I both loved and hated the hardcoe mode in New Vegas. I used it on most of my files, but I hated the eat, sleep, and drink mechanics, as while novel at first just because a chore without adding any challenge or fun to the game. What I did love and why I used it was mainly for the stimpaks healing over time instead of instantly, only doctor bags and actual doctors able to heal injured limbs, compainions able to die and having everything have weight, such as ammo. So if they do decide to add a hardcoe/Realism mode, I'd like each function to be toggleable at the start of the game when it is chosen. It may seem a little hypocritical to be able to turn off what you don't like in a hardcoe mode, but it would give us more options and add to the fun of the game. What do you think?

P.S.- Also if they are going to have an Achievement/Trophy for this, just have it say you need at least half of the options on to get the cheevo.

for the achievement you should need all of the options selected, otherwise its way to easy

I think what you're looking at is for mods to mod the hardcoe mode. Leaving set options for hardcoe is the best, since it's meant to be hardcoe, and then PC players can change what they dislike in it.

I don't see any hypocresy in wanting to togle only one of the realism options, either you name it hardcoe mode or iky piky poo. About achievements, I wouldn't touch such a thing even with the point of a pike, but if someone enjoy this I can't see why should be forced to enjoy the game less in order to obtain one of them, I don't think all the options should be mandatory for such achievement.

Well I don't play on PC so I can't just mod it in/out.

And I don't think it should be called hardcoe mode, more like Realism Options or something.
