Subject: Hardcore mode in Skyrim, anyone?

You just lost the game. Now facepalm yourself for clicking this :P

Lately I've been playing a lot of Skyrim and I've been wondering, why not add hardcore mode? It would be really similar to Fallout: New Vegas' Hardcore.

-food, water, and sleep is a necessity
-arrows have weight
-carrying capacity reduced
-difficulty stuck on expert (master if you're feelin' perky)
-fast travel disabled, except for carriages (price increase on carriages)

Eh? I think it's a good idea. Something to think about when they start openly giving out info to the next Elder Scrolls. Anything else you would add to it? Or do you think the entire idea is just stupid?

you dont need an option to do so. just do it yourself. limit your character to a certain amount of items.

dahuterschuter knows more about this than i do.

You could enforce yourself to stick to those rules yourself.

Keeping track of hunger, hydration, and sleep levels yourself and having to kill your companions yourself makes it REALLY inconvenient and unfun. Plus how the hell you enforce a rule where arrows have weight?

Well you could keep track of time since you're not fast traveling. You'll visit inns and keep it as real as possible. Also stick to, let's say, 30 arrows max.

Just be a little creative you don't need the game to limit you down, enfore your own handicap ;) It's really fun I do it alot.

Unless you're playing a Bethesda game on consoles, in which case I truly pity you.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

I think we pity ourselves, as well, us sad folks who have yet to upgrade our gaming to PCs.

But it's so bland without mods. On PC you can download a mod that adds dozens of new monsters, makes combat more challenging and rewarding, overhaul the skill system to have more depth, tweak NPC spawns and create battle zones around the world where enemies begin fighting en masse, make the graphics far better than in the vanilla game, make new items, quests and companions, etc. Skyrim on consoles is a lacking experience because it is a shallow RPG. Modded Skyrim is still shallow, but at least it's much more tolerable and fun.

They call me graland.

There's like a thousand different mods that do all of that, and much more.

Possibru. I don't remember, and I'm too lazy to go through my post history. Despite how small it is.
