This discussion has had some of my more hateful comments about firearms and how they should be used removed.
There is no comment or indication by ZOS that this edit operation has been undertaken, either by a comment by a ZOS admin; or the presence of a ZOS icon against the discussion.

I can only assume that ZOS wants this conversation to continue. With that in mind they clearly want to see where it will go.
Ergo, they are seriously considering it.

Yeah, that's a jump. More likely there's something in the thread that appeals and they'd like to see poked around a bit more. It does not mean that they're seriously considering giving everyone a SIG-550 to play with.

Redguards have cannons, technically. But I am unsure whether at this timeframe or slightly later. But it's during the second era anyhow.

TES;Legends Redguard was set in 2E827, 244 years after the ESO time line.
Just to note..
Redguard was Bethesdas 4th game. The "Legends" games are Battlespire (1997) and Redguard (1998). BGS was still trying to find their nitch.Todd Howard had just been hired and was brand new. Both these games were very unsuccessful and flopped.
The question is would a powder based weapon be lore friendly? Yes, kinda.
Should Firearms be in ESO, NO!
As far as no response to this thread, it is Forum Admins who close/ comment on responses, not the designers. Forum admins have no control over content and you will find a ton of threads that have no response and/or SHOULD be closed. Just because they haven't commented or closed this thread by no means that they are considering this.
Yes the Dwemer had some fantastic inventions. The Dwemer even built a "Flying Machine", but it crashed and there was never another one. Just cause they had one, the Lore doesn't have them, nor firearm style guns. Lets keep it that way..

Huzzah!!!

I know it don't pretend to this. It just made me think of this, of which; it could relate. What is greatly feared and a new enemy? Of which no one had seen before?

What was going through, those brave Knights, of long ago. What were there final thoughts, as they approached the new enemy. That could go through, there heavy shiny armor. With ease?

Didn't everything changed, during the end of feudal Era? In which, it actually ended the Feudal Era. Once others adopted this new technology. In which we still have today?

No, I don't honestly believe, having firearms are Lore breaking. I believe it's actually possible, however real events in game. Might be Lore breaking, if it goes wrong direction.

So far we have crossbows and other weapons. Are based off of real, past events. At the same time it fits in, as well as firearms. So no its not Lore breaking.

Possibly the worst idea I have ever seen for this game.

Also with last night's mass shooting in Vegas I'm sure the last thing ZOS wants to do is promote and advertise adding in machine guns into the game.

I agree. Especially after what happened. Good point you made.

The claims that it's just natural progression or an eccentric inventor who died just doesn't seem to hold water to me.

First of all, it's still only the second era (I think), and far, far before the events of Skyrim, in which there are only primitive firearms if you use mods. The closest any of the most recent Elder Scrolls games gets is enchanted exploding arrows.

"But it could be one inventor who died, right?" No. If a world power had access to weapons of that magnitude, the very first thing they'd endeavor to do is ensure that the knowledge lived beyond that person. Rival powers would struggle to obtain it. This doesn't even consider Sotha Sil and his followers, who would strive to deconstruct it just to figure out how it works.

In order to ensure that one person didn't have a large advantage over others, everyone would need to have access, which would create a massive historical footprint. Someone would have written it down, you could be assured.

The closest we will get is exploding arrows and bombs made of kindlepitch and fire salts, which are about as advanced as molotov cocktails. Neither of these has even the reliability and control of a flintlock pistol, much less a modern machine gun.

This discussion is still open? Also still offensive.

You want guns? Go play Destiny 2.

This is not Call of Duty
