I vaguely remember wanting to try out some overhauls, but they ended up being too far reaching when really all I wanted was a few key features. After that, you're stuck with modular mods that aren't as good, or have a different interpretation/implementation and end up not being quite what you wanted. Combat overhauls are a good example - they all end up changing a shitload of behaviours or needing a lot of patching to work alongside other mods, when all I really wanted was something to balance out enemies in the vanilla game being bullet sponges.

If all you wanted is a non-bullet sponge, Survival difficulty from Bethesda works fine.

So the Cannibal perk is actually worth something, I'd say the mod is doing it's job

I agree Horizon does suffer from feature creep though

If anything the mod underestimates the value of Endurance & HP.
If you went high Endurance build, you will tank a LOT of things by virtue of hitpoints and perks.
Hunger doesn't impact you much.
Hell, I drank dirty water and safe purified water only as a pre-combat buff.
Rads are nothing if you have the buffer HP to spare either. And there's a perk that converts radiation level into damage resistance.

What's surprising is Cannibal has no downsides except for Companions bitching about it.

I mean I feel like there are some roleplaying downsides
(Any companion except Strong) dislikes that. :lol:

'How much for a box of shotgun shells?'

'Oh, that's... expensive. How about if I sell you this slightly damaged mini-nuclear launcher?'

:lol: Yeah, Horizons economy doesn't make sense.
The overall game got easier and easier once Danse is available as companion.

Couldnt find a better thread to ask so I was wondering if there ended up being good mods for this? Was thinking about going back to it but never really got into the mod scene like I did for Skyrim. Anything good? Robust mod community at all? Worth the effort? Thoughts?

Seems that the community is robust enough as to have quite a few modlists that are different enough. Might want to start from there before deciding whether you'd rather dive into setting up your own list instead,

Wasteland Reborn is being actively worked on right now, I would suggest either checking that out or waiting until it hits 1.0 (SoonTM)

I don't really recommend any of the other modlists that exist right now
