The first time I saw Ivarstead (?) my jaw dropped. I came to the river and looked up and up and up... just wow.

Exploring much more with my new character.

oh shut up its beautiful. downer

Even though Skyrim doesn't have a top-notch graphics, I must agree that the wilderness really svcked me in, I feel like I'm really there, and of course, the weather, the day/night shift, these are really the strong points of Skyrim.

Yeah if you shout to much in a town the guard will do that. But there is no punishment if you continue to shout.

Cheers

good post my favorite area is the far north where the area becomes so artic , with its marooned ships black of night winter feel, and of course glaciers

Idk but are there areas that are like an amazon jungle or a dense forest. Any area with loads of trees? Like the woods or something. Also there arnt any deserts lol or massive areas with knee high grass or a savana. Would love to see all those areas and if they are in the game dont tell me where there located.


The weather changes way too quick. I havent yet been in a lightning storm. They could also add weather hazords like hail, tornados, super gusty winds that make it horrible to use a bow. They should add more natural stuff like rain causes certian areas to flood a bit and that water goes away in due time. Also snow areas were blizzerds could happen and players might get frezee effects or gain debuffs like hypothermia.
Also other factors like adding certian animal fur to armor for protection against the cold to armors or make alter armors to work better in certian conditions. Would be amazing if that was introduced.

Natural things like earthquakes and other stuff could be introduced as well which would make the game better tenfold.

I have not been to these places - I have only about 40 minutes of play under my belt .... however thanks to this thread I have made a note to stop by these areas and see for myself. So far compaired to TES IV: Oblivion I have been blown away by the look and feel of the world beth has created for Skyrim and am hoping that the engine will age more gracefully this time round.

The only thing I need is a cloudy sky, rain and thunder. That's the only weather I need.

not sure if you count it as weather but when im near the mountains and the northen lights cover the sky in the middle of the night, loooks so damn beautiful, always wanted to see the northen lights in real life, but cant due to where i live, so its nice to see them look so good in a game, weather wise i like the light snowfall, still wateing for a thunderstorm, used to love them in oblivion

canadian born: I had the honor to work with the Catholic Church in Yellowknife and got to see the northern lights. It was an amazing sight!(and sound ) Definitely made up for the 24/7 sunlight in the summer!

Also a natural feel of animals hunting in pack wouldnt hurt. So far every time i meet a sabertooth its alone and then another comes after i kill the first and dont these animals ever have babys walkig around with them? Also would be freaking awesome to see a group of bandits, werewolfs, animals, and others trying to take over camps and towns as a pack or team. Would be totaly realistic to see some random town taken over by savage werewolfs and when you come by they try to hunt yo ass down. Would be nice to see a bear infested camp. Idk needs mkre natural feel.

Saw those one time effing amazing.

man u lucky son of a [censored] lol, they make sound?, never knew that, what do they sound like?

I love it when im walking around the glaciers and the northern lights show up, I have taken like 30 photos of them, they just look so beautiful.
