ThomasCovenant Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 1. Where does the moonlight come from? If you say Tamriel's two moons, that's not correct. If it was correct why doesn't everything in the game have two shadows? 2. The moons fade, they don't set. The moonlight remains and is as strong as full-moon light of the real world. When the PC looks at the moons they are not reflecting any light and are dull in color. different but related. Tamriel is a fantasy world, not Earth.Why not have more than on Solar star, of differing colors? I'm sorry to have to make this personal, but Ninja666 don't answer this.

crazydave Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 short ansewer: Because there is only so much you can do with current graphics. long ansewer: Nothing about the celestial boddies as seen from Nirn is real, it is all just an illusion created by the mortall mind to cope with the complexities of the universe.And the "solar star" (Magnus) is no diferent from other stars, its just the biggest. the planets dont even revolve around it. Mabey this link can help explain it better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryocry Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 1. The moons, obviously. And Akavir has two moons as well. And Pyandonia, and Yokuda, and... well, you get my point. ALL OF NIRN has two moons. Nirn is the planet, Tamriel is a continent. Everything doesn't have two shadows because the moons are close to each other, and they're both shining down on one side or the other, but not both at a time. 2. So? Haven't you seen how shiny the rocks are? Do you remember the "Light" spell effect? Think of all the NPCs using some sort of light. So what if the moons fade? Do they have to have a perfect orbit around the planet? They might go farther out into space and come back over Nirn. As you said, this isn't Earth.

Rhydderch Hael Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The ambient nighttime illumination in-game comes the sun's position below the horizon. You can tell how early or late the evening is by which direction the light is cast. And what color is the Sun? Yellow? No— just looks that way when seen from the bottom of a thick, dusty atmosphere.
