Survival Mode...love it or hate it?

I never thought I would like it much, so I held off on trying it until yesterday. OMFG...I love it! The first thing I did when I came out off 111 was to actually follow the power line heading south. With the popular weather mod on (forgot its name), I moved really slow through the haze/fog/mist. I nearly died when I cam across a whole bunch of mines, but carefully removed them into my inventory. I now travel by way of stealth ALL THE TIME, since it it too easy to get slaughtered if just running around haphazardly. Anyways, I finally came across a gang of raiders, and had to pick them off from a distance, one by one, including having to run back and hide again several times. I am really looking forward to continuing my adventures today...it is way more fun than vanilla difficulty.

The players who are used to how beth games play (saves and what not.) don't like it mostly.

 

Personally, I would like the to needs progress slower and limit the loot more to make you not worry about your needs much but still supply before going out. Like stalker games.

Love it. It's like a whole new game. Violence is much more satisfying now. I love the wide variety of ways that the world can hurt you.

The brutal needs consequences of the mode can interject it's own unexpected narratives into your playthrough. At one point, I had to stop what I was doing and go on a desperate quest to Diamond City from the top of the map because I had contracted a wicked infection and had no antibiotics. The trip was a desperate fight of searching for beds, water and fighting/avoiding enemies. The experience really felt desperate and exciting and totally unscripted. It was really cool.

Love it!

 

To explain how much this has done for me, when Fallout 4 came out I was a little disappointed. Not because it was a bad game, it just wasn't everything I personally had hoped for. Any disappointment I have is gone now thanks to survival mode. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's almost exactly what I want. The game is completely transformed for me.
