The mod also factors in the armor which players are wearing, which could be particularly immersive as players explore a wide variety of environments across multiple planets in Starfield. Starfield could introduce survival mechanics, but unlike Frostfall it would not have to limit itself to the cold alone. Travelling between hold capitals? Frostfall makes players wary of unrealistic actions like running through rivers in the freezing cold or setting out in a storm by factoring in exposure.
Caught in a snowstorm? Taking shelter in a nearby Nord barrow might lead to a whole new adventure. Frostfall's survival mechanics are great for incentivizing natural, immersive exploration throughout the world. It adds survival mechanics to the game, turning Skyrim's weather from a simple aesthetic change to an important factor in the game that can even turn deadly. Frostfall is one of the most downloaded Skyrim mods of all time.
