Aren't all those planets around Nirn the realms (or the actual bodies) of the Aedra?

The mystery of the Dwemer has already been solved. Go ask around in the Lore forum.

oh i dealt with them accordingly (damn that was a hard to get smiley, i hate these new forums)

I am very well aware now that the lore section has solved the dwemer mystery... I guess you could call this topic uncanny, for it is just an idea I thought was pretty interesting. I would love to see this happen in a DLC. I'm not disagreeing with the lore forums.

I dont like the idea of aliens in the tes universe

I always thought the dwemer themelves might have been alien. Due to their highly advanced technology. Or that they at least ascended to such a high level of technological capability that they left the planet of Nirn and explored the realm outside of it.

actually thats sorta what they did (the part about exploring outer realms, past what humans/mer/beast folk can get too) since they are apperently on a plain higher than atherius (the immortal plain)

Dwemer being alien is interesting indeed. However, I am pretty sure it's a proven fact that they are in fact mer. Hence the dweMER. Still it would be cool if they were gathering research or something for their home planet.

didnt all the dwemer just basically go *poof* and turn to ash more or lass? Well other thna the fat one in Morrowind.

wait howwas the mystery solved...whered they go

I cant really explain it too well but simply they tried to become godlike and ended up getting sent to a different realm/dimension. I dont really know, I would suggest going to the lore section

I like the idea...
but

What if they all vanished because of magical doings and are stuck on another planet/plane of existence ?

on my way then tnx also have a fishystick

That would make sense, they probably have the tech to survive without oxygen.

Like i could see the dlc right now..
You find ______ <--- goofy named ruin.. inside you find a portal to where there at.
You either kill them or let them be Or return them

I like the idea of a portal! I also thought the dragonborn being abducted would be cool, but that might be a little too much like mothership zeta... But just 3 choices? C'mon, there's got to be some sort of conspiracy, like the dwemer being treated really bad by the alien race.

No, just no. What the hell?

why does it always have to be the smartest race that dies.

Didn't they cover what happened to the Dwemer in Morrowind, I really can't remember it though been a long time since I played it with serious involvement

Ok let me put my thinking cap on..

There are multiple scenarios as to what and where they are at. I would like to think where ever they are they have built a giant fort/lair/city. Im not sure about aliens but what about a new race thats either enslaved by the dwemer or they have the dwemer enslaved.

Or

Sense we dont know much about them.. prehaps we can have like a type of place ( where you end up on the other side of the portal ) where they can live like humans/ other elven kind never existed. Im not sure or i dont remember reading about how there hierarchy worked but like either make it so there evil or there good?

I dont know lol..

I guess the possibilitys are endless ..

Im thinking maybe the portal will take you into a new realm of oblivion where they have become warped and twisted... Maybe make a new daedric prince that is dwemer?

No, they were enslaved by Krab people. They dug too deep building one of their cities and fell into the krab people's trap.

Not the worst idea I've ever heard, but definitely the worst one this week.

A lot of people seem to reckon that the Dwemer were abducted. What if they found a way to get to the other planets, or enter another dimension- like the Planes of Oblivion? Bloody hell, what if they created a dimension?

lol, I posted twice

By the nine eight divines,
Has Indiana Jones not taught us anything? Aliens can not just be planted in a random genre.

Dwemer..abducted by aliens...in the middle of a war...with no one noticing at all, even the race they were in total bloody war with..

Yep, makes sense.
