Nope, it's a game. To expect dynamic seasons is ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous, but it's no biggie either.

No, it's not set on Earth. As far as I know, Nirn doesn't have seasons.

It's not dynamic seasons I want. I just think a forest that has fall color all the time is strange. Leaves change color in the fall for a reason, photosynthesis just doesn't work as well with yellow and orange leaves.

If your going to play a fantasy game in a fantasy world, you need to be able to suspend disbelief. :wink_smile:

Suspension of disbelief; just like how it might be hard to imagine people walking around shooting fire out of their hands.

As for realism, it's a game, not a simulator. The story is meant to take place during the fall season of Tamriel.

What about Swamps then, they really don't fit in. Peat Bogs would have been more realistic.

I'm no lore junkie, so this may be wholly wrong, but; From what I gathered from the various books and whatnot, the seasonal shifts on Nirn are very mild, which would indicate the planet has little to no wobble on it's axis and a very regular orbital path around the sun. Additionally, the Moons don't change location in their paths, which would also support this.

So seasons would be different by a matter of small degrees, rather than Earth, which has dramatic seasonal shifts varying by latitude. In Nebraska for example, summer is 100+ with 90+ humidity,while winter is below freezing with blizzards. Where I grew up in California however, the seasons were marked only by a slight temperature difference and more rain. Christmas stuff in stores? Must be winter, etc.
