And they can't copy our tech, these fuckers haven't made any improvement to crossbows two hundred years after we see them in Morrowind. Hell, they're not even using them except for a small group of vampire hunters. And they were originally made by the Dwemer sometime before or during the first era, so it's actually a lot longer than two hundred years. we took 3 million years to go from sticks to even basic weapons, so....

Their world only existed for at most 8000 years lel It depends on how you start counting time in TES. Since the Merethic Era doesn't have any records of years, it could have lasted millions of years for all we know. There is also the Dawn Era before that. S we actually have no idea how long Mundus has existed.

If the Dwemer were still around I think Tamriel would've at least passed the Industrial Age already. I mean the Dwemer already had Steam power, robots, airships, all they needed was guns and they were practically there already. But they're not around. And magic based Industrial age still wouldn't let them understand non magic based space age tech.

The Dwemer can make robots to guard their cities that still work thousands of years later without maintenance. They are smarter than us humans.
