Draugur do it. They maintain the tombs (admittedly poorly) when there aren't adventurers barging in.

It'd be pretty neat to be able to sneak into a place and see a Draugur go and light a candle someplace or dispose of the corpse of a previous invader.

If that really is the lore reason, it's a very poor one. It also begs the question of who goes out to harvest wood and pitch for new torches? Who kills animals for more fat to make tallow candles?

Magical glows, arcane sigils, etc. But seeing a wooden torch or a candle burning in a place that no living being should have been in 500+ years is a bit much for me.

If Bethesdsa can't be arsed to to make the loot lists in the tombs reflect what's historically accurate (funny how all these ancient nords were buried with imperial gear...) I doubt they're going to take lighting that seriously.

Although why it's so hard to create "fey" light sources, I don't know. I'd even settle for generic evil ambient lighting if all the candles and torches went bye-bye.

 Just have a burning brazier in a few places in a dungeon for cool lighting. Just enough offerings and available wood to keep a few burning. Some candles providing a soft glow because spooooooooooky spirits are keeping them lit. I don't really expect much more than that.

 I'm primarily interesting in making dungeons cool to go through. Any place where the lighting engine flexes its muscles is fantastic, and we really should see more of what it can do. Historical accuracy is not really a problem. I would just prefer more varies loot containers, like barrels that didn't always have junk I don't want.

Really though, it was the Skyrim Commision For Adventurer Entertainment, Skyrim is actually set in modern times, it's a gameshow. Adventurers come in and explore tombs and die horribly on national television, but here's the kicker, the contestants don't know this.

They think they're being sent back in time, haven't you ever wondered why dragons turn up at the most inconvenient time? Or how people always seem to know where you're going to be? I mean come on, ore veins growing back? Who's stupid enough to fall for that shit, or the fact that people are willing to follow you to death just because you smiled at them.

Contestants who figure out too much are drugged and put to work as town guards, they're implanted with memories of being shot in the knee so they won't seem out of place.

Yeah, all the enemies are just doods in suits. It isn't until you've got good ratings that they can afford the animatronic enemies that can be decapitated and shit.

Well if you think about it, you COULD SAY that a Wizard really did do it. Ever burning Torches and Candles...

OHHHH!!!! I love this Realistic Lighting Mod, makes the Intro even more immerse, its done at Daybreak, and not much can be seen on the cart ride due to the sun just coming up, but gets brighter as the sun rises above the mountains...


EDIT:: Gah why can't someone make a mod that allows you to equip an extra ring, perhaps 4 at max, middle and forefinger on each hand. This unlimited Rings is a bit over the top cause you can equip more rings then you have finders. EVEN IF YOU DID DOUBLE OR MORE UP ON A SINGLE FINGER...

Well I could anyway.
