What is your favorite climate to walk in?

Post » Sat Jul 07, 2012 4:05 pm

Like the title says, do you llike those sunny cloudless areas around Whiterun, or the deep snow areas like Winterhold? Or something else?
Personally, I really enjoy walking through a forest while it's rainy and it's foggy out. Really aesthetically pleasing and the soundtrack just adds to the atmosphere.

full sunlight when you can see long distances clearly and at night with the aurora lights of any color.

Winterhold, blizzards.

I also like the gloomy, misty forests of Falkreath Hold however and the autumn forests of The Rift. I really enjoy walking through glaciers though, listening to the creaking and groaning of the ice, that sound effect was inredibly effective at immersing me in the environment.

Clear skies, sunny, in the rift. And it must be 6 to 7 am. :)

Cold, grey, and snowy does it for me. That's one of the reasons I first fell for Daggerfall; the snowy desolation of an Illiac Bay winter called to me. It extends to just about any game, really.

And, unlike in reality, I don't have to shovel any of it.

The auroras are truly stunning, I find myself staring at them when I get the chance :)

My favorite areas are the ones with the brightly colored trees, especially on a clear day.

Foggy and rainy days in the hilly, dark forested areas make me feel right at home though. :tongue:

I can never stray too long into the winterlands. I get quite enough ice and snow up here in Canada, thankee much! I love the perpetual green of Whiterun, the yellows and oranges of Riften. Soft sunlight ending in a night of auroras so beautiful they border on surreal - now that's my idea of a perfect day.

I was greeted by an aurora on my first night in Skyrim. I love walking in the Rift on a bright and sunny day. Oh, and I love the blizzards, too. Oh, and the thunderstorms! Wait, that means I love it all, huh? :tes:

Rainy days, clear nights, far away from the snow and ice. I hate the cold. I will visit the chillier looking areas on especially hot days, though. It's been over 100 degrees Fahrenheit here lately so I've been hanging out closer to Winterhold.

Bethesda really nailed the blizzards, though. Very poor visibility and you can practically feel the wind cutting like a blade.

Blizzards first, then some of those nights where the aurora is in full swing.

I love all of them.

The Fall Forests around Riften are great when it's clear skies. A cloudy windy day on the Tundra near Whiterun is awesome. A misty day around Falkreath, or a Blizzard around Winterhold. I don't think there is one weather type that I don't find awesome. I get lost in all of them. :D

Too good of a job, really. It dredges up some unpleasant memories for me so I try to avoid them.

Blizzard conditions and also, when it's raining, the forests around Riverwood. So awesome.

I really love the view on top of the College at this time, and when the auroras are out :D

The area full of pools between Windhelm and Riften when it's sunny.

Gotta go with the forest atmosphereof the northern Reach I love the entire area around dragon's bridge, especially when it is raining.
