what i miss are those ashpiles with armor laying around in Dwarven holds in Morrowind, that shows where the guards stood when they poofed away.

most of the dwarven holds feels more like big factories/malls, not ordinary homes.

where did the farmers live? the soldiers? where did the merchants ply their trade? everything is factories, auditoriums, pumpstations and whatnot, no ordinary homes or markets.
The dwemer still lived during the same periods as other races, and presumably existed while the early Nedic peoples were still alive. So they could have easily traded food with them?

I mean, why not just relegate inferior pursuits to less advanced civilizations and leave all superior dwemer to work to achieve technological mastery? The dwemer clearly were a decadent leisure class, seeing some of the special torture rooms with balcony and chairs at the top for viewing. They had no longer the need for manual labour and other mundane work.

Yeah, but we don't run around in groups of hunter-gatherers to do it, amirite, knight?
And we don't leave carcasses with embedded weapons littering the landscape.

Anyway, aren't those items leveled? A dozen pages ago someone posted a pic of a lake where there's rock in the middle of it containing a skeleton holding a sword, and the sword is either Iron or Dwarven depending on your level. I'd say those were probably just iron arrows that turned into dwarven.

Using dwemer arrows doesn't make one dwemer. Just sayin'.
Besides, a decadent race might've had reasons other than sustenance to shoot an animal (e.g. weapons tests or entertainment).

Then again, it's a Bethesda game - one can never rule out dwemer in fur straps running after a mammoth, shaking spears and yelling incoherently...

Besides every Dwemer hold I explored was already looted by Falmer and Scientific expeditions, so no suprise the gear was sparse. Skyrim not as isolated as Red Mountain and area inside Ghostfence was.
