I think a hardcoe mode will be great. It makes the game more realistic, gives eating food,drinking and slleeping actually purposes and it feels like your living a life in the game

I'm not fussed. I hope they don't make an achievement out of playing through it if they do though. That was low.

I already do all that crap in real life, what"s next file a Tamrieliic tax return? Hate NV.

There are way too many threads about this. TES is not Fallout, and a hardcoe mode is exactly the type of thing that should just be implemented by a mod, rather than have Beth waste resources on it.

Better to simply have better/more difficulty sliders so that we can customize the challenge.

nonsense.

its not about copying fallout... its about immersion, which oblivion did before any fallout.

YES have a hardcoe mode but call it 'realistic mode' to stave off the rabid ES zealots.

Whilst I do enjoy hardcoe mode in New Vegas, it's honestly mostly because it makes the game feel more like FO1/2. Additionally, scavenging for food and struggling to keep yourself hydrated fit well with the desolate atmosphere of the Fallout series. I personally think it would feel totally out of place in an Elder Scrolls game.

i wonder why people get rilled when someone suggest an optional mode, not imposed since the start, that can choose not to activate.

I m ALLL for hardcoe mode as long as its optional so it won t fuss people that wan t a simpler mode.

The problem is: if its optional, there s modders for it.

Sure. But slightly different from New Vegas. hardcoe mode for an RPG experience (skill and stat effects much bigger etc), and casual mode for... well, more casual experience.

One word: hypothermia.

No more running around in your skimpy birthday suits in the freezing cold without consequence. Bring on 'Realistic Mode'

But if we give Nords back their 100% Frost Immunity...

I would like to see a hardcoe mode available since I think I'm having more fun playing New Vegas on hardcoe mode than before. Weird.

Please...

People can′t complain about a hardcoe mode. Remember, IT IS OPTIONAL. If you don′t like it, you don′t use it. :facepalm:

My point exactly.

I say no or at least don't make it like New Vegas. I did hardcoe mode and it was not really hardcoe IMO. There is such huge amount of food and water etc in the game it made it way too easy. I think Fallout 3 was more hardcoe on regular mode the New Vegas was.

To me it it just a waste and really does not do much to the experience. I make sure I rest once a day and drink water. This is not really that difficult. What are they going to do make healing spells be delayed?? This is a fantasy game and the rules do not always apply.......unlike a game like Fallout which is suppossed to be in the real world but an alternate universe.

You can make some thing like maybe the cold having an effect but forcing someone to sleep is just tedious IMO. Sure I can find a bed once a day and hit a button and watch for two minutes as it says some hours go by but that to me is not really an more immersive than fast travel.

Am I the only one who is getting annoyed that the same topic comes up SEVERAL TIMES A DAY? Seriously... if you are too lazy to use the search function then AT LEAST browse the forum for 2 pages and you WILL find several topics with the similar title.

I am slowly losing faith in the humanity :sadvaultboy:

There should be some hardcoe elements of the game, but probably not exactly like New Vegas.

For example since we are in Skyrim, all clothes and armor should have a "warmth" attribute, and in the more northern parts or in the mountains, you should have serious penalties to endurance, willpower, and agility if your clothes aren't warm enough. Then there could be random blizzards as weather systems and you would actually take cold damage continually based on how warmly you're dressed. And you shouldn't be able to just fast travel out of it, but rather have to either find shelter or try to build a fire.

NV didnt really give it a purpose... the only burden I felt was carrying around a few extra pounds of food/drink. Sleeping never really seems to affect me. There was enough beds around where it was just a very minor annoyance. Neither were fun elements though imo.

You can't build a fire in a blizzard.
You can already do all that resting and eating stuff within oblivion anyway. I really wouldn't be bothered myself, I think it would become annoying having to go to your menus to click on an apple every game day. It's bad enough having to constantly cast feather spells after looting.

You can with MAGIC! :nerd:

Thats because it was badly implemented and dungeons where shallow, and map could be quickly crossed.
Loose yourself in wilderness,
Loose yourself in a dungeon,
Make thirst affect your concentration/spellcasting skill
Make starve affect your endurance strenght
Make killed creatures provide meat
Make water source provide water
Make bad food and bad water poison you lowering your stats VS not eating = dying.

And you will see how is it rewarding to plan and improvise. What many RPG fails to implement is FEAR fear of dying. If player does not fear death then all the gameplay is affected toward the "whatever" factor and many implementation that otherwise would made sense loose it.
Adventuring is by essence the reward of overcoming death fear, of breating this very challenge ultimate failure... Death, the sucess of overcoming problems and enjoying the rewards, be it in gold or knowledge or both.

Those who intuitively or not understand this very aspect are those who ripe the greater enjoyment from true RPG, and surely those who clain for hardcoe mode.
IF there s an hardcoe mode in a game i m in, IF by any way i m not up to the task for any reason (not having enought time to head in and pitch myself in), no problem, i step back.

I won t feel diminished by that, its a game afterall, and i have other more important challenges like working studying wife and who knows kids.

We've already had far too many threads on this.

I see no problem with having an optional hardcoe mode. I thought NV's hardcoe mode was just annoying, it didn't add any fun to the game. If it is done differently then I might try it, but I don't play TES for super realism (there is magic people!).

Only if they do not have to omit any other important features.
