With #ImmersiveWasteland2 #SurvivalMode it took all week to get my character to Level 20 and into a suit of X-01 power armor with a badass combat shotgun to go full Ghoul Slayer on Croup Manor, instead of being able to do it leisurely in one sitting like vanilla

I’m still not sure how I feel about the #ImmersiveWasteland2 mod collection

On one hand, it was clearly not made for me as a gamer

On the other hand:
- it completely reinvents gameplay
- massively increases difficulty in a meaningful way while practically eliminating obnoxious nuisances
- paces progression differently, so you really have to work on building your character
- makes #SurvivalMode playable and enjoyable without replacing it with a full Fallout 76 style overhaul like Advanced Needs 76
- has a consistent, gloomy style more in keeping with the theme, setting, and tone of the franchise
- replaces all textures with grittier, older looking ones, which reinforces the style
- takes forever and a metric shit-ton of caps to get into your first suit of power armor, and all the additional differences that makes to how you strategize and survive
- comes with 20–30x the nuclear fire straight out of the tin compared to “A StoryWealth”, and a solid 100x compared to vanilla
- provides a wholly novel experience to a game I’ve played to death
- and makes for great screenshots, WTAF

So I guess I both love it and hate it equally, although it troubles me further that I can qualify exactly what I love about it, but can’t qualify the hate

I suppose it doesn’t matter whether it’s a bad good-choice or a good bad-choice, stylistically speaking, since this illustrated-ambience lighting is giving me extreme dizziness and nauseation—almost as bad as early VR headsets 😑
