No more unbreakable melee blocking

[Dimensionlord1]

So melee is probably the worst thing about this game. Now when I say that mean melee vs melee. All because of the annoying blocking that enemies can do to block literally every attack no matter what sort of weapon they are blocking with.

Now not sure how difficult this would be, but ideally how to fix this.

1. Power attacks break block. Instead of being blocked and staggering the attacker, power attacks should break block and stagger the person blocking.

2. All attacks while in power armor should be unblockable (normal attacks and power attacks) unless the person blocking is also in power armor. In the case of both people wearing power armor, melee blocking should function the same way as in 1.

Add to that that unmodded blocking doesn't stop all damage and never has. Not in Skyrim and not in Fallout 4.

I'm going to throw in that Supermutants should also be able to break power armor blocking.

Also: how would someone not in power armor, attacking a power armored individual who is blocking, be handled?

Or the other way around. I have to say that high-STR characters (especially on Buffout or with the Grognak's Loincloth legendary and/or Big Leagues perk) should be harder to block or to have their guard broken through. As so often with this game (nor in Skyrim, for that matter) it's an idea that just never got fleshed out properly.
