A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I tried Hardcore22v2 and it was definitely not for me. Made even the first mission with Jackie kind of a shitshow when added to everything else. Also had to turn off reinforcements during quests from ENC, at least in act 1.
I removed that trio, and am instead trying Gunsensical and a handful of additional mods recommended by the author. It looks like this accomplishes a similar goal of making combat more lethal on both sides without being as extreme about it.
Also discovered Flashback Fixer, to make you as invincible as you wanna be during Johnny's memories, scripted car shootouts, and other such scenes where you're so gimped by the story that it could be impossible to continue with mods beefing up combat.
Not at all content or game balance related like most of these, but I also have to shout out Arasaka Cyberarms. You can make one or both arms cyber in several different styles, and then pick one of like 2 dozen colors too. Also has options for flashier mantis blades and monowire.
