You’d think the 'Dragonborn' would be a little more, you know, hardy. You also can’t just plop down on the ground and sleep you have to find an inn or a friendly house or eventually learn how to craft camping supplies – supplies which, of course, use up carry weight. Except that survival mode also significantly reduces your character's maximum carrying capacity, so inventory management becomes an even bigger headache than it normally is. OK, fine, so you carry a lot of food, bundle up, and rest whenever you can.
