Poll: TES V Skyrim do you want the hardcore mode from New Vegas in it?

[Mace Tulio]

I voted yes, because I'd like to have the option, I enjoyed Hardcore Mode in New Vegas, despite the shallowness, because it offered a greater challenge to the game. Sure it wasn't great, but it made things a little more interesting.

I'm not convinced that I'd actively use a Hardcore Mode in an Elder Scrolls game, and I'd rather see them perfect the gameplay mechanics before implementing one, but the option would be nice.

 

[zehydra]

as long as it was optional, sure. I would do a file with it on and a file with it off.

 

[thejboy88]

Including something like hardcore mode would mean diverting content from other areas which could be improved, like dialogue choices or smoothness of play.

Diffculty in games has never been a plus for me so I would hate for it to be a focus in such a promising game.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Only if hardcore mode actually works properly.

In FO:NV, it was just a bunch of numbers I had to keep down, it was more of an annoyance. I'd like the chance to actually sit down for a meal in an inn or cook my meals over a campfire, actually see my character take water from a river in a skin and actually see them drink from it.

This. I don't want the hardcore mode from New Vegas where I'd pick up some water, check a number and either leave it or drink it. If they incorporate it with the sit feature then that'd be even better. It's all fine and dandy sitting there, but when all you do is sit and press A at the inventory to simulate eating it's pointless.

 

[Tomster595]

Not really necessary. I would like to be forced to eat and drink in some of my playthroughs, but I'm sure it would be an easy to find mod. Bethesda shouldn't waste their time.

 

[Keepitclean]

NO! It would take away part of the Elder Scrolls appeal...ya know.

What the appeal of being an overpowered demi-god who crushes guards like flies?
Also at least it would give food more value

But the alchemy! Thats what its uses were in the other ES games.

Thus creating a choice alchemy or food? Do I make poison or eat?

I think that would make alchemy a rarely used skill. I didn't 'get' alchemy on my first playthrough and on later ones it still seems a bit painful though useful.

What i am trying to say is that if it were like that (poison/potion or food) no one would use alchemy because there are so many ways of playing TES games you can quite easily play around it.

 

[C95J]

If they choose to put it in then I have no complaints.

Although I have no clue why people are complaining already, I mean it is an option no one is forcing you to play it...

 

[DustyDrB]

If it's optional, there's no problem. I didn't care much for New Vegas' hardcore mode, as it just made for more tedium in item-management. Stimpacks become the best food and Doctor's Bags become Stimpacks. But I'm sure some people enjoyed it. Give them the option to play the game the way they want, sure. It's like the whole fast-travel thing. If it's optional, you've no reason to complain.

 

[Feralcentaur]

Sure, but you know what I like to be taken from New Vegas even more? I would like my character from New Vegas to be playable!

 

[Zack McSleuthburger]

It's ok if they have it as an option, but it was a horrible mode.

It just adds a bunch of horrible ideas that ultimately subtract from the game.

 

[cthulhumythos]

I personaly want the option to have hard-core mode. It would make the game so much more immersive if you had to hunt for food in nordish tundra to survive as you treked between cities. Also I would like the extra challenge.

what do you think?

*Edit* Just to be clear I would like hardcore mode simialr to NV but not the same. I think that there is actually a mod of TES IV that does sometihng akin to this.

YES. after playing hardcore mode in new vegas i couldn't go back to regular; if this is similar i would be pleased.



*EDIT: you could eat DRAGON MEAT for sustenance, HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE?

Oh that's fun.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

No. Fallout is much more about survival, it would get in the way of the exploration.

Thanks for adding to the conversation.
The Elder Scrolls games have always been about immersion, if they were to add the option that character must eat drink and sleep, make it about doing those things, not simply keeping numbers in a menu down.

 

[Eumersian]

Maybe?

It's certainly an idea to make an option for people that maybe want to hunt for food. But many people, myself included, will probably not want to play it. But that's what the mod community is for. Then again, with the game in an entirely new engine, the new Construction Set may not be the same to use as the old ones.

 

[The_Fezz]

No, it was an interesting gimmick that added some well needed survivalism to a world built on a will to survive, but Tamriel is a kingdom, which is yet to endure apocalypse. Food can be found anywhere.

Yeah well I see what you mean about gathering all the supplies and I agree with you to a point.
But Red Dead Redemption had the tedious skinning and flower-picking scenes, and to do that realistically...well I just hope that's not what you had in mind.
But gathering actual water, hunting, and restocking will work a lot better than Fallot NV's system of picking up bottled and canned supplies and downing them whenever the meter tells you to.
