No.

Listen if you think a hardest difficulty, like I am suggesting, is too hard for you, then don't play on it. You are insane if you think I expect them to look at this post and then implement it exactly as initial post. I asked for more suggestions but all I've gotten so far are criticisms from paranoid maniacs such as your yourself that their egos will be bruised from not being able to EASILY dominate the HARDEST difficulty.

You are attacking the symptoms and not the real issue, it's a combination of perks in large part that makes the game easy, any build with at least a modicum of thought put into it turns out to be really powerful. I am about 50 levels into my most recent playthrough and I've barely had to use any stims, they are piled up in my inventory. My build is a high agility/luck and pistols approach. I also only play on the hardest difficulty.

Alright cupcake this is going to be my last reply because honestly this forum has been good for my self control. At the beginning I'd get in trouble for just continuing the cycle of flamebait with you but I'm getting better. Maybe the next one I'll just recognize the bait from the beginning and drop it but we all have room to improve. I'd suggest you take a tip from me, cause I know where this is heading for you. Keep the name calling out of it, ease off the language, and just relax man.

Now the final response. I don't have a problem with them making the game harder, go for it. The more and the harder difficulties they add the better. The only problem I have with anything you have said that you don't seem to have really thought through your ideas. Sure they can make a RP difficulty and add a couple stats to make eating and drinking required. Some people like that. Not all do. Sure they can make the game harder, make ammo more scarce, make it more melee focused. Some people like that. Not all do. Sure they could have not added stealth and made it a standard shoot em up. Some people like that. Not all do. What they did instead was put each of those elements into one game and let you choose which ones you want to use. You want ammo to be scarce, don't pick up as much. You want to have to eat and drink, do it. You don't want to sneak, don't. Instead of taking away from the game to make your ideal game they made a game many people could enjoy however they wanted while still letting you do you and play it your way. And then they gave us the modding tools to change it however we wanted, or at least they will shortly. By your logic the game should be how you want it, the things you don't like just flat out removed. You just don't see that how you want the game to be is already a part of the game. It just also happens to have other people's ideal game mixed in with it, you just have to sort out the parts you like from the ones you don't. The only thing preventing you from seeing that is your own mindset. Change that and you're golden.

What the hell does a Hazmat suit have to do with difficulty? Its a tool, an optional one, a logical tool meant to be used. One that has only one purpose. The only ego bruised here is yours bud

I have to side with the feedback the OP is getting on this thread.

If you want the a harder difficulty setting, address things that will really add difficulty.

As has been pointed out, Food, Water, and Sleep, are easy to come by and don't add to difficulty. They can add to immersion, but they aren't hard to do.

Again, as someone else mentioned, removing the Power Armor would be a decent way to increase the difficulty since you wouldn't have an alternate Hazmat suit that gives you even greater protection from Rads and additionally protects from pretty much ever other kind of damage you'll receive, be it falling damage, radiation, energy, projectile, etc.

Given your suggestions one could easily suggest that only pipe weapons be used, thereby greatly reducing max damage from weapons and restricting the damage type to just projectile.

I have to be in the feedback group though and wonder why you even started this thread since you say in one of your comments that you don't think Bethesda will actually implement this in any case.

I could just assume that you are not on a PC, and so lack the ability to install Mods, and are indulging in fantastic denial since the reality is that this will not be implemented and you can't Mod your way there any time soon.

This could just be a Trolling Thread though....

Listen you complete and utter lunatic. These are my suggestions to make the hardest difficulty level of this game actually hard. Do you understand what that means? Is there a trustee or orderly I need to call to get that through to your insane mind?

I'm loving the insanity of these forums.

Yea just gonna call for a Moderator now before it gets ugly

Again, the insanity here is very entertaining.

It's hard to figure out because it doesn't make any sense. This is a world built heavily on nuclear technology that met its end up because of nuclear technology and is now completely plagued by radiation. Hazmat suits absolutely SHOULD exist in this world. For what it's worth, I have never even used the hazmat suit in this game. I tried one on once to see what it looked like, and then I stored it away. It offers zero damage resistance, and I can basically equal the rad protection with my power armor.

This is one of the most bizarre suggestions for this game that I've ever heard. Honestly the hazmat suit isn't even all that useful. It's hardly what I'd call overpowered. Regardless, the point of a radiation resistant suit is to...resist radiation. You don't think it should exist, but you're yet to provide a valid reason as to why this is the case.

You had better tell on me..before it gets out of hand right?

Every one of the things mentioned by the OP are already doable in game simply by using the art of self control.


I would rather the devs spend time and resources on things that aren't already available to me.


Vehicles, new locations, things like that.

Closed for review.

If I remove all the flames more than half the thread would be gone. Just not worth it.
