Looking at videos and screenshots, Skyrim seems unrelentingly gloomy. The most sunshine I could find was in http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/ForestHunt_wLegal.jpg. Will the sun ever shine down in its unabashed clear sky Arizona on the 4th of July glory? Another way of putting it, will the clouds and mist clear out every once in a while for some variety and contrast? I'm all for atmosphere and mood, but wouldn't want Dhovakiin to get http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder Not a big deal. Just curious.

Skyrim was intended to look rugged and cold- just like the homeland of the nords should look. But in my opinion- the sun will shine from time to time.

skyrims supposed to look dark and barbaric

Go above the clouds.

There's your blue sky.

I'm British. Just looks similar weather to what i'm used too...yup dull and gloomy

Hahaha, amen to that.

A bit of Skyrim Summer Sky for you so won't fall into a depressive state before the game release

Thanks! Feeling better already. Looks like I won't need the Psychiatrist's Guild after all -- unless 150 dungeons worth of darkness drive me to madness.
