Steam! Every child knows this. While boiling water evaporates in the real world, it often behaves differently in video games. In the virtual world, resources for the calculation and for the development team play a role, which often limits details like these. Reddit user ‘jimbo3557’ shows us that “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” had sufficient resources available.
In the Reddit post, we get to see water from a river evaporating when a fire spell is cast. On the one hand, the post shows that the game from 2011 still has many hidden details. On the other hand, the discussion in the comments makes us aware of the potential that remains open for the successor. For example, the water cannot be frozen, nor can a fire be started at the fireplaces.
