So i was playing skyrim earlier and decided to see how long an hour in game would compaire to real time. And after waiting a few mins this is what i got

1 hour in game is = to about 4 mins in real time

so then after that i decided to see how long 1 day would compaire to real time and this is what i got for that.

4 mins times 24 =96
or 4
x 24
-------
96

so 1 day in game is = to about 96 mins 1:36 mins in real time

The next thing i did was to finde out how long 1 day in real time would compaire to time in game

96 times 15 equals 1440
or 96
x 15
------
1440

then i divided 1440 by 60 and got 24
or 1440
* 60
----------
24

So if you were to spend 1 day of real time in Nirn you would end up being there for about 15 days
(IRT) = in real time


2 days IRT = 1 month in Nirn
3 days IRT = a month and a half
1 week IRT = 3 and a half months in Nirn
2 weeks IRT = 6 and a half months in NIrn
3 weeks IRT = 10 months in Nirn
1 month IRT = 1 year 3 months and 13 days


so my whole point of this is if you could say open a portal to Nirn and go there when ever you wanted and train in what ever style of combat you would like ( like mage warrior or thief ) and then what ever you learn you would be able to use it in the real world for what ever perppuse you wanted WOULD YOU?

or would you just go there to get the training and just kinda live there of a sorts and just explore and learn more of the history of Nirn as if it were an actual place and by that i would mean that there would be so much more than what we will ever know about the world of the elder scrolls than what we will ever get from the wikki or IL

You DO realize that Nirn time is actually conveniently the same as Earth time, with 24 hours to a day, and time gets scaled down because land mass is scaled down in an effort to make it slightly less weird to walk across an area the size of Texas in 15 minutes?

What Rekharid said. The timescales in the games aren't even consistent. It also serves the purpose of providing a bit of variety for the player so they don't spend real hours in daytime or nighttime.

i know that but think of it as some thing like the chronicles of narnia with the whole no time passes on earth while there in Narnia. so pretty much what i'm saying is if you did go to nirn time would go and be exactly like it is in the real world except that if you were to go there for say an hour and then come right back you would in all actuality only have been gone for 4 mins even tho you were on nirn for an hour.


so let me make an example and i'm just choosing this to make my point lets say your in collage and you have lets say 15 min to get to class in tern in your SA but you haven't started yet you could use your portal to nirn to go there write you SA and lets say it takes you 2 hours to finish it and when you get back to earth you would have only been gone for 8 mins and you still have 7 mins to get to class left before you have to get to class


now i'm not saying that thats what you would actually use it for i mean i actually need to i gues you could but do get the point tho

read my poste above

another example lets say your really weak ang get your ass kicked all the time but now you can go to and from nirn when ever you like and decide to spend an entire month IRT over in Nirn so you can learn how to fight and aslo you stuff like get into shape and build muscle so while your only gone on earth for a month you would now have a year and 3 months and 13 days of training and working out to come back to earth with and ether just wait for some one to try and kick your ass or go strait for them as soon as your back


is this one better or was this one not needed ???

really not even one person likes this idea ??????? come on even if you don't i would like your feed back on the idea

That's kinda irreverent, you can get to Narnia from Earth.

You can't get to Nirn from Earth, so it can't be compared.

And the timescales are just a gameplay thing, they have nothing to do with the actual world.

um i know that you can't actually get there thats why the question was IF YOU COULD GO THERE and i already explained the time scale thing but i'll say it again

so IF you could go to nirn once there the time would be like how time is here and work the same way but like i siad while on earth it would work just like it does in the games meaning that 1 hour on nirn would only be 4 mins on earth

so again 1 hour on nirn would be 1 hour in time the same as 1 hour in real life there would be a 24 hour day that would last as long as a 24 hour day in real life but like i said think of it as the chronicals of narnia when there there no time at all passes so when they get back no one even knew that they left but in this case were going on how the time scale works in game


so in real life if a month were to pass you would wind up being on nirn for 1 year and 3 months and 13 days



so once again this is a WHAT IF question so i know you can't actually go there so stop telling me that when you say that you can't go there and the time scale wouldn't be like that on nirn i know this and your not answering my questiopn



the question was if you could go there would you train in what ever style ( magic combat or stealth ) and then being able to use what you learned when you go back to earth would you or would just kinda live there and train so you could explore the world and learn there history because if you were to go to the actual nirn there would be so much more lore and history than what we know right now from the wikki's


so if you post has nothing to do with the those questions don't even bother posting because i know all that and i explaned it already

so give me a yes i would go there to train si i could use it back on earth or i would just kinda live there for a while to learn there history or no i would not do that some thing along those lines pleas and no more telling me that it can't happen or that the time scale wouldn't be like that on nirn just answer the question

I would be tempted to go there and not come back. In the modern world, I don't really have much opportunity for heroic adventure. In Tamriel I would be able to live and die by the sword (hopefully not die, but I'd be willing to accept the risk) without having to worry about getting mowed down by machine guns or being assassinated by a missile strike.

I guess I would still have to worry about magical explosions ruining my day, but I guess I could try to gain the loyalty of an Alteration mage for magical protection.

And I guess if things got really hairy for me in Tamriel I could escape back to Earth while I wait for things to blow over.

yeah see that why i would spend most of the time at first just traning in magic and 1 handed combat then i would learn how to duel weild while i was at it then i would learn bound sword while also learning a lot about resteration magic

so in terms of skills from skyrim i would want to learn 1 handed, hand to hand ( even tho its not in game ), destruction, illusion , resteration, conjeration and alteration those would be my mane skills that i would want to learn

and yeah if some [censored] started going down that was way beuond me then i would just come back here until it was cooled down just like you said

Nirn has a calendar. With days. And weeks. And months.

Gameplay time isn't realistic.

I posted before you did, why would you have to tell me to read something posted afterwards? If I wasn't going to read that, why would I read this? Anyway... yeah, if you want to imagine that's how it is, go ahead, have fun, I don't see what the point is since it isn't like that, and can't be, since the timescales change between games as I've already stated so there's obviously no accurately represented conversion rate, even if we were to assume you could get between these universes, which has never been vaguely suggested, but of course you are free to imagine if you want. Would I go there? Yeah, sure.

The timescale in the game is easily changed, at least in Morrowind and Oblivion. The .ini file has a setting for timescale at 30, where 1 minute of real time equals 30 minutes in-game. Changing that one value can make time move faster or slower. I prefer a setting of 8, where 3 hours of real itme = one game day, so my character can wake up when I start my evening game session, go through a bit of exploration over the course of his or here in-game day (2+ hours real-time gaming, plus breaks and menu pauses), and then furn in for the night about the time that I'm winding down myself.

Setting it to 1 will give you an Earth-like timescale, with a full 24 hours of gameplay each game day (unless the character sleeps).

dragonbon i was talking about the post i put up right after yours talking about how it would be kinda like the chronicals of narnia ok first off why does any of what your saying matter when it has nothing to do whit what i was asking. when the time scale of what i came up with is what it would there was no point in saying well the time scale isn't actually like that yes i know this but thats not my point. my point is that if you you could go to nirn with that time scale would you. so when you say thatit has nothing to do with any thing because thats what i came up with for this question not for you to question the time scale now i'm probably saying the same [censored] overe and over here but it doesn't seem to be getting through to you that the question is if you could go to nirn with that time scale. and its not like the days there would be only 1:36 mins they would be a full 24 hours the things is if you decided to stay there for a full 24 hours then in real time only an 1:36 mins would have passed that is my time scale and theres no debating it cause i didn't ask you to ok i'm dun now hopefully you can get what i'm saying and that this is only a what if question and not a matter of reality on how time scales and any of that [censored] would actually work

Just seems kinda pointless to make a long and detailed post about how the timescale works in TES and do all the mathematics to work out how the conversion rate between that and the real world would work out if you know it's not really like that at all and the thread could really be one sentence long ("If TES was like Narnia and you could travel there and spend, say one month and come back and it's only 2 days later, would you do...?"), just as effective, and less likely to make everyone tell you that's not how it works. Carry on though.

If I could go to Nirn, you wouldn't be seeing my posts here on the internet.

Anything about relative timescales between a game and reality is a pointless exercise in speculation. In fact, there are more meaningful discussions about relative time differences, because it DOES occur in reality, to a very limited extent.

According to Einstein's theories of Relativity and its subsequent extensions, time actually "slows" as you approach the speed of light, so travelling at near-light-speed to another star system and back could actually make time elapse more slowly than for those who stayed behind. If you made the trip, it might take you 20 years of your life, only to find that 50 years had gone by on Earth, and everyone you remember was either long gone or far older than you.

I have no problem going there. Just click on that little thingie on the screen.

with or with out the out the time scale thing i would love to go there and just explore the world and lern things along the way like magic. and like i said you would be able to keep what ever you learned on nirn when you come back to earth i would love to be able to cast a spell to turn invisible and other spells like calm or fear that would just be great if you were say about to get in a fight that you know you would get your ass kicked in and just cast a calm spell on the guy who wants to kick your ass. its little things like that for what i ment when i said being able to learn things on nirn and come back to earth with it. not like what some one else said that they didn't have any use for being a hero in the real world.
