What Timescale do you play on?

Post » Fri Feb 21, 2014 12:48 am

Over 700 hours and I had set my timescale to 10 because I felt like days went by too fast, but now I am thinking I should go back to default... the main reason, I don't like how I can ride my horse from one end of Skyrim to the other in 3 hours game time... traveling between major cities should at least take half a day even when racing to get there right?...

I think my Immersive Needs mod will let me set a different indoor scale so maybe 20 outside and 6-10 inside?

I play on the default timescale. I want to make it so 1 real minute = 1 ingame minute but I don't know if it will mess stuff up.

I have my timescale set to 10. It does mean you can ride a long way in a day, but it is so much better than the default 20 (which is way too fast IMO) that I'm willing to put up with a seemingly "smaller" Skyrim. To combat it, I take my time when riding between cities by not galloping the whole time and by stopping to do things along the way.

I play on 10 as well. It doesn't feel to fast like vanilla but it doesn't feel to slow either.

If I remember correctly it only messes everything up if you put it at zero.

For example if you put the timescale to 0 time freezes and your game won't load properly

1. I do this because when I take shots of my French girl I need the day to last as much as it can not miss the perfect light, reflections, ec. Impressionism style. The funny thing is that if I travel from one end to the other Skyrim feels like an island. It always do, btw. In fact the map's actually quite small.

I use 10, to match the scale I use in Oblivion. I don't like how fast it takes to get from city to city, but it's better than sneaking through a house, and finding that you don't have enough time to do what you need to do because of the speed of Tamriel time.

As a console-user, I pretty much have only one choice.

Skyrim's day time is pretty decent. In Red Dead Redemption ever day progresses so quickly you can see shadows moving fast. All GTA games have that problem.

Whatever the default was. I don't fiddle with game settings much unless I feel like they're broken/horribly weird.

I've read that setting the timescale less than 6 will start to mess up quests. I've heard from a lot of people who play on 8 with no problems. Personally, I like 10.

Default, but that's only because I discovered this feature a few months ago. Haven't tried it yet.

20. In their previous games it used to be 30, so they slowed down time for Skyrim.

I always use 12 in Bethesda's games. 5 real seconds is one game minute, 5 real minutes is one game hour, 1 hour is 12 hours, 2 hours is one day. It just fits :happy:

20/default because who cares.

I sometimes up it to 9 million when I wanna skip like 5 years in the blink of an eye.
