I'm not big on history, my friend. But facts are facts.

I disagree with your Medieval era theory, and lets end it at that.

(But I am up for a discussion if you so wish to PM me)

There are mods that put in a version of what you are talking about, but that fit the time period. The idea about a gun is basically an enchanted arrow, and although the end effect looks cooler then being shot a well placed arrow can still cause serious damage and even kill the target. The Akatosh Dragon Mod allows for you to have essentially a very fast flying horse. So although it isn't a car, it's more like a moderately slow jet.

And people don't have armor anymore in modern times. There are no undead normally found that are harmful to you (lol) and you won't encounter minotaurs if you are driving from a city to another city. So the way that the game has been developed prevents it from working well with a modern theme.

Well, the mythical creatures doesn't take that away. Look at Shadowrun. It is set in the present, but contains Elfs, Dwarves, and Trolls.

I just don't think guns would work, period. Guns have their place in actual shooters. This, being not a shooter, should not have guns. Magic and arrows are fine.

You dont want RPG's to become shooters... sorry my friend crossbow is all you are gonna get

btw ever thought of when gunpowder was invented?

Well I guess I should've said a game like elder scrolls. I agree keep making fantasy ES games but I wish we could see such freedom in other types of games.

Or even the Wheel. This is not like a typical real midevil game or real life midevil. It has made up races that wouldn't be real and magic and stones like Varla and Welkynd. So no on the guns and new things. This is Elder Scrolls.

Well my suggestion was that Oblivion would be better if it was the same as it is, exept that you had low accuracy antique pistols and maybe muskets (See first page).

I'm not saying it need high-tech cars or guns. Just that it would be nice to see that sort of gun. I think it would fit in well and wouldn't look out of place.

This has to an extent already been done, by Bethesda for that matter; go play Fallout. But high-tech/futuristic things being seen in an actual Elder Scrolls game would completely blur out and dumb down the amazing lore and storyline spread around in the games. I would be depressed to even see old fashioned guns in a TES game.

But it's not about when, because it is in a different universe. When, for example was the first Varla stone discovered? It wasn't. Only in Oblivion.

Oblivion has it's own history. So in that sense, gunpowder could have been invented before iron was found.

They could make a spin off in the form of a completely different game that takes in the Stalker style current age RPG FPS hybrid. But they would never destroy the integrity of their series by adding guns. I really doubt it. I mean I really, reeeeaaly doubt it.

IMO Modern Elder scrolls would suck it should stay swords and arrows, putting guns in would ruin the atomosphere

Seriously, if Elder Scrolls has guns it would be like in the first Indiana Jones movie when the guy with the sword comes out and everybody is like,huh. Then he takes out his pistol and shoots him. Bad idea for TES.

Very Bad
