If you come across a village, don't keep going.Consider running to find a camp or cave to wait out the storm. If you must travel in poor weather, wear appropriate attire. If you do run while you travel, take the occasional rest.

Slow down! You don't need to run/jump everywhere.PC players and Xbox/Playstation players with Special Edition can enhance many of these ideas by adding various third-party mods. There are a wide variety of ideas for how to make the game more realistic, that can be used alone or combined based upon your preferences. Or you can model your character after any favorite person, real or fictional. Beyond that, you can choose to incorporate limitations that make gameplay more realistic or more challenging, as detailed in Increased Realism. At a basic level, many players will give their characters some sort of backstory explaining who the character is. By playing as if your character has a personality and preferences beyond the game's basic statistics, you can add additional depth and interest.

Roleplaying is an optional way of playing the game, that can range from a brief diversion to a full overhaul of the game.
