Actually, you've probably "done" somethings WITH the DLC you just don't know about. It added quite a few new perks to the game, and some other changes/additions, likely you've taken advantage of some of those already without realizing. I'd just leave good enough alone, and youtube the ending if you feel you need that authentic experience.
Yeah, I thought that might be the case. Hence the "'" around "done". I deleted the Oblivion DLC from my harddrive since I needed the space and could reinstall when I wanted to... and then I wanted to see/show something so I loaded up Oblivion and it was... wonky. Still worked, but basically said "Here be monsters, procede at your own risk."
How many endings will I have to youtube to see the one I should have gotten? I heard there were 200 possible endings, but I have to assume it's a matrix of maybe 5 or 6 totally different endings.
I managed to finish all the main New Vegas achievements just a few days after it came out, and I really felt the need to go for 100% after putting all that hard work in (plus I have always been curious if they take away your 100% status for games that have DLC released after you got 100% on them, and it felt like a good opportunity to experiment. Turns out they don't, New Vegas still appears in my list of 100% games).
I thought I'd had one of my 100%ers redacted after the release of some DLC. I have no proof however... so I'll have to accept your word on it.
But 100%- that means you played the "realistic mode", eh? How did you find it?
There's a part of me that really thinks I want to play these games that way. I already mentioned my dislike of abusing fast travel, and I think the idea that I don't have to sleep for months on end is absurd. And I only have to eat if I've been damaged in battle? Do I ever shower? I don't think I want to have to empty my bladder and bowels 4 times in the game's 24 hours... but I think I would welcome the extra layer of reality. On the other hand, I think I'm carrying ~300 lbs of armor, guns, empty nuka bottles, tin cans, and steam works. But I'm probably, if I'm honest, carrying about 3,000 lbs of bottle caps (jingle jangle) pre-war money, stimpacks, and ammo which all weighs an ingame weight of exactly 0 lbs. Heck, I have ~50 bobby pins. That's probably a full pocket right there. Where am I carrying these 100 rockets? And the 15 mini nukes? And several boxes of 10 and 5mm?
Don't get me wrong- I exploit the crap out of the system. But only because I can. Having to do a better job of managing my ammo sounds like fun.
Maybe once the game gets to be $15 used for the GOTY edition, I'll grab it to check out the rest of the DLC.
Well, I'll let you know once it hits $15. Assuming they make a GotY edition, that is. ;)
Did you see the Game Informer cover art for Borderlands 2?
