And I also get less SPECIAL points to start with (an average of 3 points per SPECIAL), and less health and carry weight per level. I've also modded the game to further increase realism and difficulty. Especially early on, I have to look for low risk XP, low risk loot, min-maxing my build and gear as hard as I can.Ģ.
As even at higher levels a few well aimed bullets can kill me I have to be cerebral and really play the 'meta game'. When you die, 9/10 its because you got cocky. The challenge is always to stop yourself from taking risks with your life that you don't need to take. Not letting myself die and reload all the time means that I can't brute force my way through challenging areas. What I'm trying to do is have a tense play experience, where I really have to use judgement and strategy. I am going to try and die as little as possible.
I'm starting fresh again now, so its time for a new thread.ġ. Issues with balance caused me to restart with some alterations to my mod loadout. I initially started a similar thread here. This is a diary of my Fallout 4 survival game.
