leetboon Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, I started playing again few days ago but ran into few problems. First of all, I want to play with Hardcore and Very Hard settings with all the nice stuff that comes along with Project Nevada. However, I soon discovered that I have to put about three SMG clips into a light armored enemy in order to kill it. That's just simply not what I want from the game. I still want it to be realistic enough to make some sense. With this in mind my question now is: would you recommend me to turn the general difficulty setting to Normal, or change PN settings instead? I want the game to be challenging, but not in the way that I have to spend all my ammo in order to kill one puny Legion scout...Then a completely another topic. First I started playing a 'survival' archetype character, meaning that I went for the usual Guns, Repair, Survival. It was alright for a while but now at lvl 9 I'm actually utterly bored with it. This is probably because I played a similar character few years ago and don't feel like playing the game through again in the same way. So, now I've been thinking of starting all over and go either a shotgun or an EW build. Which one would you recommend. Obviously it's a matter of personal preference but I'd love to hear general comments from people who have played the game through with both 'builds' -- which one is more 'fun' in the long run? One thing to also keep in mind: I want to roleplay a bit, at least to the extent that I don't want to figure out from websites where to get the best gear for my character. I find it more enjoyable when I just randomly run into something new and cool. Edit: I got the feeling that I should maybe add a few more lines about the general play-style that I'd be interested in :D I find Project Nevada's bullet time and sprint extremely fun, and these two make me want to play a shotgun build in a similar way how the Vanguard class works in Mass Effect (bear with me here). In other words, I fancy the idea of a high risk, high reward playstyle where I need to sprint next to my enemy, activate bullet time, and then shoot away. I just don't really know if this actually works in FNV that well. The EW (crit) build also sounds nice, and maybe a bit more 'viable' as well, but on the other hand I get the feeling that I would enjoy normal guns over laser pew pew in the long run. Hmm... Finally, any other mods you would recommend for a Hardcore/Very Difficult run? I have a bunch already but maybe I missed something.... Cheers!
