So im a massive Fallout New Vegas fan and i loved the hardcoe mode and thought the system of eating drinking and sleeping would of been put into Skyrim

What i'm trying to say is

Yea, cooking does seem pointless. As has been noted elsewhere, potions of restore health are good, but all other potions, foods etc, are pretty useless. I did some random cooking and realised that the health restored from even the best was trivial.

With a low level character I was able to kill a dragon using a combination of restore health and cooked food. I would not been able to defeat the dragon otherwise. Most aren't good and at higher levels probably pointless.

Only food item that is pretty crazy is Vegetable Soup, which restores health by 1 point every second for 720 seconds.

You want a hardcoe mode?
You seem to just want a eating and sleeping monitor for each day.

hardcoe is:
No HUD, No bars indicating health, stamina and magika loss. No "eating and sleeping" bar.
You shouldn't be able to carry 5 war hammers, it should be realistic.
The cold should hurt you, likewise so should extreme heat.
You sleep when you're tired, the game doesn't tell you when you are, you just start getting worse in battle.
You eat and drink when you think you're hungry and thirsty. The game shouldn't tell you "you are now hungry".

You amateurs want a hardcoe mode, you know nothing about what hardcoe should be.

Meh, it pales against the automatic regen.
Lack of New Vegas-style hardcoe mode and health regen makes food and cooking pointless. Sad to see such a wasted opportunity :-/

Food in this game is kind of "poor man's magic". Biggest problem with cooking is salt is kind of hard to get in large enough numbers and you need it for every recipe. It is somehow useful early in game. Later it do not restore enough health/stamina for its weight. There is one or two recipes which are mildly useful, ones which regenerate health/stamina over time.

hardcoe mode would be nice.

Food regenerates health.

Oh and hardcoe wasn't a challenge. It was frustration. If it returns as a DLC in Skyrim, then it needs to be adjusted.

Most hardcoe mods does do most of that.
I'd look forward to Arwens RP mods once the toolset comes out.
And regarding "the game shouldn't tell you you are hungry" - unfortunately we haven't invented virtual reality games yet that allows smells, feelings or the likes, so we still need some indicator to tell us.
