Do you think the Era setting for skyrim was a good choice? It's set in 4E201.

I personally feel it was a good choice, however I would have enjoyed a game that was set during the Great war, either at the beginning or somewhere during the end of the conflict would have been quite appealing to me.

I think it would have been intresting seeing the Great war through your characters perspective.

It's good where it is.

Earlier, because as it is everything is kind of ruined and destroyed: see Winterhold, Whiterun's stonewall, Imperial forts, general shrines, etc. Don't get me wrong, I like to see ruins but I'd like it more if I could see more of them as they used to be in their golden periods.
