Survival Mode - Paid DLC?
Anyone know if Survival Mode will be a paid DLC?

When I read the column about SM, the words "PC and Console players will get Survival Mode free for one week once it has been released".

To me, that states pretty plainly that we'll have to pay for it.

I'm all for paying for reasonably-sized DLC, but, not for something I can do for free with mods.

Anybody know 100% about whether it will be a paid DLC?

It is going to be paid content.

Pretty much like every other aspect of a game that they can strip out of it's already lacklustre shell.

Confirmed a paid mod

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Chesko working on it with basically everything from it coming from Frostfall & realistic needs and diseases

Fallout 4 got it for free, and there are great mods that make this unneeded for skyrim unless you are playing on console. It is something i would pay for if i had to, since i love the simulation aspects of this mode.

I should add that it's also priced at 800 bethesda bucks, So be prepared to shell out twice for enough to even buy it

Actually I'll keep my superior quality FREE mods instead.

So from what i read this is basically a paid version of frostfall? why even pay?

if its indepth and not total crap like fallout 4 survival mode i wouldnt mind paying a few pounds. i do have mods for servival so it would have to be brilliant.

Because it's a completely new Mini-DLC, Totally nothing like the current free mods available

I mean they even tell you themselves!

Also, we won’t allow any existing mods to be retrofitted into Creation Club, it must all be original content.

:claugh:

Absolutely. Paid mod. And a mod that already existed, at that.

"Creation Club's all-new Survival Mode [...] Both PC and console players will get Survival Mode free for one week"

They are un-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-believable man. Negative review flood incoming for SSE too. I guess they just don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ care at this point.

It's a paid version of Frostfall, Nothing more

[Edit] Actually it's less, You can't build campfires or anything, Literally just gives you an extra hp bar which forces you to eat / stand next to a fire for a while and disables fast travel which is not as deep or interesting as the original free mod it copied.
A victory? Are you really high or just really stupid?
