Not exactly snow...

Elder scrolls series is known for the variety of game type you can play unlike the narrowminded and useless answer you gave me Dragonbone.

The point of the topic is the artistic richness of the game and I hope something more to see than just viking huts and pine trees.
New designs and architecture, beautiful landscape....
For or against i do not mind, and i've nothing against vikings, they are my cousins as I am from the celtic north also (lol for the ranting).

but give something usefull in reply (my 10 year old nephews are answering smarter things than that)
so Dragonbone plz stop shaming yourself in front of everyone with this weak level of answer.

Dragonbone is not shaming himself. He is telling the truth. If you don't like this kind of atmosphere, then, don't play the game.

I love the Scandinavian style of the game, so I'm gonna play it. And you must know that Northern Europe is something more than snow and snow (look for "fjord" un Google and you will see what in my opinion are some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world) . I would prefer to go there than to a "Caribbean beach".

I really want them to get snow right. clear nights with a full moon should be bright and blue-hued as the moonlight bounces off the fallen snow, cloudy nights really dark. Harsh snowstorms and tramnquil flurries. But most of all, there is no such thing as a snowy sky texture. Even the lightest snow limits visibility to much less than is required to see clouds. Artistically, winter is harder to get right than any other season, and lighting is a big part.

I just hope they get it spot one. but then again, there are all things mods can fix.

Don't worry, it won't be all snow.

I'd say, let's keep the tropics for Elsweyr. If Bethesda ever translates it into a full game, THEN we'll see Caribbean influences. Until then, it's snow and mountains. :wink_smile:
