i saw while loading between entances that xp doesn't matter whether it is hard or not
i blipped up quick and i barely got a chance to read it
if that is the case i will change from very hard to easy or something since i get maybe 2 hours to play every 4 days or so

If you mean to say the XP gained doesn't change if you're playing easy or hard, I think you're wrong.

I believe it does.

Let me double check though, Im not 100% sure, can someone confirm?

No it doesnt, at least it doesnt if the game loading screen is correct.

Correct, you gain more XP with a higher difficulty. The tip in the loading screen explains that a higher difficulty increases your XP rewards.

Sweet. Thanks for confirmation.

It worked that way in FO3, but this is NV, it could've been different. So far, I've only ever played Normal + hardcoe..

It's different the difficulty doesn't affect xp earned.

Then what does it do, apart from making enemies harder? No benefit?

Yea, the tips in the game confirm it, changing difficulty doesn't change XP gain in New Vegas, I like that.

so the experience gained does not matter if you are on very easy or very hard unlike the F.O.3
i have been playing in very hard mode without the hardcoe mode, i think i will restart and play it in hard core on normal or something
but half of you that replied said higher difficulty brings higher experience like in F.O.3, so who knows the right answer?
