Forum:Most annoying thing about hardcore mode?

Everyone who's serious about FNV has played hardcore. i just couldn't live with myself without doing it for a long time, but finally on my third playthrough i thought "screw it". After playing on normal for a long time i realized that the biggest relief was not having to worry about my companions who would normally die instantly (i'm not naming any names Rex) from poison (nine times out of ten f*@&ing cazadors). Later in the game when i stopped using companions the nicest thing was carrying as much ammo as i wanted, which made weapons like the missle launcher a lot less stressful to use. Anyone else?

Nope, the only thing that pissed me off was the cloud at the Sierra Madre. I'm trying to figure out how to get past two stacked radios and I'm forced to think fast because my health is slowly dying away! Invisible walls I could handle, newbie killing creatures North of Goodsprings, well that requires more than just patience, but draining my health just because I like to take my time!! Sorry Obsidian but you've gone too far, I don't like being controlled whilst playing an RPG any more than the next guy. However, I did enjoy the original developers story, but when you're killing me as I'm trying to experience it, well don't expect me to be cheery about it and don't be surprised when I say I didn't like that DLC because I felt like I was being nudged the whole way into traps and into death, over, and over, and over, and over... --98.243.106.164 03:39, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're expected to handle dangers without a crutch every step of the way. Horrible. Health degenerates slowly in the Madre and food is plentiful. It's not controlling, it's posing a challenge. Challenges are good for you. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 15:49, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

How it wasn't even somewhat realistic. Dehydration happens a hell of a lot faster in real life than in does in that game, especially in a desert.--76.19.204.246 15:36, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Well considering that the Courier and the majority of the humans who inhabit the Mojave have lived in the wretched conditions of the wasteland for their entire lives, it is understandable that they are more resilient to hunger and thirst than we would be. --Fezgod 16:00, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Your body doesn't work that way. You can't be "resistant" to dehydration or starvation. Definitely "accustomed" to the feelings of starvation, dehydration, and sleep deprivation, but you can't resist them. Oh, and anyone know why my account got blocked?

The Cloud is trivial even on Hardcore if you have Rad Child. Implant GRX 2x lets you get all the gold out the long way without glitches or exploits. There are 25 Prickly Pear plants from Gun Runners to Field's Shack to Northern Passage. It has been the staple of my diet in Hardcore. The thing that is annoying to me is the PC has several sources rad-free water, access to thousands of empty bottles and caps, but can not fill or reuse them. GRPeng 23:05, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Loading my game to find that over the course of one game crash, I got 600+ dehydration and 500+ hunger. x.x Nitty Tok. 23:17, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
