Forum:What difficulty level do you play on?

I play on very hard and hardcore mode. The most distinctive thing about this is deathclaws are pretty hard and I am with Caesars Legion so veteran rangers are extremely hard to kill. The speed of cazadores are only matched by the viciousness of their stings which is absolutely lethal. This kind of playing adds more strategy to the game instead of going around and just blasting, for example trying to fight a deathclaw head on is not a good idea since they will kill you at max level in 2-3 hits. A deathclaw alpha male can kill you in one swing, although probably not at max level. Crippling the legs of a deathclaw makes it easy to kill since you can run away and shoot it. So anyway I was wondering what difficulty levels and what not you guys play on.--Terminator512 17:03, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

My first game, i did normal diff, hardcore. 2nd did hard diff, no hardcore, and every game after that has been on very hard, and hardcore. Lately I been playing fallout 3 goy edition on very hard, and one major difference (other than me missing hardcore mode) is the Deathclaws in NV are WAY f...ING harder than the ones in fo3.Pappy002 06:26, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I played New Vegas before 3 and when I saw my first Fallout 3 deathclam I practically crapped meself, I ended up mowing it down swiftly with my Chinese Assualt Rifle, of course this made me fell 10 feet tall and bullet proof when I came back to the Mojave...

Very Easy without hardcore on. I don't play this game for a challenge and I don't enjoy tedious game features. If I want challenging, I'll put TF2 on. Besides, if you ask me, it's more realistic to be able to drop things in one or two hits, especially if you're packing a .308. I&#39;m the best at space!

Normal. I find it a decent challenge without being ridiculous. I mean there comes a point when you have to have some resemblance of reality. I don’t want the enemy to drop like flies but if I score a head shot and it takes more than two rounds to drop them then it’s just to unrealistic for me. As for hardcore I don’t play that mode, but I tend to impose the same type of things on myself anyway. I drink/eat/sleep regularly, perhaps more often than hardcore requires. The main reason I don’t play hardcore is the simple fact that you need a Dr bag for crippled limbs instead of a stimpac. Those damn Dr bags are to scarce and the parts to make them are even scarcer. Deathclaws don’t bother me much, as far as the 2-3 hits to kill you that’s the same on any difficulty. But once you learn where they tend to be located you simply learn to keep a sharp eye out when you’re near them. What I hated was the Cazadors. Especially on Honest Hearts, every time you turned around another swarm of them were coming at you. ReapTheChaos 07:07, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Doctor bags aren't that hard to find, every doctor in the game sells them, and everything you need to make them. Every game I've played, I ended up with way more than I need, ended up selling them at the end of each game except my last one, I just didn't collect/make as many. The bad thing is that they weigh 1 lbs. each, and I carry at the very least 6 at a time, one for each limb, and one extra, and when I get more than that, i store them in my dumpster.Pappy002 08:50, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
