Not to be funny, but do umbrellas exist in Tamriel?

If so, then why doesn't even one NPC use it during the rain? It would add so much more realism to the world, especially for NPCs that are dressed nicely with expensive fashion. I don't imagine that they would want to get their attire wet.

    There are certainly parasols, there are at least 2 I can think of that are theft items. A water-resistant version is not too much of a stretch.

    I just looked it up, and found that there is an umbrella that can be stolen. It's just a regular loot item that you can steal from a NPC house and such.

    Why are there no animations of people running for shelter to try and get out of the rain, specifically during thunderstorms?

    The weather effects seem to be of no significance to the NPCs. If you guys can do dolmens all over Tamriel, I'm sure you'll could add the occasional sandstorm in Alik'r Desert that can hurt a player if over there at the wrong time, a Cold Harbour weather condition like a Plane Meld magical lightning effect that strikes random locations in Nirn. Make huge flaming geysers from the lava erupt in places like Oblivion, and then it rains small balls of fire over the player, emphasizing just how dangerous Oblivion is. Getting out of dodge, casting a shield, or healing away the damage would make the danger factor more interesting in ESO.

    I imagine that the problem is that, as far as I know, weather is client-side, not server-side. It might be raining for you, but not for your buddy next to you.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    True, unless you both are in the same group.

    That's the big question? Heh. So many animation blunders when you think about it. Why does no one recognize a dead person after being murdered and they're laying in the streets? Why do dead NPCs fall flat and on air instead off the edge of something? Why doesn't the second moon cast a reflection on the water? Why are there no wind storms other than a few story events?

    Exactly! Low-budget? Lazy animation? One thing is for sure, the game could be a lot better than what it is.

    Ah this is true. I've stopped emoting rain related things during my rp sessions as it seems I'm the only one not experiencing a bright and sunny day. Why must you follow me around like this gray skies and sadness?
