Fallout 4 is way easier than Skyrim

okay am i the only one who hoped the Dragon Born would have said "All right, we'll call it a draw." at the end of that video?

I dunno, man, as I was saying, Skyrim was a lot more abusable. Here for example if you add a long barrel, it will always do the same. In Skyrim it depended on your Smithing skill, plus it could be massively boosted with enchants, which depended on the Enchant skill, which could be boosted with potions, which depended on the alchemy skill, which again could be boosted with potions, which depended on the alchemy skill. You could abuse that to push the effects a dozen times above what skill 100 could do.

 

And then you could do the same for clothes enchants that boosted the damage done with specific weapon types some more. And by "some more", I mean an order of magnitude or two.

 

Again, I have personally made crossbows that hit for something like 1000 points of damage, i.e., it actually hit harder than a fully pimped out gauss rifle in FO3. It's not even taking guesses or whatnot. I literally made that myself in Skyrim, and that was with just the base skills, not with some CK intervention.

 

I actually took to deliberately not using Alchemy, because it could be abused INCREDIBLY far. And even without alchemy I could make a bloody iron dagger, the one that the smith in Riverrun made me make, hit harder than if I had been dual-wielding dragon-bone greatswords.

Try the ironman challange and avoid stimpacks and food during in battle.

Your worst enemies would be acid-poison spitters and explosives.

Skyrim has a legit, non cheating way to be an absolute God. All it took was investing the time into maxing out smithing, enchanting, and alchemy. Then you just juggle using those three to make the best gear possible, and you ended up with like 3k+ armor rating. Then you make some ridiculous poison potions, get a bow, and sneak shot everything in the game. Next thing you know you're killing dragons with one arrow. You sneak shot them while they're perched above the word wall, and they actually get up and fly around only so they can crash down in front of you dead. The only challenge in that game is not getting bored out of your mind maxing out those three skill trees, and finding the crafting material to do all that leveling.
