Hardcore in such a good game would ruin it, plus we're all going to be in our own ways nubs to this game, mainly when it comes to learning the areas in which the game takes place, and anyway, hardcore people aren't exactly the nicest.
As well as the fact that RP and Hardcore don't walk hand in hand but stand at opposite ends of the party eyeing off the same girl. Man will it be a fight when they both walk up to her at the same time- getting side tracked, anyway you get the idea.
