Awesome Skyrim Fact: Every Town Has Its Own Economic System : Just Push Start

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious video games ever made. A new fact about the game has been posted and each town in the game with have their own economic system.

EB Games Australia shared this exciting piece of news on its official Facebook page.

Here’s what was posted:

AWESOME SKYRIM FACT #5: Every town has its own economic system, meaning that each town has their own distinguished way of making money. For instance, the town of Riverwood makes most of their money through wood and lumber.

The more information that is shared about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the more it resembles real-life. Countries in the real world operate the same way as our economies are generated by different commodities too. Japan make money via cars and electronics while New Zealand exports goods such as milk and wool.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is due for release 11/11/11 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

I can't wait to find out what exactly the different towns specialise in, hopefully we should be able to do most of it ourselves to earn experience/currency.

This is interesting. Seems like Skyrim will be very detailed and will have a lot of depth.

I dunno, I'm not too impressed. That sounds more important for lore than it does for anything gameplay related, and almost every good RPG gives their cities a purpose. What'll it do exactly, make wood worth slightly less in cities that are abundant with it? Maybe the townspeople will talk about wood and ore or whatever their cities commodity is?

Eh...

It defines that each city will have a different way of making money. Not just every city chopping wood and/or smithing. From this, we know that there will be a variety of different activities for us to take part in.

Guess that's a pretty good point. Hopefully that's the case and the variety is plentiful.
