I wonder if Zenimax would ever consider bringing back the dwarfs as a playable race. Maybe a new dlc???

Dang that sucks. I haven't went through all the threads yet. It would be smart of them to put a huge dlc out to keep players coming back3 -

Its never gonna happen because its not up too zos too start with. Bethesda the makers of the elder scrolls franchise have ultimate say in all things elder scrolls including eso. And bringing them back would break the lore of the franchise. This is also part of why we wont ever see flying mounts and certain other things people have been asking for. Bethesda is very particular about breaking game lore....one of many reasons they are my favorite developers. Sorry man wishful thinking.10 -

DrkHunter86✭✭✭FYI Dwarf in TES = Another Elf race and not what people traditionally think when they picture a Dwarf.
Dwarves in tes are yes an even like race but also vanished from nirn way before eso's time frame. I wanna say it was either before or very early in the 1 era but my lore is pretty rusty. Point is they where meant too be an almost mythical like race and intended too be extra lore in the series.0 -

✭✭✭The Clockwork City will reveal that Dwemer plan A didn't work:
Whereas plan B was to simply tunnel to Tang Mo and open up a series of automated yogurt shops/dungeons. Whereupon dwarves will become a playable race but much like the falmer are found to have been warped over the ages. Now they look like this:

I believe it was the disappearance of the Dwemer that ushered in the second age.
(There! Happy @TX12001rwb17_ESO and @builder680 and others?!)The Second Era began appx 2220 years after the disappearance of the Dwemer (the 1st era was 2920 years long). 2E year 1 marks the fall of the Reman Dynasty, and the beginning of direct rule over Tamriel by the Akaviri potentates. In 2E 572, the Akaviri invaders were defeated.
This begins a period known as The Interregnum, a decade or so into which ESO is set. The "Emperors" of this period (such as the ones you see crowned in-game) never controlled much more than Cyrodiil, and are largely forgotten to TES history. In 2E 896, Tiber Septim will complete his conquest of all Tamriel and usher in the Third Era.
433 years after THAT, Martin Septim will end the Oblivion Crisis be defeating Mehrunes Dagon, a Daedric Prince doing pretty much what Molag Bal is doing in ESO. That will mark the beginning of the Fourth Era. 200ish years later, the events in Skyrim will take place.
Tiber Septim conquering Tamriel ushered in the third age.
Oblivion Gate Crisis ushered in the fourth age.
I am to assume that the defeat of Alduin will create the fifth age; with dragons back since probably the mythical era.

Firstly it is called an Era and not an Age, this is not Dragon Age and secondly the Dwemer vanished during the battle of red mountain which was only half way through the First Era.WhitePawPrints wrote: »DrkHunter86 wrote: »FYI Dwarf in TES = Another Elf race and not what people traditionally think when they picture a Dwarf.

Also if you want to know what Dwarves in ES are, they were only called that because the ones who named them that were giant so they looked short by comparison but by all means they are the same height as most of the other races, they are also actually called "Dwemer" and are a race of technological advanced elves.

You are likely right. As I said my lore is pretty rusty. I stopped reading every book I found in skyrim as it was my least favorite elder scrolls game.....and let the flaming begin lol.0 -

Exactly,they make the lore and can expand the game further,Instead of excuses to confine it.1 -
SaRuZ✭✭✭✭✭Excuses to confine it? Sorry but for longtime fans of TES series, rewriting something as significant as the disappearance of an entire race to cater to new people would be completely irrational. Morrowind, the best TES game imo, wrote the book on the dwemer and why they vanished. Play it sometime.Edited by SaRuZ on November 23, 2016 7:38AM11

✭✭✭I doubt the dwemer will ever be back. It would be very interesting if in ESO they run a storyline where you end up in the past and see the dwemer and can interact with them. That plot has been used in ESO already, but in relation to the dwemer I'd say that's wishful thinking.
I think the dwemer are cemented in lore as an ancient advanced race that went POOF and that's where they will stay.
That's not to say there won't be more quests exploring dwemer ruins and garnering bits and pieces of new lore about them.
In the (legendary) game Morrowind there were enemy dwemer ghosts in delves. Also the last known living dwemer was a big part of the storyline. Come to think of it, unless I'm mistaken, if he was around during the events of Morrowind that would mean he is technically around during ESO.
The only way we will see the dwemer back in ESO as you suggested OP is if the man, the myth, the legend Sir Lawrence Schick one night partakes in some recreational drug use, loses a drinking game to Rich Lambert, gets completely ripped, goes home, sits at his desk, and goes to town on paper with his pen at 3:43 am.Edited by Publius_Scipio on November 23, 2016 7:33AM1 -

I have had a nagging feeling for a few years that Bethesda will bring them back in a very big way and explain where they went. Most likely in TES 6.
It would be cool if that happened but I'd prefer ESO stayed far away from it. They already try to do too much in this game already.

Its never gonna happen. Not unless they go way back in time and make a game specifically about the dwemer... And I think you stand a better chance of winning the lottery before this ever happens.0
