Yeah, should have mentioned that from the start. It's an uncomfortable truth we cannot deny.

Reading MK lore, they already have space ships, space stations and mecha. If we add those in, it's not very favourable.

Also the time travelling Cyborg with a laser hand (Pelinal Whitestrake!)

Imagine a psionically gifted, highly intelligent Alien race that has no tech. If we attacked them and failed, we would be wiped out once they reverse engineer our stuff. Same applies here.

Another weakness for tech is that is can be reversed engineered, unless it's Magi-Tech. In fact, Tamriel scientists can make more advances than us, because they have an infinite power source, we don't.

Progressing to directed energy weapons for them is a piece of cake. For us, it's an engineering impossibility.
