    Happy Birthday, and many thanks to the modders for their hard work. Vanilla Skyrim wouldn't be the same or much fun without their mods.

    Still playing today.

    A year later and still playing strong. As I will continue to do off and on for the next ten or twenty years.

    Thank you Skyrim. And thank YOU, Nexus uploaders.

    Love the show Gopher. I know nobdy is gonna believe me here, but i only got about 50 hours and 9% of the Achievments. Anyone can beat this? Maybe some modders.

    Gee, I don't feel so bad now! As of today, I am logging in with *cough* only 944 hours in the wilds of Skyrim. lol BUT I did not get my copy of Skyrim until christmas (from my brother, thank you!). So by the time I reach "my" official year...yes, I will be well over 1000 hours. That being said I really must run Argis and I have treasure to seek and draugrs to kill.

    Given how much frequently changes in Tamriel and TES universe generally, undrej, I see no reason why there couldn't be a logical explanation (weaving of Aetherius bla bla bla) why levitation may have opened up as a possibility elsewhere.

    Hell, there could even be a questline made surrounding it and the way magic is developing to further enhance the lore...(!)

    To all those who miss the old magics, I also agree wanting most of them back. The only one I do not want back is levitate. Lore specifically explains that the magic of levitation is only possible in Vardenvell (if you don't believe me, play Morrowind and read the books) The only reason I don't want to see that spell again is because it would be lore breaking. If we end up going back there, I wouldn't mind it reappearing too. And no, Solsteim does not allow levitation, and if I'm not mistaken, it didn't even allow it in the Bloodmoon expansion either.
