone and seeing 20 or so huge giants fighting along side players in a battle.
The idea would be that giants be introduced into ESO. Guilds could gather common and rare materials or schematics through-out Nirn. And give them to the Architect who would construct one Colossus per guild. Depending on the materials used, it could get resistances and attributes based off those. For example, one could be constructed with heavy fire resistance or a lightning elemental attack. If constructed from wood it would be faster but have lighter defense. Stone would have medium defense and speed and high crits. Metal constructs would have high defense but slightly less damage dishing and slower.
An idea of battle interaction:

Players could battle along side a giant or if they are attacking one. The giant would be climbable and have a unique weak point. As for giant control I will need some help to come up with that. Should it be totally controlled by one member and fight just like a character would with 12 skills slots. Or would it be cooler to have a few guild members contribute? For example, one guild member controls WASD movement using skill slots 1-8. One controls the blocking arm. One controls the swinging arm. One controls the special attacks it dishes out. The rest of the guild members stoke stat fires like on a steam boat. Few members stoke a health fire for health regen, few members stock a mana blaze for mana regen, and a few members stoke a stamina fire for stamina regen.
Idea of scale and a game that uses giants in all it's games:

Well that is my idea that I would really like to see in ESO. I hope it excites some of you as it has me. I wanted to include a poll after I started this post. But could not figure out how to lol. Please leave some of your thoughts and opinions and if possible tell me how to add a poll to an existing post and I will add a poll.
Enjoy your day!

I guess if that would make it fit in lore lol. Interesting, I didn't know a thing about Numidium. Thanks!An Avid fan of Elder Scrolls Online. Check out my Concepts Repository!0 -
Zet-7✭But there is giants in tES.
Oh, you meant mechs/gundams.
I'd have to say that the idea is not for me.
Dwemers dabbled in constructs, but never got that far as to build such constructs.This is an empty space.0 -

✭✭✭✭When you talk about giants in context of TES lore, everyone thinks about these guys:
They're already in ESO, just visit Skyrim zones. That said, I don't think your idea would fit into the game. While giant mechanical constructs aren't lore-breaking in and of themselves, using them in greater numbers in large scale battles probably would be, especially since the people most capable of and more importantly, interested in such endavours are extinct. Besides, this is Elder Scrolls, primarily a high fantasy game, not a mecha-tank showdown. It reminds me of the LoK finale with its explosions and laz0rs instead of graceful bending. *** industrialism.
(No, not really. No matter what I say, I do love magitech.)
Anyhow, employing large living creatures instead would be worth exploring. You just know people would love riding mammoths into battle.Edited by Rosveen on May 16, 2015 4:59PM0 -

Well these wouldn't have computer screens, missiles, or laser beams. Would be more magical or earthen. If you call that mechs/gundams then I guess.An Avid fan of Elder Scrolls Online. Check out my Concepts Repository!0 -
Heromofo✭✭✭✭✭Dwemer dabbled in this but i am pretty sure most of the information was lost with them.
Still these are no where near the size your talking about and i dont think it would work.
Ps change the title as Gaints are a different sort than the mechanical constructs your talking about.Edited by Heromofo on May 16, 2015 5:04PM0 -
LameoveR✭✭✭✭Dwemers just went into Space, to the far Stars. Now they are all in cryogenic dreams.
Do you remember 1st part of the "Planet of the Apes"?
That's what will happen then.

Lazer, magic. Thrown boulder, missile.
Not much of a difference when you think about it.
And it would have to have gauges to inform of pressure etc.

Well maybe we could find that lost information? That is probably how they are going to go about the lore with spell crafting. Do you mean it wouldn't work in terms of lore or they couldn't pull it off gameplay wise?

Mechas/constructs. Don't bring Numidium into this, it's a very specific construct, not a generic name - and we can't have a dozen of Numidiums running around Cyrodiil right now, or ever, so let's not open this can of worms.What do I change the title to? Numidium?0 -

Trust me i loooove mechs but i dont know i mean unless Bethesda signed off on this new lore. Because it means that after the event of eso the information has to be lost again because of the single player games.
I would use Mechanical Constructs that way maybe a different way not involving the dwemer could be brought in.0 -
