I think robots and automatons in the elder scrolls universe is OK as long as it's kept to very basic level automation. Like they're not hyper sentient advanced beings, just little worker spiders powered by a soul stone or a giant, slow moving bot with a hammer or a baliata attached to it. That way, if there was to be a more advanced robotic creature, it can be considered a boss or special enemy. And the fact that the dwemer are gone and aren't really making any more of them also keeps it within my limits of believability and enjoyment, in my opinion.
just found the channel, got back into the game about a week ago after taking a break for like 3 years, its really nice still seeing people make content off this game since its the only card game i really enjoy.
