Yes

Yes but only if we can be as cool as this:

Warhammer Fantasy (which Warcraft was originally based on) is explicitly based on Early Modern technology (circa 1600), so the firearms made sense there.

Also, Arcanum's 1880s Fantasy Steampunk vibe was pretty cool and well done.

With Elder Scrolls? Not really interested, no.

Morgul667 · February 2018

No

Can I get a lightsaber ?

AcadianPaladin · February 2018

No

Guns would be a huge step backwards - technology wise. Who in their right mind would trade in a magic staff for such a crude, noisy weapon as a gun, replete with its cleaning and ammo requirements. A magic staff that only rarely needs to be fed a soul gem (and only then if enchanted) is ever so much more advanced.

And yes - guns in Elder Scrolls would constitute a screaming, 'I'm off to another game!' from me.

TheDarkShadow · February 2018

No

Even if they release new range weapon, I'd prefer a crossbow.

GaunterODim · February 2018

No

I would like to have a spear line.

BladedMischief · February 2018

No

No. Never. Doesn’t fit in with lore. And would just be ridiculous.

Iccotak · February 2018

No

Go find another game if you want rifles

Gothren · February 2018

troll post. lets feed it.

Runefang · February 2018

Hell no!

AcadianPaladin · February 2018

No

I prefer bows to xbows but Skyrim had xbows and I don't care if ESO somehow added xbows. Again, don't feel they're necessary and I would stay with bows/staves but at least would 'fit' my Elder Scrolls medieval fantasy view of ESO.

Having come up in Elder Scrolls through years of Oblivion and Skyrim, I am simply delighted that ESO advanced staves to serious/effective weapons. They were crapsticks in the previous games.

Be very, very sure: it doesn't.

Doctordarkspawn · February 2018

No

This ain' fallout, stop trying to make it fallout, sod off.

tplink3r1 · February 2018

No

No. No Dragon mounts, no Dragonborn, no motorcycles, no Dwemer, and no guns.

ArchMikem · February 2018

No

Tamriel is Medieval. The best you're gonna get is Crossbows.

The Dwemer never even invented Firearms, and they were the most technologically advanced Race on Nirn in recorded History.

Yolokin_Swagonborn · February 2018

No

Put guns in PvP and I doubt anyone would care since there are so many COD kids playing this game now.

BloodWolfe · February 2018

No

NO!

GO PLAY COD FFS! Keep that crap out of The Elder Scrolls!

IZZEFlameLash · February 2018

No

Of all things... no. No NRA in Tamriel please.

ofSunhold · February 2018

No

No, it doesn't. Skyrim would have been a lot different.

It doesn't; not really.
Thus... no.

Now... if it were crossbows, slings, or maybe dwemer spark throwers and steamguns...
...though the crossbows and slings would need no new skill line, as they would make way more sense as alternative weapon to bows, and any dwemer artifact guns would be way more limited and should have a chance to misfire due to being more or less half understood relics of a bygone race... as I outlined in the ideas linked to above!

SheepdogPaladin · February 2018

No

I greatly love firearms but they have absolutely no place in the Elder Scrolls series.

Minalan · February 2018

No

@Malamar1229

The call of duty and overwatch kids are that way. —->

DoctorESO · February 2018

Yes

Nemesis7884 · February 2018

rather have crossbows

at the same time i wouldn't completly rule out flintlock guns in the next elder scrolls game to be honest...i like the way for example pillars incorporates guns - gives you more variety...or warhammer guns which are creative but at the same time still feel very fantasy-like... and i think you can find some traces of blackpowder weapons in the elder scrolls lore....

monktoasty · February 2018

No

No thanks so much more we need before we get guns

SirDopey · February 2018

Light Saber please

Bbsample197 · February 2018

Yes

Hell yeah!!! lets add tanks and battleships while were at it!!

Anotherone773 · February 2018

No

But I would like them to give bows some love. As a primary weapon they suck, They are used mostly as a back bar weapon.

No

dwemer and even more clockwork is likely to created atleast prototype muskets, and the elder scrolls series literally has space ships so guns are not a stretch. If firearms were added id limit it to being a rare weapon like vma
