its not like we wanna play as oprah or something just drunken war machines

Just imagine a dwarf in daedric armor :/

i did and it would be epic

I have a dumb question. What precisely do people mean when they say that the Dwemer became the golden skin of the Numidium? Yes I've read the links provided, but I don't really understand it. Can someone post it in simpler terms?

The Dwemer aren't extinct. Some people assume they're extinct but they're not. They disappeared somewhere(maybe with the use of an Elder Scroll?) Being extinct replies that they died/were killed off, but there's no Dwemer corpses to confirm that.

look how massive the black reach is and thats under skyrim so whats all this about them being settled in morrowind they are everywhere.

see now were getting into " the government did it" maybe the thieves guild?

or may al quida

has dark brotherhood written all over that one

or oprah? i dont trust dr phil either anyone with a mustache like that is not to be trusted!!

It means that the Dwemer ascended to a immortality as the skin of a giant god-statue thingy.

“It was unfashionable among the Dwemer to view their spirits as synthetic constructs three, four, or forty creational gradients below the divine. During the Dawn Era they researched the death of the Earth Bones, what we call now the laws of nature, dissecting the process of the sacred willing itself into the profane. I believe their mechanists and tonal architects discovered systematic regression techniques to perform the reverse -- that is, to create the sacred from the deaths of the profane."

-Baladas Demnevanni

It all begins with the difference between the worldview of the merish and the mannish races.
The mannish races see creation as a gift, as a means to become greater than what was possible before.
The merish races see creation as a trap, the Aedra as jailors and many long to return to the endless possibility of before.

The Dwemer studied the downward cycle of creation in an attempt to undo, reverse it.
Instead of becoming ever smaller and more fragmented, they attempted to uncreate themselves back into one being that would be infinitely greater.
Numidium was to house this being and it would be powered by the Heart of Lorkhan.

That is what is meant by 'golden skin', they were to be the golden mean of the Numidium, the bridge between the Mundane and the Divine, ultimately to return to the first brushstroke of Anu and Padomay and the infinite roads of possibility.

Orcs and elves are nothing like in LOTR. And can you explain to me why Dwemer armor fits a nord, foe example?

yea get your smithing up and make a set of dwemer armor and i bit it will fit no one aint gonna make armor to small to wear.

and if you were a dwarf i bet dragon bone armor will fit just like when you take forsworn armor from a chick and put it on and it magicaly changes for a dude.

Exactly. Don't you think the Dwarves thought the same way? Then explain to me why Dwemer armor can be found in Dwemer ruins? Because the dwemer wore it. And why does it fit? Because they weren't short...

i would hearby like to form the "drink and Fight guild" for skyrim we are doing a recruitment drive on thursday. FOR THE DWARVES!!!!!!

We are talking lore now, tho. This has nothing to do with lore.

count me in

when you take the fur armor from a chick your nord aint wearing a bra is he why is that all armor you find fits whichever caracter you use

that would just be awkward sir! but im all for different lifestyles!

I think I understand it now, thank you.

So basically they didn't like being near the bottom rung of creation, and wanted to transform themselves into God-like entities. By studying the Heart of Lorkhan and other parts of the world, they determined that they could accomplish this through the creation of the Numidium and the binding of themselves to it. Only the plan kind of backfired and they "poofed" out of the plane of Nirn when Kragrenac tampered with the tools.

it would do the same for the dwarf no matter the size thats the way of tes u see if you find armor no matter where and it will fit.. take a bar maids clothes and it turns into barmans clothes. so your comment on it fitting is mute

Orcs are Elves. The laws of nature are dead gods. The dreamsleeve is not only where souls lose their memories on death before returning to new bodies, but can be used as a communication device. The Dwemer are Elves, only known as dwarves because that's what they were to the giants. The Daedra are alive, sort of, but the Aedric gods are dead, sort of. Wood Elves are cannibals, at least when they are at home.

That's the way it is for TES. Some things are different to everything else. This is a good thing, unless you happen to be a hegemonising swarm.

I'm not really sure if you're serious? We are discussing lore here. The feature you're talking about is there because it would be inconvinient to have 2 sets for each armor. If Dwemer armor found in ruins was too small, then you wouldnt be able to wear it. If you want proof on this, try picking up the club of a giant.
