Why are there no Dwemer coins?

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 4:59 pm

I remember the small Dwemer coins being a valuable little artifact in Morrowind (50 gold for a 0.5 wieght coin) which leave me to wonder why there arn't any in Skyrim.

Same reason why there aren't many other things either

1) Lack of time

2) An oversight by the dev team

Wow I forgot about those. It's probably something they forgot to put in ya know because of so much other stuff they have to put into the game...

Gameplay reasons.

There aren't any ancient nord coins either. Yet there should be, different coins of different era's. But that would make things more difficult. This is simply the easiest solution.

Easiest solution is not to put them in?

Obviosly, but doing nothings always the easiest thing.

Also you don't need coins from evrey era because since the second era i think they've used septims.

So all they needed to add were Dwemer coins, and mabe Nordic coins.

Not that it's a big thing just a little detail i wish was in there.

Well I'd agree there is a practical problem. For instance not all Draugr invested ruins are from early ages, so you wouldn't have enough about one type of ancient nord coin, you would need a dozen different kinds. This is going to be a lot of work, I wouldn't mind if it were in there, but I think Bethesda has more important things to worry about.

there is a mod for this already, but it has the problem I listed above. All Nord coins come from the same era, so it still isn't perfect.

Well they could have at least added Dwemer coins.

They were my favorite items to collect. I have missed them a lot when I have cleared Dwemer ruins in Skyrim.

It is a bit weird finding modern Septims in Dwemer chests.

I was a bit dissapointed that there is no variety in coins. Nord, dwarven, even just silver coins would have been sweet.

Gold is more or less gold the value is in the weight and volume. You're not finding septims in the chest your finding and equivalent amount of gold in dwemer coins.

Obviously there is no collectors market for antique coins in skyrim.

No your finding septims. As you can see by examining the coins when you collect them from the chests. All gold in the game is septims.

Sony and microsoft are companies means that they have to be competitive why buying a console that is outdated when it comes out and not allowing mods which are a great sucess instead of buying a pc? tell me
