Skyrim
Still relatively new to the game (started playing it in the last couple of years) and I’m trying my first run on survival mode, currently loving it!
Oh nice!
You know, after over 5k hours I still haven’t tried survival mode. Most of that playtime is before it was a thing but I’m guessing I probably have at least a few hundred hours after survival was introduced and I never bothered to try it. Maybe someday.
It was a little annoying at first, but now it feels very natural. Night is cold and dangerous and you get tired, so you sleep. You get hungry and food is found everywhere, so you eat. Wear warm clothes and don’t spend too much time in the cold without protection.
It kinda makes me realize that I’ve been looking for this exact thing in open world games, now I’m trying to think up some rulesets for BOTW/TOTK and RDR2 to make them similar. Maybe a survival mod exists for Red Dead?
I’ll probably give it a shot the next time I have an itch for Skyrim. I’m not usually one for survival games but it seems worth trying.
