Skyrim's a cold, snowy place, but there will be plants, of course.

I'm expecting a few familiar plants & hopefully a few new ones

Pine trees and mammoths!

I like the idea of alchemy corresponding with seasons and weather.

I would enjoy this

Hopefully we'll get to see all new creatures that are native solely to Skyrim, like alit/kagouti in Morrowind. I'm fine with having real world animals in the game, but I don't want to play Bland Snowy Medieval RPG.

There are volcanic tundras (Iceland) And Fall forests as well.

Hoping for lots of nice Alpines :nod:

I loved the way Oblivion alchemy worked, and would spend hours just wandering about collecting reagents for potions - quite relaxing.

I hope for more, BGS knows alchemy and made collecting flora fun.
