The AshFall mod has hot and cold and, generally, it's all about cold unless you're around lava or in an ash storm.

I was standing in the third straight day of slate grey down pour in Whiterun and Danica Pure Spring reminds me that we have Kynnereth to thank for the winds and the rains and I began to wonder if this more like flooding of the Nile thing?

It's that that made me turn off the weather aspect of AshFall, when I went into the Bitter Coast and found myself starting to freeze, it was like...

The salt marshes and hot swamps of Bitter Coast are...

... uhh okay, but I guess it's just freezing? Swamp rain is hot. I've been in swamp rain storms irl it's warm rain I'm not shivering to death right away.

And getting into the Ashlands where I had a mod that adds a heat-haze filter and finding myself too cold and needing to bundle up, I just, I couldn't take the mod seriously anymore. Also I was playing an Argonian and it made it impossible to take advantage of water-breathing, because any amount of time underwater just started killing me anyway.

it's very effective worldbuilding but finding myself in an ash storm in ald'ruhn is a very good way to make me go back inside and take 24h naps until it's over

I always imagined Vvardenfell as quite cool or even chilly. It’s one of the most northern parts of one of the most northern provinces. Sheogorad at the least is gonna be cold. Hell it’s even full of Nords! I figure that only the Ascadian Isles and Bitter Coast are really “warm” barring standing next to lava pits in Molag Mar.

Though I love Solstheim it really is just a completely different game. Even putting aside the flora and fauna. It’s has no connections with any of the characters, culture/society/politics, metaphysics, or plotlines. You might as well be playing a different character than the Nerevarine.

Vvardenfell has a huge gently caress off volcano at it's center and a lot of magma pits and tunnels that vent more geothermal energy.

Mamaea is loving creepy. It's one giant hollowed out spinal column, and it's just full of Sixth House monsters including the only Dagoth outside of the Ghostfence. It's got a pool so deep swimming to the bottom makes the game bug out, and it's mostly empty of any features except for a bone fang weapon (the Fang of Hletters) and one poor fucker who got trapped there and is probably gonna be converted into a dreamer. Morrowind is good at creating scary but honestly that might freak me out the most.

It would only exist as a fetish thing or as part of a quest where you have to figure out a napkin smells like a particular perfume of whoever committed a murder. You'd have to either write out how every object in the game smells or just have a script that says "it smells like how it should smell" outside a few object where's it's important to the modder.

The reason Dunmer enslave Argonians and regard them as lesser is that ripping huge powerful farts is a sign of status in Dunmer society and lizards don't really fart much

A silly little mouse!
I always imagined Scuttle to have kind of a dry musty smell,
Kwama Eggs like heavily salted cold red meat,
Ash Yams as Yams believe it or not,
Saul Treece as like soft pretzels,
Guar like turkey,
Cliff Racer like leather or jerky,
Kagutie like chicken,
Bittergreen like spinach,
Comberry like cranberry,
Marshmerrow like maple syrup,
Muckspunge like a communion wafer,
Mudcrab like lobster
and Nix Hound like soft pork fat.
I have no idea how most of these came to be. I think after a thousand hours your brain just has no choice but to assign a flavor to all these fantasy foods.

Almalexia at the end, yes. Telvanni city redo concurrent with alma, quest redo probably around the same time. I'm pushing to get the end initially included even if it means it gets scrapped later. All of the firewatch and helnim quests are redone for the next release.

We even have someone uber passionate about kemel ze sucking so that will be a blast
