Morrowind talk:Dwemer Centurions

I'm replacing this entire page with a new layout, as a start towards redoing all the creature pages. It now includes all variants of the creature, while removing a great deal of redundant and/or useless information. The old info still exists in History, of course, so if there's any info that was removed which people feel should be reinstated, state your case here. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 11:59, 28 February 2007 (EST)

I added a few linkable entries for unique named ones. --Ratwar 12:19, 28 February 2007 (EST)

Steam centurions and Khajiits

It has been speculated that the shape of the Steam Centurion was based around that of the Khajiit, due to similarities in both the face and the stance of the construct when standing. This is highly unlikely, however, as the races never came into contact with one another, and the body and facial structure's similarities are most certainly a coincidence.

Is there a source for the assumed connection between the bots and the cats? And by source I mean something from in-game material or Tamrielic source pages, not just personal hypothesis (as interesting they may be). -85.179.216.102 07:52, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

Also worth noting is that, if Dwemer interacted with dunmer as much as Morrowind history leads us to believe, they WOULD have frequently encountered Khajiit and Argonian slaves. In addition, Redoran dunmer frequently forced their slaves to fight vicious beasts; were any Dwemer present, this would have given Khajiit a vicious reputation in their eyes. Therefore the statement "This is highly unlikely, however, as the races never came into contact with one another, and the body and facial structure's similarities are most certainly a coincidence." is completely invalid and I have removed it from the main article. It's still here, though, for painless reversion should I turn out to be terribly wrong. — Unsigned comment by 32.157.254.23 (talk) on 18 September 2008

I am so sorry! I saw the deletion without an edit summary, and I thought I checked the talk page, but apparently it was a different page I was looking at, so I'm sorry to have reverted it. As I really know nothing about the matter, I'll go ahead and re-revert it pending more discussion. --GuildKnight^Talk2me 23:56, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

I've gone and removed that assumption from the entry. Unless there is some in-game reference to this theory or one of the TES creators corroborates it, it doesn't belong here. -Meisterdieb 17:41, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Centurion Spider

Is it just oversight from the designers or is there more to the fact that alone of all the dwemer constructs the spider centurions in the Ald'Ruhn thieves' guild have souls? (Interestingly, some of the fabricants possess souls as well...) -85.179.216.102 07:57, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

Edited the note in the centurion spider section. To make it clear: no dwemer construct has a soul. ONLY the 2 spiders built in the Thieves' Guild in Ald'Ruhn (Quest "Scrap metal") do have one - for whatever reason...probably just an oversight. -Meisterdieb 18:43, 16 March 2009 (EDT)
