Dwemer steam technology everywhere

Yet they still use swords

They have active constructs / guards in them. It was viewed as too dangerous, some people did explore them but most didn't make it out alive.

Some people do live in them, but it’s mostly archaeologists, bandits or vampires because they’re stinky disfunctional subterranean dungeons you can’t have crops or animals in and you have to clear out of magic terminators first.

I killed a bazillion of them, and so can my tag a long friend.

>inexhaustible
>what's magicka???
next you'll be telling me coal isn't a limited resource

what is ulfrics tax policy?

Thats like saying manual labour isnt sustainable because "people get tired"

>destruction magic is an inexhaustible and cheap source of heat
Explain to me how a wizard heating up water 24/7 is a cheaper and less exhaustible power source than a coal furnace doing the same thing.

>How come they don't use steam power in Skyrim?
They do though? Half the pipes have said steam flowing through them and the Dwarven Centurion entirely functions on steam.

except it's a thing in the elder scrolls universe where the actual supply of magicka from aetherius has been decreasing over time

If the spellcasters are experienced in the school of destruction, rotate exhausted and fresh mages and are well supplied with potions of mana restoration and gear with enchantments of fortify destruction and restore magicka applying constant heat is easy as fuck.

>implying
Fire magic drains energy and mana
Its like saying human labour is an inexhaustible energy source
It is technically but its not as efficient as machines

Imaging paying 10 mages to cast fire and listen to them wine about low mana when one steam engine can do their job for literally thousands of years nonstop

Ok so why do we use machines irl instead of human labour?

No one has been able to solve the mysteries of dwemer steam engines. But ffs they must know some basic physics and thermodynamics (they have retorts and alembics in common alchemy sets) and they know about fire spells.

>if you have experienced mages in high enough numbers to fill enough shifts for constant coverage and supply them with consumables made by other wizards out of physical ingredients and magic gear also made by pother wizards out of literal souls, you can EASILY heat up a barrel of water!

Thats just the price we pay to enslave the plane of ether, to power civilization.

They can just have mages create electricity.

Dwemer smithing is quite literally just reforging existing metal pieces into armour
Replicating production methods of Dwemer alloy is a lost craft

Exactly. What could a well trained crew of boiler heater wizards achieve on a proper steam transport ship? Fast, cheap transport of goods over long distances without regard to the winds?

probably because no one but the dwemer knew how to build it and use it

Dwemer technology can already create steam by itself, it just needs a small source of energy which isn't even based on magicka.

And before you argue, the airship crashed because of a snowstorm, not due to failed technology.

wtf is that smokestack for then? the onboard kitchen?

>how do hot air balloons work

>everything is imagination
How come they don't just imagine shit works in Skyrim?

Nuclear fission doesn't exist in TES, retardo

They aren't even steam engines, they're pipe organs that whistle magic spells. Dwarven automatons are flailing about to magic circus music.

First you need to relize that the whole world is a dream, then manage to mantain your individuality in front of the realization that you technically don't exist. Then and only then your imagination can modify the existence in that way.

Attaining CHIM is Hard as Fuck and can end with your existance completely erased like you were never there in the first place.

I always thought that was the reason though. That's why dwemer creations almost always have a soul gem inside.

Dermer stuff isn't even proper steam tech, it's crazy tonal architecture magic that was lost with their race. Lorewise no one can even work dwemer metal much less reverse engineer their "technology", except the player can smith it cuz fuck you

Stop right there bucko, that is called world building and we don't have it here, and we don't like you type, go back to whatever ARPEEGEE you came from and let us enjoy Todd's epic master piece, with EPIC DRAGONS, and EPIC STRONGHOLDS, and EPIC SOUNDTRACK.
Don't forget to pre-order Starfield, Skyrim for PS5 and TES6.

Lorewise it's canon that the Redguards' original homeland of Yokuda was obliterated by a cataclysm caused by usage of 'Sword Singing'. which is basically another fancy implementation of the same tonal mechanics that the nordic Thu'um is. Except in this case the ancient redguards sword sang so well they conjured a blade that was so sharp and so fine that it split atoms and blew their homeland up

I'm paraphrasing some of this and skipping over some stuff but the gist of it is that they really did nuke their homeland inadvertently

What other materials are there to consider? And I mean throughout all of the games
>Ebony
Very rare and very hard to smelt & forge
>Orcish
More widespread than most hard materials, but still not really commonly found. And oh boy, the quality varies extremely. High Rock/Orsinium orcish armour is actually available as a better alternative to ebony armour. The question then is, if orcish can actually be forged to a degree that overshadows ebony, or if Illiac Bay is just filled with shoddy ebony armour and weapons, if ebony ore or ebony smelting form is not up to the quality of other parts of Tamriel
>Adamantium
Also rare, hard to forge, and also varies in quality. For change, it's better than orcish in Vvardenfell, while in Illiac Bay it's on par with mithril and worse than orcish. Same questions about it's varying properties apply in here as well
>Mithril
See above
>Stalhrim
Solstheim only, and the Skyrim's knockoff is still extremely hard to mass produce

Dwemer metal was plentiful and used in all sorts of things in dwarven ruins. It's the only metal that was better than steel and was mass produced, did not rust in conventional sense and kept edge on weapons

The Dwemer use enchanted gyroscopes not steam.

You still need someone to cast said fire spell
Why not mechanize the whole process and get a machine what can do what a wizard does but faster and with no breaks?

Skyrim isn't exactly the most technologically advanced place in the already fuck up 4era

>can summon minions
no one would do any form of menial labor
>can conjure weapons and armor
all blacksmiths are out of work
>can teleport
every other form of transport is now irrelevant
>healing magic exists
the richest people would all have healing gimps 24/7

why dont writers think about how magic would affect everything in society
