The Merciless Weather of Skyrim

You begin to notice a dull roar above you as you traverse the devastating landscape of the Northern Coast. You catch minor glimpses of what appears to be flames in the horizon; you’re unprepared. As the thundering roar approaches so does a merciless blizzard. You’re now trapped in a complete whiteout and to make things worse a dragon has already spotted you. Shielding your face from the violent hail snow mix you hear the deathly collapse of a nearby Mammoth.

Skyrim’s weather will be your greatest enemy; it will blind you, slow your movements and make you completely vulnerable to the wild. With the brand new weather system you’ll notice elements never seen before in an Elder Scrolls title. Wind blows flags and fire, rain floods the city streets, hail and snow limit visibility as well a character movement. Needless to say Skyrim’s weather system is absolutely awesome, the realism will stun you.

The weather of Skyrim adds a completely new element to combat and it will never be on your side. The weather you experience is determined by which part of Skyrim you happen to be exploring. The northern portion of Skyrim is plagued by hail and snow where as the southern tip is a rain haven. Prepare yourselves for the most realistic weather system to hit on 11.11.11.
