Also, it may seem like a silly question, but does the date have any bearing on weather or surroundings? I could be just noticing them more, but I could swear i'm seeing a lot more red and brown leaved trees as I play in the 'fall' months. It also seems to be raining constantly. I'm probobly just seeing something that isn't there though. I can't see Bethesda coding in changings seasons. If nothing chnages I might not even bother changing the date back.
Edit: Darn, can't correct my typo.
