Clearly, you didn't play Oblivion
Lore on Cyrodiil, pre-TES4: "It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle. Its center, the grassland of the Nibenay Valley, is enclosed by an equatorial rain forest and broken up by rivers."
It was supposed to be a much more humid environment, which is understandable given how the Imperials were always modelled after the Romans. Then the Lord of the Rings film trilogy happened and Bethesda decided to turn tropical Cyrodiil into the gently rolling hills and oak forests of medieval Britain, and even threw out all the Roman-esque Imperial army outfits and replaced them with medieval inspired rusty plate. Luckily they backtracked on a lot of those armour changes with Skyrim, but the environment of Cyrodiil is now set in stone.
I know some people like to use the unofficial Thu'um lore fix here, saying Tiber Septim used the power of the voice to shout away the jungles of Cyrodiil and replace them with fertile grasslands and deciduous forests and woodland, but keep in mind that takes place long after ESO, and in ESO we still have a non-jungle, British countryside Cyrodiil.
I'm still very much in favour of sticking to lore and keeping the Chimer out of ESO. But let's not pretend Bethesda aren't fond of ignoring their own lore in favour of mimicking popular culture. Heck, even Whiterun in Skyrim ignores environmental lore since despite claiming to be tundra is clearly modelled after the plains of Rohan - a completely different biome. Tundra in autumn is not brown grasses, but Bethesda will always Bethesda. This is tundra in autumn, and what a lore friendly Skyrim should look like:
You partially quoted the phrase and misread the point. There aren't massive rewrites or retcons of the lore based on popular culture if, and I quote myself here, "it is likely to damage the long-term health of the setting". The changes to Cyrodiil didn't harm the setting. As you point out, the changes were brought about in what can be considered a successful game. So did they damage the setting? No, as others have pointed out, there is much that can be done with unreliable narration and this change took nothing from the series that could not be provided elsewhere.
Do I think return of the Dwemer could be done without removing something intrinsic from the series and setting? No.
These are different cases.1 -

Either way I freaked out a little bit as I think the Harmonic Auditor is definitely a Dwemer. He's wearing the Dwemer style robes. And he's creepy. Kill it with fire.

I took pity on him, despite everything. He seemed to be suffering so much. I never kill NPCs on my main (given the option), she is too compassionate for that, but exactly because of her compassion she couldn't just leave him there to decay for years, not like that.

The answer might be not completely. The last known Dwemer in existence is around during the events of Morrowind the game. Plays a part in the storyline with corpus disease. If he was alive during that time I would say he's around during ESO.IzakiBrotheSs wrote: »Dwemer (aka dwarfs) are extinct in the time of ESO.

There are some options. ESO has these quests that send you back in time, one where you meet the Ayleid king at the moors battle. Another where you interact with the chimer (before they became the Dunmer). ZOS can always have a quest that sends us back to hang out with the Dwemer. Another option is always an ES game that takes place in the 1st Era when the Dwemer were plentiful.KramUzibra wrote: »Excuses to confine it?

As I mentioned a few times in this thread the last known living dwemer featured in Morrowind the game is technically alive in the time of ESO (right?). With a Vvardenfell DLC might we run into him?
But my personal opinion is that Elder Scrolls is like a cake with layers. There is the base of the cake, the set in stone lore if you will, and then the upper layers (and frosting of course) which is where the games take place. Where the flavor and colors change. It's not impossible as I explained but i have a feeling that for ZOS/Bethesda the Dwemer are part of the core lore that won't change. They are gone and the player will always touch upon the mystery through exploration and quests, but I don't think lore will be added to the Dwemer story to the point where they return.
This is what Scipio believes. Happy thanksgiving to ZOS and to the players.Edited by Publius_Scipio on November 24, 2016 7:11PM0 -

They might. For a game set -after- Skyrim...KramUzibra wrote: »Whos to say Bethesda won't come up with some weird story that would allow the dwemer to return.
But we -know- from the lore in the other TES games which are set centuries after ESO, that in all the time between the battle of red mountain and the events of TES:Skyrim, there have -never- been any dwemer returnings. So, no dwemer returnings in ESO either, otherwise people in later times would talk about it.
Actually in Tamriel lore, any child of mixed parentage will not be a halfbreed, but will be of its mothers race (though with the occasional feature from daddy). I assume that some combinations are less likely to be viable and carried to term then others though... and there certainly must be some way for mixed blood to breed true, to explain the bretons - might be magic involved.xX_NachtJager_xx wrote: »

Not rewrite. Anything can happen, there is after all magic. Maybe there was time travel or people that were thought to of been dead weren't really dead. Cater to new people? Isn't that the whole direction eso is going?

I'm not an expert on ES lore, but since forever people have said ESO has broken some lore. What exactly was broken? I don't think ESO shook any core ES lore or did anything that would not make sense with the single player ES games.
And wasn't ESO's time period chosen so that the writers had some space to write as they pleased? The interregnum.1 -

That is how he is in TES:Morrowind, roughly 750 years after the events of ESO... a lot of change can happen in those years, especially considering that the disease which will bloat him is not the epidemic in ESO that it will be in TES:morroind, mostly due to dargoth ur still napping at red mountain...He's not exactly in any sort of condition to procreate anyway.

That is a distinct possibility. That could mean that we can encounter him when Vvardenfell becomes part of the game.
Not sure about the lifespan of the dwemer but I'm pretty sure there's several hundred years between eso and morrowind (the latter in the timeline)0 -
DrkHunter86✭✭✭Too get this for everyone. Around the 1st era year 700 the dwemer vanished....2nd era 583 the events of eso take place....3rd era 427 the events of morrowind take place according too lore gathered by several sites I've looked into.although I feel at least one may be inaccurate as it states there only 4 years between morrowind and oblivion. I'm pretty sure the time gap there is about 200 years really but here's a link too see for yourself. http://m.ign.com/wikis/elder-scrolls-online/Elder_Scrolls_Timeline0

@WhitePawPrints
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.
