I usually play Bethesda games on the easiest difficulty because it feels more realistic for enemies to die quicker.
However I’m still struggling with the combat in this game. Some enemies still feel like bullet sponges despite me being on “very easy” mode.
I notice they have perfect aim from a distance while I struggle to get hits on them. Anyone else?
Or anyone have tips for how they’re approaching combat?
I did just watch a clip of someone on normal difficulty and their enemies were taking just as long to kill as mine were on very easy.
If you’re on PC, there’s a few configuration file tweaks you can do to make enemies less spong-y. Enemies gain 20HP per level in this game, and thus get very tanky, very fast. This doesn’t change per difficulty. The damage scaling modifier does, but not enough to counter this.
I’ve set this to 5HP and increased how much damage I take as well. Feels much better that way, in my opinion. Legendary enemies still have more health, but not to an insane degree.
Do you want me to share the settings?
I always wished you could make fallout feel a bit more like veteran mode on call of duty, where I could just run and aim for headshots while also trying to duck and dodge
