No, scratch that, it'll be better if you do the sidequests, 'cause you'll have more loot and xp to help you along.

I'd love to see games take a bit more risk on balancing this, but I'm not sure if RPG fans in general are as interested in it as I am.


In other news, I'm full on in Sawyer's New Vegas mod. Hardcore (literally in game and figuratively in the amount of time I am spending...). So much fun. Never played the DLC before so there's some new stuff for me there too.

I was so stoked when I read the details of this mod, but that was a long time ago.  I really, REALLY loved New Vegas on hardcore mode and I know that this mod would only make it better, but... well, I've been trying to push the rest of the way through Skyrim for literally months now and yes, it's a long game, but there was time when I would have polished off a 100 + hour game in a couple of weeks.  I just don't have the time now and I have a huge backlog of games I haven't even cracked the seal on yet.  Makes me wonder if it's worth it to go back to a game I've already played just for the mod.  Keep us updated on your impressions as you move through ti.

Well, I put in about 40-50 hours into the base game when it first came out, and I spent this past weekend feeling a bit under the weather, yet still going to bed around 4 AM....

The new DLCs really help, and the level of options available for combat is staggeringly fun and awesome.  It's the perfect mix of open ended gameplay with good writing that games like Fallout 3 just couldn't quite deliver, and Oblivion fell flat on its face for.  I have never played Skyrim though so I can't compare.

It's probably the best game I've played for having myself do "extra things" just because I find it fun.  Like storing all my extra food in my Novac fridge, with the guns in the footlocker, and armors in the wardrobe.  It's organizing in a way that helps me prepare for future adventures, so it feed back into my base gameplay and the story progression, which is very important to me.

Note though, that this mod will require all the DLCs if you don't already have them, so while I'd say "go for it" if it's basically free for you to do, but if it costs money then maybe you'd prefer to hit the backlog of stuff you've already paid for instead.
