A article I've written about Fallout: New Vegas. It contains what Hardcore mode actually makes you have to do in game differently and the special reward we are awarded with upon completion.

Fallout: New Vegas was released just Tuesday in North America and just yesterday in Europe. New Vegas is about the player being betrayed and left for dead. After being patched up by the doctor while simultaneously creating your character, you’re left with an option before heading out of the operations room. To switch Hardcore mode on (which isn’t recommended) or keep it off and play the game Fallout 3 style.

    That really is a kick in the balls. I was expecting a cool ingame item or something.

    I think the reward for Hardcore mode is Hardcore mode itself.

    However, touting there'll be a special reward and having it be a trophy/achievement... I hate modern gaming.

      Can't hate it too much - since things can always be added in later during a patch update, or have an effect on any DLC. That's also a part in how gaming itself has changed.

        I actually hate DLC as well, as a rule. And since Bethesda are involved here, we know it won't be free. Good, maybe, but certainly not free. And being rewarded the right to pay for something isn't a proper reward.
