Seasons would be extra cool far enough north. You'd get days that were mostly night or day. Seasons that would be heaven or hell for vampires (for mechanical perspective). Since the Burning of King Olaf was supposed to be yearly, that'd be a good one for a time limit too.

Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

Okay, admittedly, you could get some crazy 30 Days of NIght action with that taken into consideration; that'd be pretty awesome.

Quote from: Ninja D!
Also, the home of the Altmer IS the Summerset Isle(s?). The Aldmeri Dominion or whatever seems to be their new government. It's sort of like Cyrodil and Skyrim are part of the Empire.

Actually, the Thalmor is the name of their Governing body, Aldmeri Dominion is the name of their Country and Summerset Isles is the name of a constituent nation in the Dominion. However, the Altmer re-christened their isles with the name "Alinor" after the (re-)creation of the Dominion. Calling their land Summerset is a dig at the High Elves because it evokes the memory of Imperial control (much like the name High Elf does).

I've been playing an stealth archer and having fun with that. Choosing perks is rough though, as even for that build I find Enchanting and Smithing have a lot to offer.

It seems to me that the smithing perks would lose their value pretty fast?
It doesn't really matter that you can smith elven if you already have a suit of glass?

Smithing lets you enhance weapon and armor effectiveness IIRC. So sure you already have the best armor you can smith, but you can use your skill to enhance that armor.

Not to mention how much money you can make by crafting fine quality armor and Jewelry.

Smithing continues to be useful as a money maker even when yopu don't use that kind of weapon or armor. I wear heavy armor but I still smith light. I even still make iron armor frequently. Then I improve it and enchant it before selling it. I gain XP in two skills and make gold in the process...while killing A LOT of time.

Also, it appears that I am not entirely up to date on recent lore. I do know, however, that one load screen says that Thalmor is the name given to the agents of the Aldmeri Dominion.

How does one "invest" in this setting? It's something you can do in this game, I think. There's a place in the start menu that counts the businesses you've invested in.

I think it's a Speech perk that lets you invest in a merchant.

Getting married can be a lot like investing, if your spouse likes mercantile activities. My Orc's wife provides me with a steady (if cozy) income and food!

Quick question, before I go and mess everything up - when creating a new character on the PC version is there any risk of losing your old character, and how do you prevent that?
