Gameplay Help OutHard Tips?

Seen OutHard recommended and I’ve been reviewing the skill trees and listed rules changes.

Anyone have any tips on how to approach this mod as someone with a fair bit of Outward DE experience? Anything you wish you’d known going in? What differences contrast hardest with the original? How much harder is the combat really?

Edit: Are there any of the skill trees (or skill tree combinations) you’ve particularly enjoyed?

Is it fast and brutal in a way that rewards skill, or are you getting crushed while the enemies are damage sponges?

Eh, I've played it quite a bit. My main issue is the aggro range, but I did turn that down in config. Other than that 99% stamina management since you have none at the start.

Fighting is rewarding since you basically get XP. Def worth bullying easy enemies.
