Cold Resistance on Survival Mode

[thelebk]

Team does anyone know if thew Nord race base 50% frost resistance applies to the cold mechanic from natural exposure in Survival mode? Is the Nord ability only versus magical sources and completely independent of the warmth mechanic?

Nord race have natural resistance to cold exposure with Survival ON. If that's what you are asking.

I think environmental resistance is 25%. That 50% only applies to magic.

That would make sense, it does not seem to be partial immunity.

As jss1138 said, Nords have 25% resistance to cold environments (+25 warmth points);
Khajiits have +15 warmth points;
Orcs have +10 warmth points;
Argonians have -25 warmth points (they get cold faster).
The other races don't have any warmth bonus/penalty.

Warmth & Cold mechanic is not related to frost resistance (spells/magicka) in any way.

While not related to frost resistance per se, Frost damage from spells and dragon breath attacks does lower your temperature.
