I want there to be eating and drinking. It adds that element of realism to the game and also makes the food in the game actually useful.

Like hardcoe mode in NV? I dont care either way, I played with the HC mode but it didnt do much for me.

Lots of people want something similar to NV's hardcoe mode in Skyrim and it has been discussed at length (search for it if you want to read).

IMO, it'd be nice for all those RPers out there.

The eating/drinking/sleeping aspect of NV's hardcoe mode should be a forced gameplay thing. It's really easy, eat a cheese wheel here, drink from a lake there and sleep once every 2 weeks.

I want an animation for it. Dont care if I need to do it. Just that it looks like Im doing it.

This has been covered alot. Check out this topic if you like

there is eating and drinking in oblivion but you dont have to eat or drink

NOTHING should be forced man... I love playing hardcoe mode and mods like that for oblivion, but I wouldn't want it shoved down other peoples necks.

A reasonable stand .

Just like hardcoe mode in new vegas, i don't see why they wouldn't include it, i won't play it though.

So your forcing me how to play the game now? If I want to eat drink or sleep I will do it in real life or the sims. NOT Skyrim.

I was slightly underwhelmed by New Vegas' hardcoe mode, though it was a step in the right direction. I'd quite like to see something similar in Skyrim... though obviously optional since a lot of people would find it a pain in the bottom (is "[censored]" still censored...?)

I'd like a use for all those food stuffs sitting around, restore fatiuge my mighty toe. never did I feel it neccessary to address my fatiuge as I am still able to function without worry, if food gave a boost or was a requiremnt I'd be happy. I rather all the food stuffs and that eternal dining room setup in all the castles actually be used, instead of sitting there doing nothing, not being exhausted and replenished....you know ;p
