I am doing my first playthrough and started on Normal...however, i shoulda just went straight to hard like i usually. Now im wondering...i tried the mod that allows u to drink a potion to change difficulty but it doesnt seem like it really worked. Now i have two options...i can go with Flash mod

or FCR

my buddy told me FCR was great...but he played it on the hardest setting and said that it took him a really long time because he had to redo fights many times. Unfortunately, i dont have nearly the amount of time to game so while i want a tough challenge i dont want to spend 3 to 4 hours trying to get through one fight...has anyone used these two different mods? And if so...can i just install either of them and continue my playthrough or do they require u to start over?

FCR, but it gets much harder. I say FCR because FCR contains all the changes of Flash mod and more.
