Hud or no hud?

Hey guys and gals, do any of you play the game without heads up display?

I have recently been trying it out and I'm liking it although it does have its downfalls. I like that your Pipboy becomes a more important tool in terms of where you are, how much ammo and health you have and your rads etc.

I dislike how you can't see if you are hidden or not (my first stealth character) but when you encounter enemies it is more of a suprise without the red markers and it is interesting meeting people in the wastes (random encounter) and trying to determine if they are friendly or not.

I like it but I think I may revert back to hud until my next character.

I was wondering whether you have tried or use this gameplay and what your opinion of it is.

I always have the HUD on, but with the sneak indicator (that says if you can be seen or not) disabled, as well as the Points of Interest markers on the compass disabled.

Hud as usual, but with enemy/NPC markers removed.

I gather the option to disable specific features is PC only. I unfortunately use the Playstation 3 as I don't own a monster PC (nothing against the Playstation 3 or PC gamers just stating fact).

It's modding, not from the menu, but yeah. I keep the HUD on, I would only keep it off if there were some sort of visual effect associated with low health.
