Second run.
I never played Fallout 3 on hard because it was boring. Took no more skill, just longer to kill everything.

Hardcore.
But if it gives me Morrowind flashbacks, I'm out. Like, fun goes away at the cost of immersion.
FATIGUE DRAINED WHILE RUNNING. You need fatigue to cast spells successfully and hit things successfully. So I have to walk everywhere in order to hit the hordes of cliff racers.
And the Steam version of Morrowind makes me jump through a thousand hoops to mod it, so fuck that. I've modded Oblivion on Steam, though. Mostly fan patches. I love the vanilla game too damn much to do anything besides add horses and a house to Shivering Isles.

Hardcore all the way on the first run. In Fallout 3 I always had too much ammo, too much money and food items were useless. Now I'll have a reason not to hoard ammo and I'll be spending money on food which is now vital. It should bring back that survival struggle which was quite fun and went missing at levels 5 and up.
Hardcore, hopefully it will bring back that feeling from the first 20 minute of Fallout 3 where you were shitting yourself due to lack of stimpaks and ammo.
Hardcore for sure, start off on normal difficulty but I may increase it after playing for a while. Also, I've decided to start off as blackheartedly evil as I can be (I usually play through as a good guy the first time for some reason).

OH WHAT FUN!!!!
Im trying it on hardcore first.
I'm almost certainly going to play vanilla first, and switch to hardcore once I know "the lay of the land" and all that. I'm really bad at planning beforehand and my usual strategy in games like Fallout 3 and the like is "Run in really fast and proceed to smash faces". Something tells me that wouldn't work too well for a hardcore playthrough.
I'll go easy first, beat the game and switch to hardcore. The game is made to played multiple times after all 
Might have been ninja'd to this, but as far as I am aware:etherlance said:
You do less damage.
You take more damage.
Bullets have a weight in a similar manner to the original Fallouts (so for example, 12 10mm rounds (10mm pistol clip size) might have a weight of 1, or something to that effect, with missiles and nukes weighing more). Basically meaning you can't be a mobile armoury anymore.
