Ok, so I decided to start this because for some reason when I started playing TES Morrowwind and found the first Dwarven ruins there I've been facinated by them. Highly dissapointed that they weren't in Oblivion and was esstatic to find out they are in Skyrim!

So, what my goal in this thread is to find out if any one else has a similar intrest in this mysterious culture, what items you like to collect, any cool relics you may have found that is Dwarven in nature, what you do with your collection if you start one. Or just sit back and talk about the Dweamers, and your thoughts and idea's about them.

LOL so far the only thing I've really done other than explore is dedicate a bookshelf in Markarth to the collection of all the books I find on the Dwarves. Everytime I want to collect stuff to sell or just put away just to say I have it, I am always carrying too much gear, so I don't bother with the cogs, strut's... the only things I've really been able to grab are the Centurian Gyros.

Anyone know if there is a story line about the Giant that roams around in Blackmarsh, like a book or something explaining how he got there? Sadly I ended up killing him because I approched him hoping he could be talked to like a quest to help him or something but he attacked me! lol

As far as I know the giant in Blackreach is just there for scenery.
Has your character visited the Dwemer Museum in Markarth yet?
I have characters that do collect Dwemer equipment, but displaying it is problematic because the houses have a habit of being attacked by a Poltergiest between visits.<--- the gear placed on top of shelves, benches and tables do not stay there and end up being scattered when a character returns.
The Centurion Dynamo Cores are neat because they are a source of lighting, and they can be used to make Daedric gear for Mages who have joined the College of Winterhold.

In the College of Winterfell there is mage named Arniel Gane who is studying the disappearance of the dwemer. I would recommend you help him out as the reward is something incredibly important to dwemer lore. Similarly, Peryite's Daedric Quest reward is also unique and dwemer in origin.
