In the sense of wrapping up warm, eating hot food, avoiding swimming in icy water..

if we stay naked in the cold too long we should begin to have penalties to our stats..

like how felldew addiction in SI got gradually worse.

Nah, leave this for hardcoe mode.

I Agree

Definitely a good idea for hardcoe. They could implement snowstorms in much the same way as blight / ash storms in MW.

i would like to see a sense of survivalism

No thanks!

The game will be nothing like that. It's probably even more dumbed down than Oblivion, because it sells. At least it will look pretty.

I would actually like to see the environment play more of an active role in TES. I have always thought Bethesda did a great job simulating weather. Why not take it a step further and actually have it affect the environment? Lightning could strike and burn down a tree, a village could get snowed in, rain could flood different parts of the map depending on how intense it is, etc.

Nords would get a big advantage over other races in this aspect, but if there is a hardcoe mode, fighting against the cold would definitely be a nice addition.

Golly, that sounds entirely too much like being at home. I'll skip it.

I want to frolic through the land of the ice and snow with the midnight sun where the hot springs FLOW... in some sixy armor. :lmao:

I don't think it's entirely bad to have some areas where you need to really prepare for a big chill.

Let's just not make it a "you are outside, take .25 frost damage per second unless..." for the whole map. But in selected areas (especially ones in which we hide tasty loot)? I think it can be done safely. By safely, I mean "I'd play it still", as opposed to hardcoe modes, which are "hardcoe ANNOYANCE" in my book...

I really love this idea. I don't expect lighting to strike down a tree, but if weather phenomena had some game world effects, that'd be really great.

I love the general idea of having to fight the harsh cold, but if it ends up being like Frostfire Glade cave it's just going to become seriously obnoxious. Instead of taking hits for cold damage, I think it should be limited to things like blizzards and swimming. Maybe there will be hot springs where our characters can explore underwater and not take damage. Maybe it only has an effect after some time. I dunno. I like the realism, but I do want to feel like my character is physically resistant enough to deal with the cold, too.

Perhaps instead of health damage, we could experience state encrumbrances, less endurance, etc? There ought to be hot springs in the various towns for people who aren't locals.

This gets me thinking though... Anyone expect to find a naked Nord in Skyrim?

My thoughts exactly. Give us the option, for sure.


Let's hope not... and have some faith! But then again, it is going to be on xbox 360 and ps3... do hardcoe games (especially along the lines of ES type games) even come out on those platforms? :unsure: :unsure2:
