    It rains constantly in the Amaya Lake lodge.

    I wish I could turn it off to be honest.

    Go to Glenumbra, esp. the northern areas. I hate that zone because of its depressing gloomy raininess.

    I remember when I started playing (EP) and moved from Stonefalls to Deshaan and I felt like it was always raining there. And people in zone chat were saying the same thing. That was a long time ago.

    I don't recall seeing it actually rain ingame or if so not on a frequent basis. Would add an extra element of realism IMO.

    There used to be but all the water was sucked up to form the floods of tears on the forums.

    Rains all the time you can even see the drops hitting the ground and causing rain drop ripples in the water. Also the ground looks wet (water reflection on the ground).

    I do play on PC with Ultra settings so not sure if console is different.

    Have you tried leaving the Alik'r Desert? :p

    I left once, but there be dragons. Very scary.

    There’s everything in the game when it comes to weather, I just witnessed a sand storm in Elsweyr yesterday and it was AMAZING. I love environmental effects in video games, even when they’re just visual/cosmetic.

    I've seen the sand storms which look very realistic. Maybe there's a rain setting I need to adjust, PS 4.

    What's odd in Elsweyr it was sunny all day long for me up until last week, then for a while it was dark. I hadn't even realized it until it occured. But no rain there either. I wonder what triggers it for some and not for others?

    Just been running around Rivenspire.

    Weather conditions: cloudy, rain with the risk of intermittent bandits.

    Never noticed that it rains in Rivenspire until now.

    During the betas I actually asked if it ever stopped raining in Daggerfall. I knew High Rock was based on Europe and I thought maybe it was a joke about our climate.

    Turns out it was just a coincidence that it rained literally every time I was there.

    There is rain yes but I believe the particle effects at least in cyro are severely toned down for performance reasons so its more like "spitting". However its better in PvE areas. Theres no condition for it - its just when the weather system cycle rolls in which can be any time really.

    The type of rain we dont have is a true storm/downpour. We just have drizzle and thunder right now.

    It's always raining in my game, even in the deserts. And Vvardenfell - I can't remember the last time I had a dry hour there!

    False. It's not rain. It's simply the rippling ocean of tears of my enemies falling from the heavens above....

    Yes but it rains a lot more in some zones than others. Visit Grahtwood it rains a lot there.

    The rain ingame falls mainly on the plain.

    I feel old now for getting this.
