I'm on survivalist and surprised how easy it is. i was expecting enemies to be bullet sponges but honestly still only takes a few bullets to kill all normal ones. named ones take a bit longer. i'm expecting it to get harder as i progress or level up i suppose. I made mistake in first town where you rescue the people under attack, the very first main quest. I didn't understand where the power armor was, i ended up fighting all the bandits including the deathclaw with few weapons and ammo i started within in first 30 minutes of game play and i beat them all, it took me about 5 reloads but i was able to kill them all and deathclaw without any autosaves in middle of battle. On survival, without using power armor. Only thing i can think of is game auto levels like oblivion so everything is super easy in beginning an will scale up hard later, if not then then need a harder mode! I noticed on survival mode food heals me and is super easy to come across, like infinite stimpacks, previous games food didn't heal on hardest mode. So that's an odd change.. Anyway i'll play through this round on survival see if things change later, otherwise i'm still i'll play again once hardcore balance mods come out in future which i'm sure is a long time from now, so i'll enjoy what i got for now :smile: Not really complaining too much i'm just wondering if gets easier or harder more i progress on survival difficulty. First 10 hours so far have been a breeze, i've wiped out many areas full of bandits without much issue, bandits with mini guns and all, using my tactics in used to use in my old counter strike days must give me an advantage though. On other hand i've noticed no bugs at all, not even npcs glitching out standing in odd places or on objects etc, i've had 0 crashes, and my 6 year old pc with only graphics card upgraded to 980gtx but using first gen i7-920 cpu 12gb ram etc. my game auto-detected at ultra high and is runnning smooth, i didn't touch any settings just let it default to 1080p ultra high preset. i"m impressed honestly this is least buggiest bethesda game i've ever played, in past games i would crash at least once a half hour, even skyrim and worst so in fallout 3 games and before and would take a while to figure out how to reduce the crashes enough to make me want to play.
