Well, yeah, I knew it was still gonna be harder than the base game, it's just sliiightly easier than normal MISERY.
I find that I'm actually pretty good at ultra-realistic game-changing mods like Wanderer's Edition, MISERY, Project Nevada, etc.
I think it's my tendency to be able to sit there for hours at a time, patiently waiting through the loading screens after death and trying again at a different angle. I'm never actually that great at the game itself, it's just dependent on patience.
I'm the opposite. I'm good at games (cept for EYE for some reason), I just have little patience if it isn't a strategy game. If it isn't one, then I just play to have fun, when I stop having fun, I leave. Strategy games I am willing to sit for hours to watch my little soldiers kill everything. Realism is good and all, but when it stops being challenging and fun, and starts being boring and stupid unfair, I bail. Cataclysm had that problem, among others.
