Cold is too severe beyond reason

The cold mechanic in this game goes beyond sense. My character is dressed head to toe in furs and woolens, and still dropped dead of cold in a short time. The weather outside wasn't even 'freezing', it was still at the 'cold' level.

This type of thinking would make those northern cultures impossible, such as the Innuit, the Finns, and the Sherpas. These people would all be dead within an hour, no matter how warmly they dressed.

Let's make this northern living a possibility, please, and dial back the effects of cold weather on those well-fortified against the cold.

Note: My idea of dialing it back looks like this:
Note: My idea of dialing it back looks like this:

Character wearing furs and woolens in freezing weather: same effect as character in cotton clothing in cold weather

Character wearing furs and woolens in cold weather: same effect as character in cotton clothing in chilly weather, eg, no cold damage

Personal attacks against others will not be tolerated here, topic locked.

I feel the freezing weather system and clothing warmth levels are appropriate as is, but will continue to monitor the situation to see if any tweaks are needed.
