Bright cheerful worlds where all is well and not much happens tend to be more boring then the whole "the End is nigh! We need a hero!" thing

The weather isn't a problem, but the lack of a computer is. ^_^
All in all it would just be like living at my family's summercottage all year-round. When I think about it all four seasons is something Skyrim is lacking, and therefore I'd think twice before deciding to live there.

Live in a world where death is literally right outside the door. No.

I wouldn't mind opening up a little Imperial bookshop in Solitude :read: I could easily travel by ship back to Cyrodiil, and also make frequent trips to the more civilized lands of nearby High Rock.

Within Skyrim though... I wouldn't venture past Dragonbridge :spotted owl:

No freaking way. In fact I wouldn't want to live in just about any fantasy world I've encountered in any game. (wouldn't mind living in the Star Trek universe though -- that looked pretty nice for the most part.).

About Skyrim:

1. It's incredibly dangerous. I've died many times in that game. Real life is permadeath. Die once and you're done.

2. Did you notice how everyone lives? Good luck even finding a flush toilet in Skyrim. I'm sorry but I'm used to having a nice comfortable home with two baths, three bedrooms, Internet connection, electricity, running water, and CENTRAL HEAT. Besides that I like regular medical and dental care, teflon, cars, computer games and a balanced diet.

3. In real life I NEVER have to worry about some dragon swooping down and trying to roast me before breakfast.

4. Even though I live in Chicago which is known (rightly) for it's corruption. It's nothing like what I saw in Skyrim.

Come to think of it, I haven't even seen toilet paper (I don't know what they use but maybe that explains why they're always looking for a fight).

No night clubs, tv or internet. The food svcks, the people are ugly inside and out, it's freezing cold and there's a 90% chance of being stabbed, sacrificed or eaten in the first week alone.

I'm sorry - I seem to have mislayed my train ticket...

Uhh if i had all my gear and perks yes
as i am now
Hell no i stole/killed/shot in the knee then healed so many people i would be gone first time i walked in to town and the bum would say
i know you your the one who every time you give me a septum you punch me in the nuts, and knife me
yeah life expec. 5 min with out all my game stuff
with all my game stuff
hell yeah im rich famous infamous
but i would end up killing cerico (sp) i cant do any DB after quests cause he is their " Lets kill some one" i would not be able to resist

I hate snow :[

Absolutely, it's stunning and interesting. A small hunters cabin somewhere between Whiterun and Riften for me please!

LMAO. nice.

Even without the fantasy aspect (I.e. no magic, no dragons, etc.) I would still love to live at a time like this. You would know all your neighbors and be on mostly friendly terms. If anything bad happened the whole town would pitch in to help. None of this junk now like being stuck in a house and unable to move. Everything could be either grown, hunted for or bartered. Sure I could get robbed, beaten or killed but that's just as much of a chance to happen now in the real world as back then.

No, I'd rather live in the warmer southern climate of Cyrodiil, probably Cheydinhal.

i wouldnt.
im afraid ill be sent into space by a giant

I looooove the cold. And if I could be a Dunmer and move to Morrowind..

Hell yes.

Maybe if we didn't go around shooting people in the knees with arrows Skyrim wouldn't seem so dangerous

***looks around at the Minnesota terrain***

I could deal as long as the Skyrim football team was competent.

I would gladly live in The Rift. The Birch trees and autumnal colors are beautiful.

> Would you ever want to live in Skyrim?

Probably not. I'm thinking I might end up like one of people in a Necromancer cage waiting for experimentation.

Yeah, it is a tad depressing. Too cold and windy, too much snow, ice, and rock. Where are the beaches, the forests and jungles, the lush GREEN vegetation? It's like playing Northrend in WoW most of the time.

On the other hand try playing the original Doom and Skyrim will suddenly seem far more temperate!

In fact compared to living in England at this time of year (LOL) I would rather hibernate and play Skyrim. I will emerge toward the end of March

As much as I love the game, I started to really think about it the other day and I'd never in a million years want to live there. Such a gloomy life, I'd end up hanging myself within 10 days.

i would bore myself to death

yeah i like to get my monies worth evenin video games any one want a septum? i got new gauntlets that ive been...... well you dont want to know that..........

It is kind of reminiscent of Northrend...specifically Dragonblight. Only 100000x more beautiful. On high end machines though, WoTLK style was AMAZING. Crystalsong Forest + Ulduar ftw.

I would be at home in the mountins, with my M40A1 of course.
I would take out Ulfric with a shot to the voice box.
