Patch Notes: Wildlife

Birds and animals

Birds, bats and small animals now live in the world outside. Flocks of birds come together in the sky and fly in circles. Some flocks land on open ground to eat. When you come near, they fly up at the same time.

Birds sit on roofs and on tall walls. When you come near, a bird flies away. The birds near it fly away a short time after.

Hawks and vultures fly in circles high in the sky. At night, bats fly near the ground. Rats, lizards, squirrels and crabs run away from you. Butterflies fly in the day, and fireflies shine at night.

Where and when

Each type of land has its own animals. The desert has vultures and lizards. The sea coast has gulls and crabs. Towns have pigeons on the roofs and rats in the streets at night.

The birds come out in good weather. Rain, storms, sand storms and ash make the birds stay down. Snow and fog decrease the number of birds. In winter, there are no butterflies and no fireflies.

This works in all of Tamriel. Each province shows the animals of its land.

Settings

The animals show with the enhanced look. To stop the animals, set Wildlife to off in Settings > Graphics > Plants, wind & wildlife.
