It's a lot of things.

What you collect isn't just a set of static numbers that lack any and all surprise.

What is out there constantly breaks form.

Your adventuring is mostly self-guided instead of waypoints, quests in your quest log and so forth.

And yes, the challenge. Stuff is intimidating and difficult but it's beatable if you pay attention.

Darksouls always seemed quite linear to me, not really requiring waypoints. I understand you can pick the path you want to take through the game, but its like walking around an interconnected maze more than what bethesda games try to do.  I confess I don't know what you mean by things breaking forms.

Anyway, nothing against darksouls but this seems more like personal preference in style or feel of game than distinct superiority in mechanics or design.

Wondering when this is likely to come on sale. Maybe I have quite a bit longer to wait?? Gah.
Been on sale a few times now.

Pretty sure it was 40% off a few weeks ago.

40% ??? Curses.

Well now I really wish I had checked this thread again before cracking and purchasing at full price on steam!!

Oh well, in my mind I'm just going to balance this out with all the stuff I bought on sale over the years.


Now a question: Recommended mods? My download of the game will be ready in a few hours so it's time I got prepared.

I was thinking of playing with Survival Mode, and going Iron Man for extra challenge. Not so interested in the story really anyway. But maybe I should be playing with some mods to make it even harder? As far as I understand it the way the game is built it is super easy to get food and drink anyway due to crafting, so maybe there are some gameplay balancing mods or restrictions I should be thinking about the purify the experience more. Anything to make it play a bit more like STALKER would be good.

Every time somebody posts in this thread now a glint of hope lights up inside me that it is about the CS being released.

You keep letting me down, bay12!

Well, there is the unofficial patch which is recently released (some days ago or so).
If Skyrim's Unofficial patches are anything to go by, this will be among the most important mods you download.
(It is even made by the same mod author of Skyrim's.)

Thanks, I'll go with that.

Anything else that goes well with survival?

I was thinking of using this difficulty and realism overhaul mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5195/?

I would advise against downloading too many game-changeing mods though.
At least until you have "completed" the game at least once.
But that's just my opinion.

I get that, but I don't have much faith in Bethesda to deliver a play experience that does it for me. None of their vanilla games since Morrowind has. Survival mode looks good though.

Well, there is this camping gear mod.. (I forgot its name.)
Which allows you to place tents and fireplaces wherever you want.
That should, in a way, counter the "sleep to save" feature Bethesda has implemented in survival.

Though I would also recommend almost any mod,
which prevents enemies from becoming bullet sponges (But still remains deadly enough to pose a challenge.).

Doesn't Survival Mode disable mods? Or at least break the majority of them?
Because if this has suddenly changed I would like to know.

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.
