SMB92 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thought i'd share my experience with the recent weather pattern in my game. One of few times it has been consistently bad weather everyday. First up, i get the Frostfall message grey skies approaching mid morning on day 1, on my way back to my cabin in Riverwood from Windhelm. By the time i was done there and headed for the markets in Whiterun, it starts to rain lightly. Done my trade run in Whiterun, weather seems to start to clear so i head for my Markarth trade run. Pisses down just before dusk half way to Fort Greymoor, slow trip to Markarth. Holed up in Markarth/The Reach for 3 days, wont stop pissing down. Ran through Arknthamz or whatever its called with Katria inside. Back to Markarth to sell some newly collected loot, happy to see Khajiit caravan arrive. Appearing to break, i start out for Dawnstar across the marsh after a night at the Silver-Blood, still spitting rain and insanely cold. No furs on account of rain and leather tent not allowing me to warm up enough to consider moving far, slow trip again. Lost count of amount of assassins killed during this particular journey. Morning of the 6th day, leave my camp and start out for Dawnstar again, weather appears to be clearing. Get to Dawnstar, snow storm in bound. At first it was just light snow but still insanely cold. Half way to Winterhold to stop by the College, nearly die of hypothermia, should of bought furs in Dawnstar but forgot. Setup camp at Saarthal for a few hours. Get to Winterhold on sundown, followers had to annoy a tribe of horkers and Reiklings had to attack at the same time. One Reikling in particular held a stick of death, somehow taking a third of my health in a single blow. b&@*$. Missed Birna for the day, decide to set up at the inn for the night. Go out at 6am, cant see past the snow omg. Decide to make a run to Fort Dunstad, where necromancers freshly respawned. Nearly died from hypothermia again, didnt help dumbass Arch-Necromage was spamming ice spikes. Spend an hour warming up, head north again in search of Ebony deposits for the trade run back west. Midday of the 7th day, no relent from the weather. Hadnt occured to me yet, but out of firewood. Run into some goblins warring about half a kay from Snow veil tomb, distracted in my impatience to find ores, i am freezing and no time to find wood. Make a run for Snow veil tomb, should be safe inside. Get there one point before hypothermia takes hold, forgot door was locked. The end. Of me. Time of death 6.30pm day 7 of the trade run. I play at a timescale of 6 so you can see how slow i play the game. I walk every where. This was a particularly bad run, although i remained complacent the whole time, this is what cost me my life. Anyhow just a bit of roleplay experience i thought I'd sharexwith you all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druuler Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Wow! Just wow! O.O Perhaps for next time, write yourself a checklist of what you need to "pack" before heading out from a settlement and/or camp? Just a suggestion, and one I should keep in mind for myself since I am once again giving Skyrim a try. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMB92 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Still stuck in Whiterun, can't find enough materials to make fur armors, seems even with CCOR that they still require Elk Hides and Wolf Pelts rather than just fur plates etc. So now I just stare into the Sea of Ghosts in hope the storm will subside. I nearly froze to death just walking outside of the town walls from the Frozen Hearth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
