Why? For one, the Dwemer aren't your typical dwarves. They're just refered to as such because it's a kind of short hand. Imagine the consequences of their return on the face of Nirn. Also remember, similar discussions were happening when Skyrim was nearing completion and Bethesda said there would be dragons in it. "But all the dragons died!" Yeah, well, apparently death is only a minor inconvenience to dragons.

And just imagine the epicness of the story. If it took place just 300 years after Skyrim, the Dwemer would be reappearing in the world over 4000 years after their dissapearance. Imagine the fighting over lands. Imagine the possible stories! What if they just jumped forward in history? What if they have been on an alternate version of Nirn this whole time without anyone else? What if this event is, in fact, a massive Dragon Break spanning multiple ages? We've already seen 2, TES:2 was a giant Dragon Break, and Alduin being cast forward in time was another. So I ask again, why would this be 'jumping the shark' any more then 'Whoever is the best at PVP in TES:Online will be crowned Emperor'?
