Skyrim Environment!

Post by ithinkmyveryhardest »

Skyrim hosts very unique landscapes and dungeons.
There are 5 major cities: Solitude, Riften, Whiterun, Windhelm and Markarth. (Windhelm being the largest.)
There are 8 or 9 smaller towns.
There are more than 150 dungeons, ranging from 15 minutes to 2 hours long. (unique)
There are over 100 points of interest across Skyrim. (including Giant camps, Necromancer lairs & Altars to different gods (Aedra and Daedra))
The areal is approximately the size of Oblivion's Cyrodiil, but the rugged landscape makes the world bigger, as you will need to go over or around mountains to get anywhere.
Traps and puzzles are used to make dungeons more interesting.
Fish jumps out of the water, and when swimming, you can even catch fish.
Birds flies in the air above you.
Every town has it's own Economic System. If you destroy a city's means of income, they'll need to buy from another nearby city, and prices in the city will go up or some products will not be available in that city at all.
Every big settlement has it's own unique culture & architecture.
Dwemer ruins are scattered across Skyrim.
High Hrothgar has 7000 steps.
Some locations will have enemies that are too strong for you, and you will have to come back when you are more powerful, while some places will have weaker enemies.
You can knock oil lamps to the ground or set fire to oil, which will then cause the ground to burn, and deal fire damage.
Butterflies will fly around flowers which can be picked for alchemical purposes.
The major cities are in their own cells, so to enter, a loading screen will appear.
There are hidden caves, hidden ships and secrets in the water.
The higher you climb, the more severe the weather gets.
There are rivers inside dungeons.
Some buildings can be destroyed, but are rare.
Dragons do not breathe fire, they 'shout' in their language
Dragons can appear at any moment

Anything i have missed out?

I like the water related secrets, always hoped to find something cool under the lakes, but there was never anything to find sadly.

It's the little things that will make this so epic. Like the weather getting harsher the higher you scale a mountain. That sorta stuff is new to me in gaming. I imagine there will me many a time where I go ...wait a sec...THAT. IS. AWESOME.

I doubt this feature will be an effect.
But what if the weather system causes an effect on your current health
For example if if gets very cold and if your not wearing the correct clothing for that condition you start to lose health.
Its not realistic enough if your wearing just underpants in the snow and its not effecting you.
(Like for example if your a vampire , sunlight effect.)

I doubt the game will be that hardcore, since they don't even include a hardcore mode (hunger/thirst so on)
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but my fireballs will utterly destroy you

^ some one can make a Realism Hardcore mod like this

- got to wear Proper clothing to protect from Severe Cold (or magic)
- Catch Sickness from the cold and or freeze eventually and die
- Bathroom system: got to pee and poo when you eat (lol)
- Eat/drink & sleep in order to keep full strength. (no more walking/running from one side of the map and the other with out loosing stamina and not get tired)
- and much more
