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.
