I mean i stil l can carry a ton of ammo. i can go days without food and sleep and not have it really affect me that much. is it because i'm early on in the game?

I'm playing an Very Hard and hardcoe, yet it still seems like a stealth build kills all like it did in FO3.

It doesn't really make it harder. It's just some survalist stuff.

I find the limb damage to be actual added difficulty though.

I find the harder version not hardcoe actually harder. The hardcoe is just their rendition of FWE IMO. :fallout:

Also your companions aren't essential.

Yeah, I'm on hardcoe / hard right now not having too much trouble. Not really making that much of a difference difficulty wise, but adds a great layer of immersion.

It's acctualy becus of that mod that they made HC mode.

That's because "hardcoe" sounds like a difficulty setting. "Easy > Normal > Hard(core)"

The naming is bad, that's all. Should have called it "Realism Mode" or "Survival Mode" or something like that.

People get mixed up with thinking hardcoe is an difficulty it is not all it is is adding relism to game like above said the naming is bad.

Well, some of it is definitely supposed to increase difficulty. For example, the stimpacks only healing over time, and crippled limbs being harder to cure. I've found that those two things definitely make combat a little more tactical. But as for food, water, and sleep... it's fairly easy to keep those up, especially since most of the water in NV is pure, unlike FO3's irradiated water.
