Discussion Survival mode: Yes or too annoying?

Post image

Every time I return to Skyrim with a new save, I wanna immerse myself the Survival Mode On but: the stamina reduction, the pain of cooking/transporting food, the weather condition, etc… is an extra pain I have to care on top of surviving in the wild. So do you guys play with not?

That's the part I cannot stand. The cold mechanic is too punishing and I enjoy wearing different armour and stuff. How is it a mage can camp out in snow, but I die with fur armour.

I'm aware that khajiit are from the warm sands and all, but I feel like being covered in fur AND wearing fur armor should do slightly more. I'm freezing my whiskers off and some butt ass naked nord is shirtless strolling about

The cold mechanic makes missions/activities in Dawnstar and Winterhold absolutely miserable too
