It's too hardcoe when i get hit once and die from any weapon. I never played New Vegas but i would be fine with its hardcoe mode because i have heard of it.

hardcoe mode would've been awesome in Skyrim so I would have a reason to sit down and eat a Leg of Goat with Eider Cheese and Alto Wine at my house.

How hardcoe Is Too hardcoe

I'd say taking up my, probably badly made, Wakizashi, putting on improvised armor and hunting bears in a forest would count as too hardcoe.

Anyway, never played New Vegas, but I I'll say what mages>all said, one hit KO would probably be too much, game is simply not made for dodging too much attacks, especially if fighting against mobs that include several archers or/and mages.

Having a bunch of mods like hypothermia, NOM from Morrowind, Deadly Dragons etc., playing on Master and playing dead is dead would count as HC in my book.

Too hardcoe would be your food spoiling if you didn't eat it soon enough, your teeth getting rotten and difficulty eating/constant pain for not brushing, your feet getting tired from running all over the world, menstrual cycles for female characters.
I'm ok with having to eat and sleep, I try to do both every day, but in NV it was more of a chore (I didn't play it but that's what I hear). If time didn't pass so fast in game, then sure, bring on NV hardcoe mode.

making it so you can lose limbs or bleed out or a very pleasant combination of the two or getting a disease from drinking contaminated water.

^this. I don't know if it would be my prefered mode, but at least one of my characters would go through this mode.

I lived perfectly fine in HC Fallout, I didn't find it so much choring, as much more than a little more challenging, it keeps interest added. Just the basic need sleep need food need drink source that isn't completely mead would be fine enough for me. I just don't know what they would do for ingredients, if they would account for food/water/ sleep reducer etc. They would hav to rethink some things, not too much, but put time into it and implement it in some odd future patch that won't come. Thye might add it in the next series of TES is my guess if they wanted to implement it.

If you were to hard core frostbite into the game, then you would need to have a Snow Armour system added to the game.

may look cool.

Yeah, I play 360 and I think a hardcoe mode similar to new Vegas would help the main problem I have with this game. I restart all the time. I dont like it when my characters get too over powered. Haven't had a single character get past lvl 38. Being able to easily kill everything at lvl 20 , moved me to an orc on master difficulty. After powering up my Orc warrior I had to restart due to needing a bigger challenge and forum talk about mages being underpowered compared to warriors/stealth characters.

A hardcoe mode, I feel, would slow down the game for me. I would have to consider buying new things and carrying new things. All the money I have wouldn't be invested into making me as powerful as I can be, but instead used for preparing for trips out of towns. I think this would be a great option to add.

I dunno doesn't have to be many features, hunger/thirst/sleep. Maybe body temp maaaaaaaybe. Would weather effect body temp? Rather than just whole areas that are considered colder?

I don't like the hardcoe modes, but I guess it would be nice to have the option.

Too hardcoe would be your food spoiling if you didn't eat it soon enough
I am actually using a mod where your food spoils if you don't eat it soon enough, and you have to drink and lack of food/drink/sleep adversely affects your stats and to be honest it's awesome and I don't think it's hardcoe at all, particularly, just a much more natural way of playing.
Add to that playing on the difficulty below master, deadly combat, and not wearing any armour, as well as a couple of other things/restrictions and it's pretty much tailored to a world fit for a bonkers Bosmer.
I can't use hypothermia mods for a very obvious reason given the character that I identify with, but apart from that I'm pretty much there.

For those lucky enough to be able to mod their games 'imps more complex needs' and 'Frostfall hypothermia' mods are very good, a lot better than the New Vegas hardcoe mode and I would bet a lot better than anything Beth would add.

Really changes the game and each mod has a nice amount of customization.

I didn't think the hardcoe mode in Vegas was hardcoe at all. It was too easy to find food and water. It was more a role playing/realism mode. Which was fine.

I wouldn't mind something like that in Skyrim but the whole point of it in Vegas was to make it hard surviving in the wasteland. Skyrim isn't a wasteland. There's water everywhere. So to me it wouldn't add a challenge.

What I'd like to see in Skyrim (make that love to see) is anything that stops me from being able to spam health potions. Like maybe they take a long time to work like the stimpaks in vegas, or when you use one it exits out of the inventory and shows an animation of you drinking it (remember Gothic 1 & 2?). As a result you are too vulnerable to use a potion during combat. That I would be happy with.

Hypothermia or something like that I would probably enable it but it's not on my wish list.

I'm playing Dragon's Dogma at the moment and a neat little feature of that game is when you get into water over your waste you become "drenched" for several minutes. You're slowed down and suffer some minor debilitations. Things like that would be cool but again not on the top of my list. The health potion spamming is my biggest issue. Imagine how much I loath auto health regen.

Running naked to Throat of The World with a hypothermia mod...Now THAT'S hardcoe!!!!

Seriously though, I'd welcome a Bethesda hardcoe patch. However, playing a new game with PISE has quite surprised me, I can not longer take on a ton of bandits at level 2 with no problem!

I have considered inflicting Frostfall on Niamh, given her predilection for not, in fact, wearing anything - but i keep not doing it because it seems needlessly cruel and the gameworld is hard enough for her as it is...

Oh yeah, random encounters - that's good too.

I was surprised actually when it wasn't included vanilla. Even though it was a fallout thing but I wanted it and still want it. Also need the hypothermia idea. An maybe more clothes that are made from pelts and leather specifically for cold locations. And maybe rowboats for water and stuff. I know I'm a nord but when I can strip down to nothing and jump into frozen water and be fine that is just dumb. I would love to play it hardcoe. And I'm on a 360 but I've seen hardcoe mods and they just don't seem right not being an official Bethesda mode
