Hello!
I am a new SH5 player and I am aware that Ubi dropped the ball on this one. I am not familiar with the details but suffice to say that the general feel I got was that Ubi did a sim and left it up to the community to fix and polish it, right?
So please allow a few questions from a newbie:
1. Is the game playable with NO MODs, just patched to 1.2?
2. Are there mods that significantly alter the game experience?
Basically, I would like to play the game as accurately as possible (but with external views and cams, I am an eye-candy whore!) and do the "hunt" as realistic as possible. I once read in SH3 that good players can target the front, mid, or back hull of the ship for maximum damage, I'd like to get to that level of awesomeness. I assume at this point that this is not do-able with no mods.
So, are there mods that I should be installing right-the-hell-now? Are there mods that alter the game experience in a good way and should be installed for a first-time playthrough? Are there mods that alter the game experience so much that it is better to leave it for later playthroughs when I am more experienced?
I know there are a ton of mods and there are threads about these as well, but I would like to throw my concerns out first. "Too many cooks spoil the broth" as they say so I don't want to mod my game so much that I don't know what went wrong where, especially as I am a total newbie to this game.
Any help and advice appreciated! Thanks!
