Honestly I'm getting a little tired of skyrim Dwemer stuff by this point.

>>1593 I was pulling your leg there, but how much more advanced are Sotha Sil's machinations anyway? I'm talking in terms of mainstream canon, by the way.

>>1595 Well, the things we know about are his fabricant, his city, and himself. His city has clear circuitboards, and a computer, while the fabricants show advanced robotics and even mechanical augmentations, and finally, he himself shows evidence of electrical wiring, and still more heavy cyborg mods.
Dude goes beyond the dwemer's steampunk stuff to straight up high magitek.

Numidium is more advanced of a tech than all of Clock Work City, hence why he wrecked CWC in C0DA.

Trainwiz 10/18/14 (Sat) 09:38:20 No. 1614
>>1613 Exactly. It doesn't make them more advanced, plus I doubt Sotha Sil ever wanted to build a world-denying death machine.
Anonymous 10/18/14 (Sat) 09:51:26 No. 1615
>>1596 You're right. However when compared to the Dwemer, Sotha Sil probably did get more caught on mundane patterns (repetitive/more primitive concepts), limiting his ability to build machines functioning on higher sub-gradients.

>>2852 My belief was that in the original version of Morrowind that spanned the mainland, he was planned to have committed suicide. MK mentioned his "death mantra" being a book that was cut or something, and said he was inspired by his interpretation of hell.

>>2853 perhaps he made a suicide pact with Almalexia only to have her back out of it at the last second.

>>2857 My guess for Almalexia was that she was going to go crazy like in Tribunal, and be a mid-boss you faced before Dagoth Ur. MK said he based her on his "fear of evil mothers", and said that the plot of Tribunal wasn't too far off what was originally planned.
My theory is that instead of getting Keening and Sunder from the crater citadels, you'd get them from Almalexia and Sotha Sil. Almalexia would've refused to sacrifice her divinity like Vivec planned and you'd have to kill her for it, while Sotha Sil is already dead and the real problem would be finding and surviving the Clockwork City.

>>2858 I would have liked it if you actually got to meet Sotha Sil. Maybe you come about the clockwork city and his creations are going wild because he's become so withdrawn and depressed he's barely paying attention to the outside world, and you come across him in the middle of his suicide ritual.

I have a headcannon that there were 5 great Dwemer at the beginning of the 1st Era, and the greatest as Mzark. All 5 died heroically. and had towers built in their honor that lead to Blackreach.

Dwemer tech isn't just steampunk. In Skyrim you use a giant computer to decrypt an elder scroll and write it to a fucking SSD.
And Sotha Sil was a tinkering autist. Dwemer had more important things on their mind than gluing metal to animals.

Wrong on pretty much all accounts. Between the emphasis on steam, pipes, pistons, and gears, Dwemer are steampunk as hell. Compare this to the wires, circuitboards, and electricity of Sotha Sil. Sotha Sil both understood dwemer techology, and was able to improve and outdo it.
Dwemer were certainly not thinking about more important things as well. I mean, if you're talking about autism, Numidium is basically a concentrated tantrum robot. Dwemer are morons who could never see the bigger picture and wanted things to go back to the shitty old ways. Meanwhile Sotha Sil was actually reprogramming the world as it ran, shaping the future Amaranth, while the dwemer just did the metaphysical equivalent of covering their ears and going "I'M NOT LISTENING".
Dwemertech is shit, a reflection of their stagnant society and way of thinking, Sothatech beats the fuck out of it on every level.

I feel the same but I mostly blame Bethesda for not capitalizing it as well.
Overall dungeon design has suffered significantly since Daggerfall, Dwemer included. Imagine if a proper Dwemer city, that actually looked like a city instead of a dungeon, was made. It would be great. Or fuck even that Dwemer train mod is pretty cool.

Yes Sotha Sil was a cyberpunk compared to the Dwemer. But then again the Dwemer as least according to certain mods are also cyber as well.
