Don't worry about it. I knew what could happen when posting here and I didn't assume people would not do it. :)
I took a quick check but the time on easier difficulty don't seem that different at all, though I will check in a new game if it has anything to do with that, tomorrow as I'm too much of a wimp to travel from start to the base this late at night (real life, 22:00)! :P
Again, don't worry about spoiling me. If it's something super spoiler'y, then I can probably stop reading most of it if that was to happen! :D
Still, thanks!
