So if i understand what you are saying then the answer to that would to just leave all the other options off and check mark the permanent death one.

I don't understand the need to design the feature in in the first place. Couldn't the "Check mark" just be you deleting your old save when you die? There already exists the tools in all Elder Scrolls games for that already.

No, I don't work for them. Where would you even get that idea? And I didn't get "pooped on" by the last comment.

Considering the great fan and critical response for hardcoe mode in FNV, I suspect (and hope) there will be some sort of hardcoe or survival mode in Skyrim. If Bethesda implements these features as toggles that players can set individually, that would be pretty amazing.

I think some people liked some of the combat challenge enhancing features of FNV hardcoe mode, such as stimpaks heal over time, but hated the eating/drinking/sleeping part. You can't please everybody, but optional toggles for some of these features would be great.

Of course considering the general trend toward streamlining and reducing complexity, I would be surprised if Bethesda implements a feature like this with a whole bunch of optional toggles.

I also believe permanent death makes no sense for an open world TES game, but I imagine there are some people out there who would enjoy it.

You could do that but then it wouldn't be fun for some people who love the thrills of combat and not knowing if you could die in the next encounter or fly off a mountain and die, in the back of your mind you would always know you can cheat and not delete the save.

Why would you even want permanent deaths?

300 hours gameplay...I die...save gone. I don't think so.

I don't want it, some people might and once again it's optional...jeez i wish i had an option to just get rid of ignorant people ugh i can't help but feel obligated to reply to this guy -_- I'm just goning to chill out over here and *mumbles* damn reply limit time frame

Why couldn't you just "Cheat" and uncheck it just before dying anyway?


Honestly, if someone is that into "permanent" death, I don't think they're going to "Cheat" themselves out of it, or need an arbitrary feature to go about it.

This is all I ask for in a HC mode. Eat, Sleep, Resting only restores health over time

I feel the same way.

Because the options list would only be available before starting the character. And maybe you are right about them not wanting to cheat out of it but who knows, maybe they just can't help their self hehe. *eyeballing the cookie jar*

If they can't stop themselves from loading a character instead of deleting it when dieing, then they shouldn't be trying to delete their saves when dieing at all.

Your argument is completely ridiculous.

Have you played hardcoe mode in New Vegas? This is exactly what I want in Skyrim. hardcoe mode is OPTIONAL. Which means, if you want the game to be more like real life (why the hell are you going on about TVs? This is a fantasy game, not Fallout), you have the OPTION to do things like:
- Eat and drink to live
- Wounds heal over time with stimpacks
- Doctors bangs to repair broken bones
- Having to sleep

Never in any post did I say "Oh i want this game to be EXACTLY like real life".

hardcoe options just make the game more challenging. Challenging as in, you take more risks, you die easily - SIMILAR TO REAL LIFE

Of course, if you want to do the easy option because you dont want this game to be realistic (I have no idea why) be my guest

Ummmm mental block, any way the point is to make it more suspenseful and make you scared as hell about dieing and trying to survive that tough elder scrolls world out there with caution. Man why do we have to talk about my least favorite of the hardcoe options? Can't we just talk about how much fun it's going to be climbing mountains?

Maybe you should read the posts before that? The guy was saying that RPG meant as close to real life as possible.

The guy clearly doesnt understand what "challenging" and "hardcoe" mean. He thinks we want this game to be Earth2 or something lol

Pretty sure that, in one of the Game Informer podcast interviewing Todd Howard, it was stated that hardcoe Mode will NOT be in Skyrim. I do not care one way or the other, but it seems to me like the option would be perfect for any RPG like TES and the new Fallouts.

EDIT: I would at least like an exposure meter that would be similar to Fallout's radiation one. Most of the game it will be unused, but there would be at least a few locations where you would need to take precautions against the harsh environment.

:yes:

HAHA! Earth2!! that was friggin funny dude ^_^

I didn't find it very funny. It really seems that you guys want this "Earth 2" thing.

Maybe that's because it was aimed towards you, oh and Todd only stated there would be no hardcoe mode because everything i mentioned is in the normal game so there is no need for the option...Jk Shasow i just wanted you to crap your looney toons whitey tighties!

My

?

I do not see what is wrong with people wanting more options for role-playing and making videos for youtube

There is nothing wrong with people wanting to role-play...but Skyrim will not be the game to role-play real life or anything similar to it.

And if you want something different in Skyrim, you can just download mods. Want hardcoe? Download the mod when it's made. Don't have a PC? You should get one. Skyrim on the PC is 1000x better than on a console.

It was only a joke. One day a long time ago, my brother's friend spent the night and brought clothes with him so he could shower and change. He ended up leaving his dirty skid mark encrusted looney toons underwear here and my mom found them and laughed so hard and showed us, I still make fun of him for that.
