why no hardcore mode?

I know new vegas was made by a different team and so on

but in fallout 4 with the whole based building, farming and gathering a mode where we had to eat, drink & sleep.

it just seems like a missed oppertunity to add more to this already great game.

itlll be DLC lmao

seriously though so waiting for a mod for that

Were those aspects of it really good though? I mean having to stop to eat, sleep, and drink just kind of adds tedium to gameplay. It's not like real life where you can adequately judge when you need to do thoses things it's all just a series of timers and bars to watch and fill when necessary.

Adding elements of realism like that to a series like Fallout which is already unbelievably far-fetched as it is (and I'm not just talking Fallout 4 here) seems silly.

to me it would just add a new level of hard more to a already hard early game, limiting space to carry for food & water, finding a place to sleep so you don't have negative stats or even add random event like passing out would just expand the experince.

making it optional, like new vegas, where you can pick to have it or not would just make it more fun imo

[jyuuu]

they probably got rid of it because they also got rid of stats and couldnt figure out how to punish you for not filling your bars

You cook food, delicious foods. You don't have to, or have to eat them of course. All that small stuff just stands in the way of murdering the wasteland. It's like movies and comic books and stuff, it's implied you know they poop, eat, pee, sleep and listen to horrible music and spend half the day on twitter.

If I were to be asked, what one mod would make the game tough I'd say ammo wgt mod. You want to carry 200+ rds of like 3-4 guns, or you want to loot ammo or trash, it makes for a tougher descision then, eating and sleeping. Likely you choose encumbrance and carrying tons of ammo but that's the trade off.
