Not that hard.  If you mean like without even buying stuff from town... it will be possible but you will have to be patient.

A lot depends on what you are trying to do, though.

will there be hunger? (can you starve to death)

[Moonkey]

Of course.

[Michael]

That may actually be my first goal..

Yes, there will be hunger.

I haven't decided 100% if you will "starve to death" or just to the point you can barely move or carry anything.  Death might be preferable in that case because at least then you have options.

So, yes, there will be hunger.  And yes, you can probably starve to death.

how hard will getting food be?

[pspeed]

Also, thirst will be much more of a threat.

3 days without water and you will be severely incapacitated... and it wouldn't have been pleasant getting to that point either.

...where as you could go for weeks without food before reaching that same state.

how hard will getting food be?

That would depend on your skills and where you are.

If you have the forage skill and are in the forests, you will pretty easily find enough food to survive just by poking in the bushes.

If you do not have the forage skill and are unable to kill wild game then you will be in trouble.  Though I guess it's possible that fruit trees might be plentiful enough to happen upon one.

Where fresh water is plentiful, so will food be.

In the desert, you should bring what you need, I think.

how hard would it be to not only survive (keep your self fed and quenched) but thrive?(build a house from gathered resources and explore some skill trees?)

[Michael]

Hmm.. would there be the ability to "adaptation"? Because I watched this one video in Geography in which we were going over a desert, and people lived in that desert. They could last about a month without water...

Maybe a month without a water _source_.  But I seriously doubt a human could last a month without water.  You have to have some liquid eventually.

Given the way skills work it will be very unlikely to have self-taught skills.  So you could live off the skills you setup when you created your character and I'm sure you could build a house and stuff.

...but to get new skills you'd have to acquire them somewhere.  Either from a book or another person.

how hard would it be to avoid getting killed by monsters while living in the wild?

Depends on where you are, what the "monsters" are, and how hungry they are.
