Tatari - what do you miss by picking it

[rightfn]

Please do not repeat what the game menu says, I have read ten articles on this that copypaste what the game menu says.

What will I not have in this game if I can't earn XP? I have seen some people say you don't get skill points. But I've found skill points in the game and upgraded an ability of my choosing, so I'm not sure if this is true.

I'd guess you'd miss out on increasing your max hp every level

XP is used to level up, each time you level up you gain 2% more maximum health, and earn skill points that can be used in one of three skill trees.

Tatari difficulty just means you will have far less opportunity to spend skill points or increase your maximum health, I'd imagine you can still earn skill points from KK's various investigation reports scattered around the map, and you will still be able to upgrade your maximum health with the various in-game food items, so essentially you lose nothing, you just have less opportunity to increase your power and survivability.

You definitely won't get to fully upgrade all of your skill trees on Tatari difficulty, so you will have to choose wisely throughout the playthrough.

Is it only the investigations that give you XP tho?

The investigation notes do not give XP, on any difficulty, they give SP.

On regular difficulties, XP will earn you skill points (SP) when you level up.
On Tatari difficulty I believe nothing gives XP, I've completed the first chapter and still have zero.

Based on how many investigation notes items are in the game, I think on Tatari difficulty you get a maximum of 380-400 skill points, assuming you are able to find all of them.

I'm saddened by all of this because it means in choosing this difficulty, you experience less of the gameplay -in a game that is already hurting for gameplay- and the combat is going to take much longer not only because of the difficulty but because you can never earn a range of abilities to improve combat.
