A hardcoe mode for Skyrim -
> the need for food, water, rest (as per FNV requirements) Water can be drunk straight out of any natural water source, ie need water? drink from a stream.
> Hypothermia. Wander too long in a blizzard with poor armour, and you get penalised. And Im not talking about some casual, streamlined worthless -5 hit to your stamina. Im talking about being unable to sprint, slowed down attack, poor vision and a complete risk of collapse. And dont even think about swimming in the waters around Winterhold.
> Diseases which mean a damn. Since Oblivion, diseases in TES have been worthless. In Morrowind if you got a plague, no svcka would talk to you. All that loot you wanted to sell was just baggage till you found a cure. In Daggerfall if you got a disease in a dungeon, you were lucky to make it out alive... yes that actually meant your entire save file was at risk. Skyrim diseases are literally pointless. Make a disease threatening... like how about the only cure for rockjoint came from a small flower that only grew on the summit of the tallest mountain in the reach? Or from a weed that only grew in the deepest chasm of blackreach.
> Crippled body parts, ie have limping, poor aim with the bow, a weak sword swing, blurred vision etc.. Make us think, and weigh up the risks of any combat we get into.
PETITION FOR FUTURE PATCH - INCLUDE A hardcoe MODE.
