Augusto1235 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi everyone, so I've been playing Fallout 4 at Survival difficulty, didn't even bother with anything less than that as knowing Bethesda game, I kinda knew the way to go, besides I like trying the hardest difficulty first, for the win, lol. Anyway, besides finding the game pretty amazing, I was always extremely bothered at some balance issues, for example, it's pretty annoying that a raider takes almost all my ammo to kill, it's like they absorb bullets, and don't even get me started on energy weapon, I mean, how can an almost naked guy survive a 5000°C hydrogen plasma? o.O And how is it that I still get a lot of damage even when wearing power armor, I mean, it should be pretty much bulletproof, at least for smaller calibers like .38 and 10mm, modern armor (heavy steel) is capable of blocking up to .308, I figure that several cm thick plates of nuclear powered steel should make you pretty much invulnerable to bullets. Also, it's kind of boring the fact that a simple dog can just kill me with one single bite when not wearing armor, I mean, I get that it's a rothweiler and all, but it's still a dog, it shouldn't take more than 1 bullet to either put down or render inoffensive, and Mirelurks can kill me with one or two hits even when wearing power armor, even if all they have is big claws, and I get that they shell is hard af, but a .50 cal bullet, used in anti-material weapons, should totally pierce it, and besides that, a shotgun blast in the face should kill them as that's their vulnerable parts, and ghouls are just unbelievable, I get that they take more shots to be put down, but they fight with their bare hands, they shouldn't even be able to do anything to a guy wearing full power armor. So I've been scouring the Nexus for all the possible realism mods I can think of, I've used:Realistic Survival Damage by DarthbdamanRealistic Headshots by Shad0wshayd3Better Locational Damage by Zzyxzz (along with Better Power Armor and Better Explosives)Combat Re-Balance Overhaul by CarlSaganIsMyHomie (this last one seemed to fix the ghoul problem, but it also seemed to slow down the speed of bullets, in the mod page it says it adds proper bullet trajectory, which is cool, but I shouldn't be able to see a supersonic bullet fired from my sniper rifle, it made sniping pretty much impossible) So, I've most recently tried the Realistic Survival Damage (Legendary Damage) with Realistic Headshots, and I thought I was going fine, pretty much all raiders would be killed with one blow to the hear and a few to the chest, and at first I'd get killed very easily too (which is something I look for) but now I'm level 19 and I feel a tad overpowered, mostly because I've literally killed a Super Mutant Behemoth with 3 shots (I had the VATS Enhanced Hunting Rifle and I've upgraded it to be a Sniper Rifle with pretty much the most powerful mods before .50 cal receiver) and I was like: "Okay, I do get that I'm sneaking and that I have a very powerful weapon, and that I've hit this guy in the head, but then again, he's a bloody Behemoth, it should take more to kill this guy" and then I headed into the Glowing Sea and one-shotted a Deathclaw, to which I was like: "Okay I need to make a thread on Nexus Mods and ask the people". So, if you've stuck around this long, well, thanks lol, what I am looking for, is a mod (or a series of mod) that'll make realistic human combat (as in, as long as I'm human and not wearing power armor) bullets will be pretty much lethal, if I get shot in the chest a few times I die, if I get shot int he head once I die, and I'd like that to be true for human enemies too, if I shoot a raider in the head he should die because he's just a drug hyped human, same goes for gunners etc, at the same time, I want them big monsters to be a challenge, the Deathclaw, the Super Mutant Behemoth, are pretty much the biggest meanest post powerful creatures of Fallout, I still want them to put up a badass fight. Also, it's pretty absurd that we can bring down a vertibird with a pipe pistol, srsly... So if any of you guys have the same problem, or covet the same thing I do, please reply XD, if you know a mod that'll do this, or a set of mods, I'd be greatful, thanls.
