To thouse responding with "Its fall after the Spire," you are incorrect. Before leaving for the Spire, you are asked to complete all your quests because you can not pick them up again. The reason for this is, is that the Temple of Light is about to be attacked (*and your buddy from your childhood is about to invest in a new nice town in place of the camp near the Crucible and needs your help.)
If you do NOT help the Temple of Light before leaving for the spire, it will be eliminated while you are in the spire, thus causing the cycle of the golden oak to end, causing a dusty orange Oakfield. If, in turn, you DO complete the quest, you arrive back at an even GREENER Oakfield with 4 or 5 new coastline houses, a better econamy, more villagers and an even homely feel that will make you want to stay there.
(*If you donate 5000 gold to the photogropher from the begining, the camp outside the Crucible will become an oakfieldesqe town, a great addition to later gaming.)
Nither of these two major improvements can be achived after the Spire, so you will be out one nice town, and stuck with the smaller (and quite frankly ugly) oakfield. I strongly reccomend another character to explore these two improvments. Also note clearing all bandit quests, because that will greatly improve the Bower Lake and Brightwood regions, causing nice farms to grow ect.
but yea a place thats first sprint doesnt go to winter or anything peter talks to mutch XD
