I don't look forward to playing through on Survival Mode, not because I don't like the challenge but because its just not fun to me.

Maybe I am too spoiled with Skyrim and how easy mods made surviving that game. Maybe i'm nitpicking, but I found Survival mode just sucked the fun right out of the game and became taxing and more stressful then I like in my Bethesda games. Also the constant "thirst" (and even more so when you use a stimpak), the two items of food I have to eat just to be satiated is so ridiculous. I have slept outdoors before (in real life), in a sleeping bag, and tho I didn't get a great nights rest, I wasn't tired when I woke up.

They just implemented it based on just the game assets. Its like Bethesda doesn't know squat about outdoor survival or didn't bother to really look into it. The sleep method in survival mode is frustrating. Also you MUST sleep in a bed mattress, not a sleeping bag or even on the ground cause your character will still be tired which I found ridiculous. Not when I am scrounging around looking for a place to sleep just to save the game. I did feel like I was fighting for my life, but only during stressful gun fights and battles. I get it, its suppose to be this ultimate hardcore hard level of play. And when I finish said "tasks" I don't feel any sense of accomplishment. Survival mode doesn't feel like feels like work.tasks. After playing in Survival Mode for quite awhile now I have come to the conclusion that it brings nothing fun to the game.
