I'm going to have to say no. I've been an elder scrolls fan my entire life, and one of the most intriguing and unique aspects of this game is the mystery of the elusive, super-advanced dwemer. While part of us all wants to truly know what they're like, where they went etc. I think directly adding them to the game in full force would ruin their mystique. The purpose of the dwemer is to be unknowable. That's their role in the lore. To be an ultimate mystery beyond our comprehension. Their personalities, their beliefs, their inner thoughts, their culture were supposedly so alien and strange that it wouldn't make sense to us. I once read a dwemer children's poem and couldn't understand a word of it, but that inspired me to look deeper, it made me wonder, and imagine. That's the purpose of the dwemer. Everytime a question is answered about them, dozens of new question need to emerge. I'm all for catching glimpses of them, maybe even seeing one for the first time since Morrowind, even having a cryptic conversation with them! But having a whole game where they suddenly all reappear would ruin the magic behind them.
