I got an idea, by looking at the map i'd say that 30-40 % of the map is mountainous, where there are mountains there is usually snow, or a rugged alpine climate, but what if landscaping extended to underground as well, what if the nords of skyrim decided to tunnel underground as well, admittedly your map (GHE) does give some relief, however it is still largely apline and tundra, could we have more climate and landscape differences if they went underground as well?

Beautiful, now all we need are pictures of swamps or marshes

Well as long as the terrain is different than cyrodills.

This is probably going to be locked because it "should be discussed on the official thread", but oh well worth a try...

So Cyrodiil's terrain was for the most part rolling meadows and such; pretty easy to get from A to B. Vvardenfell was smaller than Cyrodiil but felt bigger because it's difficult terrain made it difficult to traverse the province

Most maps of Tamriel just suggest mountains scattered about, but of course the specifics aren't set in stone. I personally think there should be a massive mountain range cutting through Skyrim (either east-west or north-south). Oblivion had mountains but they were pretty small, and if you ever reached the top, you would have to just turn around because you couldn't go down the other side. In Skyrim this mountain range would provide a really cool obstacle that you would have to travel through in order to get to the other half of the province. And there should be multiple mountain passages with dangerous creatures that would make it difficult to get through for low level characters.

That's just my idea, what are your's?

Mhm. I really want Skyrim to feel more dangerous and hostile. When I went exploring in oblivion, I always felt safe and at home, because I could always see at least one of the cities in the distance. When I go adventuring in Skyrim I want to actually feel a sense of danger; because, after all, I am in the wilderness in the midst of wild beasts. That would make the safe places, that is the towns and cities, much more valuable.

Skyrim fits perfectly for that, though you never know.

The fact that the entire landscape felt rounded in OB made for a large portion of the safe feeling. If the ground is more jagged, with cliffs and sharp mountains, it will already be a lot better.
Then visibility could be hindered by low hanging clouds or the dense pine forest you happen to wander.

Real Time Seasons
Winter should be snow white EVERYWHERE.
Spring should be white in high areas but no snow in low areas.
Summer should have no snow except in very high areas.
Autumn (known as fall in America) Should be white for half the time, but a reddy white usually.

Yes that would be great for the game but i wonder how it would affect the NPC's behavior

I would love steep mountain ranges that force you to take narrow, twisting paths down into misty valleys filled with hot springs and lush green vegetation, eclipsed by the massive elevations around you. Something similar to Entius Gorge for Oblivion.

Arghhh! Why have the above posted images not came up? Is it just my laptop?

Either way, copy and paste the info into your browsers - You'll get the jist of what I mean.
