Anyone else play with the Heads Up Display turned all the way down?
I really loved how survival mode changed the game, but wanted a bit more immersion and was kind of lamenting that I had a compass telling me where to go all the time. My husband suggested I turn the opacity down, which...I had never once thought of doing lol. It didn't occur to me just HOW MUCH this would impact gameplay though. No more helpful little target for my arrows, no more insight into whether people can see me when I'm sneaking, no handy dandy red dot to tell me where my enemies are. No way to tell how much health my enemies have until they're literally dying, no way to tell how much health I have until I'm dying. I also get lost all the fucking time (I only let myself look at the map to plan my trips when I leave a town - once I'm outside I have to navigate by the mountains and rivers).
Is this a thing other people do, and I'm an idiot for taking so long to realize? It feels like the game is hard again, which is really fun.
