Doing first playthrough on nightmare Is it more fun to get alien

It's more fun to do whatever the fuck you want to do.

Fuck off outta here and play your shitty game.

Alien combat powers can easily break the game to a Dishonored levels, especially if you get them in the first half of the game.
Otherwise: I don't think there is much point in avoiding alien powers completely unless it has some sort of roleplaying or narrative meaning to you. It does not add anything to the game, though it may help it being more challenging.

I did a minimum combat oriented mods in general (only got level one guns and level one gunsmithing, one health upgrade), occasionally bought the odd progression-related mod (mobility and inventory, repair, hacking, eventually that mimic ability) and held on to the rest of the mods just to make things challenging.
I only started spending my mods about 2/3rds into the game where the combat started getting really tight at times. That is where I got my psychoshocks and higher combat and recycler yields.
The game rewarded me for it, by actually staying challenging even in the late game, since I had to burn through materials faster and with the late game, I was forced to deal with actual ammo and material shortages by being creative.

Just do what you want for your first playthrough. Pure plays don't mean much other then achievements.

Do whatever you want, game gets boring halfway through. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Get the 'Prey for Death' mod. It adds a bunch of the stuff they cut out for the casuals.

Wait. What? There is actually mod support for this? Already? What? This is an Arkane game we are talking about, right?

Not really mod support. Just somebody unlocking existing files and tweaking some numbers with config files.

Why do faggots like you stick around? Why do douchebags who hate video games, despise everything to do with video games, and just hate life in general stick around shitposting on a video game board?

OK, that sounds a bit suspicious, but fuck me if this works... damn that is awesome. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! God knows this game can be made into GOTYAY with just some tweaking and mods. If this catches on...

Well first: git gud

Second: adding complexity is a more interesting way to ramp the difficulty than bullet sponge enemies.
