Black_Chamber_: @DCDeacon Does the rain conjured from Dragon shouts/spells look different from the natural Skyrim weather system rain?

DCDeacon: @Black_Chamber_ Yes on shouts. You'll see a change when you cast it.

Well, this confirms the theory of the dragon shout rain being "magic", but we still don't know if regular rain goes through buildings....

It does, confirmed by a hands-on from eurogamer

Bah, if Minecraft can do it, I don't see why Skyrim can't...

Im fairly sure the way the rain is applied is the same both real and magic. The change spoken of is probably a noticable difference in the start of said magic rain and how it overall looks when compared to real rain, not that they are different systems.

And I would LOVE to be wrong about this because rain going through building is the last thing I was hoping they had fixed from Oblivion.

That doesn't prove anything. The Eurogamer demo is still the original Alpha Version of Skyrim. I'm Doubting that they fixed it, but optimism is always good.

Everyone throws around the alpha thing. I'm very sure they changed some things from the Alpha version, of course. But stuff like this? I just seem to relaly doubt it.

I can definitely see rain going through things it's just one of those things I think they've overlooked. I mean you'd think they wouldn't overlook it with Oblivion.
