Forum:Hardcore mode

Let's get something straight, folks, hardcore mode doesn't change the game, doesn't make it any harder, it just gives it a more realistic feel to the game. I think hardcore mode should be regular mode for any, and all games, not just fallout. A few tips, water is pretty easy to find, believe it or not, so you shouldn't have any trouble quenching your thirst. I suggest that every time you need to eat, drink or sleep, you do all 3 at the same time, sleep, then eat and drink. If you eat and drink before you sleep, you'll wake up hungry and thirsty, so don't waste you food and water if you dont have to. Keep 20 pounds of food and water in your inventory, and say for example if you have 500 rounds of .308 ammo for your rifle, leave 200 or 300 rounds in your house, or where ever you call home, and sell whatever ammo you don't use, say if you don't use energy weapons, or grenade launchers, sell the ammo, there's no point in keeping it and filling your inventory, ammo has weight. After playing on hardcore, regular seems not so realistic, and somewhat boring.173.138.150.41 05:26, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

When I was watching friends playing through Fallout 3 (As they were borrowing the game from me to see what I'd been rambling about.) I would occasionally gripe about how food and water weren't necessary, and, much to their disagreement, that ammo should weigh. I had found it irritating to see massive amounts of ammo stashed in one's pack, and not a lick weighing an ounce. When they announced Hardcore mode, I was probably the happiest I'd been in a month. So, when NV came out, and I began playing, I quickly grew to the point where I would have trouble returning to F3. Simply put, the lack of ammo weight is too much. o__oGiMpLiE 16:55, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
