I'm pretty tired of being cold all the time so I decide to head south, though I immediately encounter a blizzard, which forces me to return to Dawnstar for a bit, and later I have a harrowing few minutes of trying to warm myself by a troll's fire while mammoths attempt to stomp me into paste. It feels a bit impolite of them, so I steal as much food and clothing from their homes as I can. This reduces my stamina and magicka recovery, and prevents food from healing me, but the main effect is that the NPCs in Dawnstar constantly tell me I look sick. Unable to cook in the first few fires I come across (and unable to build my own fire and use it for cooking wherever and whenever I want) I scarf down some raw fish meat to answer my growling stomach and am immediately stricken with food poisoning. This may also be because there's simply so much clothing and armor easily found in the game, and even with the mode's reduced carry weight I've got several types of armor and clothing in my inventory. I do find some items with ratings as high as 54, but I never really feel like I'm making a tough choice in terms of what to wear, or that spending time comparing the pros and cons of outfits is worth it. Standard clothing has a warmth rating of 27. I examine each wearable item I find, expecting to have to make difficult choices, sacrificing armor rating for warmth, but it's never really the case. In terms of keeping warm with clothing and armor, though, it feels a bit like they just slapped a warmth rating on items, and too often it's the same rating. There's something enjoyable about warming yourself by the fire in a game, and you can do that in SSE's survival mode. Fast-travel isn't an option in this mode, though at least you can save your game whenever you want.Īlong the way, I try to stay warm. Rather than run toward Solitude, I aim for Dawnstar. Below, enjoy a small supercut of my repeated deaths just as I reach safety.Īfter about five tries I finally make it, after taking a sprinting jump off the first floe and using my healing spell the moment I've got my boots on the next one. For a while, it seems like I simply won't be able to make it: I keep freezing to death the instant I make it to the next floe. Standing on the ice floes, I try repeatedly to swim to the relative safety of land. Granted, the world is mostly covered in snow so it seems unlikely you'd ever become dehydrated (if this hypothetical thirst system let you consume a fistful of snow, that is), but it does feel strange that nothing regarding thirst has been included. There's no thirst system in Skyrim SE survival, which feels like an odd omission. I just wish it wouldn't occur so often: I've scarfed down several apples and five entire cabbages already but I'm still almost always hungry. I do enjoy the hunger notification itself: it's a rather convincing sound effect of a hungry stomach gurgling. As long as you can find a few moments of privacy and a have a few centimeters of magicka, you'll be able to stay alive and heal.Īs I escape the ship and climb out onto the iceberg it hit, the hunger system kicks in frequently-a bit too frequently for my tastes, though that's certainly not exclusive to Skyrim SE's survival mode ( I've griped about the common problems with hunger systems before). You don't automatically regain health over time in this mode, either, though that's not such a big deal in Skyrim since every character is born with a healing spell. In SSE's survival mode, being cold limits you from filling your health meter completely (it also makes lockpicking and picking pockets more difficult, presumably due to shaking fingers). As I splash around in the bowels of the flooded ship, the freezing water eats away my health quickly, and I can only spend a few seconds paddling around before I'm near death.
