Aintiarna Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Well then I must be amazing because I don't use power armor or big guns and I play a stealth character and I'm doing great... so great in fact that I'm thinking of switching to a power armor/non-stealth playstyle just so the game is less of a cake walk. Yeah, my stealth character is 'parked'. She was such an uphill struggle to play during the early levels, then I went through a short sweet spot where the stealth was a lot more effective and I was able to lure enemies over mines when they did detect me. Unfortunately a few levels later she turned into a ninja god monster and I confess I got a little bored. I found the same inconsistency in difficulty scaling with levelling on my melee character. Godlike with Jet and psycho at low level, then got killed a lot at level 25+ despite the chems. My BOS character who uses a gattling laser and power armour is the one that seems to be having the most consistent difficulty scaling both moving further south geographically and levelling up. That's the slightly tongue-in-cheek point I was making. It seems the game is most balanced for a non-stealth guns +/- power armour approach.

Aintiarna Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Well I mean at least now we have this: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4253/? "7. Deathclaws travel in packs" :ermm: "8. There is safety in numbers. Even the Super Mutant Behemoths know this." :unsure: I don't think I'm quite ready for this mod yet. My nerves definitely aren't! I'm suddenly reminded of my first New Vegas playthrough when I naively assumed everything would be levelled and thought I'd take the shortcut to Vegas. "Hold up! There are Deathclaws all over the damn place north of here." Don't worry, with my trusty varmint rifle and my leather armour I'll be fine. One of them could have finished me off easily. Four of them rushing me at once was just overkill really. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having stimpacks hotkeyed helps also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually quite possible to take the shortcut...just never stop running (and don't look back). Having stimpacks hotkeyed helps also. I think I'll just walk up this hill and take a look around. Oh, what's that flickering in the distance, it's moving awful fast isn't it. Looks like some kind of wasp. Veronica, I think punching it just made it angry. "Eugh, I think I'm gonna need some new limbs." Veronica has died! You feel woozy!

TheOriginalEvilD Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The thing with playing stealth is, you really have to prioritize stealth related perks right from the start, and hold out on other things like computer hacking and lock picking perks or anything that doesn't make you do more damage or sneak better. Once you get those perks you're pretty much unstoppable unless you do something stupid, and even then there are always Stealthboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
