A thread for all those things you realize about Skyrim while http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FridgeLogic. Spoiler warning because there will be spoilers.

FL: The gates of Whiterun have been closed because of the dragon attack...

...How is that going to stop a dragon? Won't it just stop vital trade that could help against the dragon? Flying dragons don't generally crawl through gates, after all.

FL: You can find out what effects ingredients have by turning them into potions...

...How do you know what effect(s) the potions have?

Question one, if a dragon might attack soon, why would you want more people prancing in ,don't go out because you'll be easy prey in the open plains, the people that are already in should hide in the safest fire-proof buildings/basemant.

Question two, because its a video game not a movie and fridge logic means nothing to the practicality of game play.

Answer one: The problem with that is, the lack of other preparations for seige. In all ways, it operates like an ordinary town...Except the gates have been closed. Granted, there might be more prep later.

Answer two: Well, I suppose we could go with the boring option...
