SpellAndShield Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I reckon the sun should set at about 5 pm in Skyrim, not 7 pm as is custom, because of its Northern location, so I am requesting a mod that could do this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raatorotta Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hey, i have wondered this too. It's not summer time in Skyrim, maybe autumn, because those tree colors near Riften. So, if its autumn, there should be a longer night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I reckon the sun should set at about 5 pm in Skyrim, not 7 pm as is custom, because of its Northern location, so I am requesting a mod that could do this... Northern location yes, but how northern is it on the globe? and is it winter or summer? Living in Quebec, which is a northern region, if it's summer the sun sets at 9ish, winter at 5 it's dark, so being a northern place doesn't necessarily means it'll be dark that soon. 7pm seems like a good compromise between the two.

nandchan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Skyrim's ingame date is more or less an exact correspondence to the Gregorian calendar, with the exception of leap years. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Calendar As such, the day length would have to vary with the ingame month.

lessthan3 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 What nandchan said. The game has months, it's a shame really the weather doesn't change by seasons, maybe I'll request it as a mod.In any case, living in Scandinavia we have summers, and the very northernmost parts of Scandinavia isn't called the land of the midnight sun for nothing. In the summers sometimes the sun doesn't set at all.But in general, deep winter is only 6 hours of sunlight. But summers have upwards of 18 hours of sunlight per day. Autumn should have between 10 and 13 hours at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terralventhe Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hell, here in Iceland, during the summertime, because we're so far up north in the hemisphere, our summers last for 24 hours. Yeah, you heard me right, 24 hours of daylight, and only during the 11PM-to-7AM interim does it kinda just get hazy and grey, but the sun is still out.. the moon just happens to also be as well. Then during the winter it flips around a bit and we end up with three hours of daylight, six or seven hours of gloomy greyness, and the rest is dark.
