  Ben, I think mixing in technology with magic in fantasy realms would make it more interesting then a generic one. Think of Magiscience, you could have magically powered spaceships, basically metal boats with a hood, or magically enhanced automatic crossbows.

  From what I understand, I don't like it. Then again, I don't understand much of it.

  So everything in the ES universe is God's dream? What do androids have to do with it? Anu and Padomay are part of the dream, too? And what about the Dwemer?

  Elder Scrolls is awfully meta, and by meta I mean breaks the fourth wall.

  We're supposedly residing in the dream of Anu. After Nirn dies and Padomay is thrown out of existence (it has been postulated he was tossed from yet another dream of a previous dreamer), Anu curled up in a sun and went to sleep.

  This sparks another Amaranth, a big bang that is also a dream (as in, created from the mind of another) which creates the Aedra and Daedra we know and so on. Anu and Padomay/Sithis in this Amaranth aren't conscious entities but forces, memories of the real Anu and Padomay. They're also recreated in Auriel and Lorkhan.

  But this Amaranth is one of pain and loss, because that's what sparked Anu to sleep. Lorkhan knows this, or learns this, and sets about finding a way to recreate Amaranth. For whatever reason, he can't or won't, so he comes up with Mundus as an endless test from which one day a being will arise who can reach Amaranth.

  Dwemer don't know of this. They resent Lorkhan and his trick, and want to return to the Stasis they knew as gods before creation. So they created Numidium to unmake the world, and force themselves back into godhood. They failed miserably.

  Androids and whatnot are comments poking at some of Kirkbride's C0da, I think. But there are really weird bits of existing Lore in-games, like astronauts during the Second Era and radios.
