» Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:01 am The current lore doesn't hold together.
The Dwemer wished to equal or exceed the gods/aedra/daedra, not to extinguish themselves.
Thus, the current theme that they integrated themselves into the skin of the Numidium, lost their individuality and transcended to a higher plane as a perfect 'nothingness' simply makes no sense. It's like assuming that they concluded if they suicided their race, no one could claim to have defeated them. That is so illogical that it forces the dismissal of the entire 'transcendence' hypothesis, which is after all just based on lore in books from the ES series that was 'written' by characters who were simply speculating on the dwemer based on scattered, paltry evidence.
This leaves only one conclusion, the final conclusion that cannot be escaped:
They are still around somewhere.
Ya just can't get away from it. Everything points back to that conclusion.
Thus it is GUARANTEED that the Dwemer will reappear - and it will be devastating.

It was my understanding that in gaining the knowledge that all was the dream of a god, that nothing existed, they realized that they didn't exist and zero summed as opposed to realizing, "If I'm the dream of a god, I am god, and I am also all of creation."
Granted, I don't put a lot of stock into CHIM and fourth wall breaking.
