Looking for a hardcore realistic damage mod
I mean something realistic where 1 shot kills you and your enemies unless they're wearing power armour or something. I mean like 1 shot to the torso will kill you and an enemy not 5 because realistically you would not survive 5 shots to the torso.

dude some guys survive after ak-47 bullet in their head in real life ok maybe need months or maybe year for recover but why did you expect 1 shot to torso kill?

Because you're in the wasteland, where medical supplies are rare and hard to come by, when you get shot you're either going to bleed out or die from infection.

Anyways I had a damage multiplier on Skyrim where 1 hit was 1 kill, makes fights interesting I guess.

Btw thanks for the info I'll check it out.

Oh, if you're looking for someone to castrate you, tear off your arms and then prick you to death with a cactus, I'd recommend Dust. It's a total conversion mod, though, so not really what you're asking for, but if you want that cheese-grater to the face experience, it's worth a go.

Uhm, may i add that a few you can count on hand people who survived some odds can not be counted for. You can count them on the hands who survived multiple gunshots to the torso etc, but those are extreme exceptions. Most often then not, even with modern medicine etc, a gunshot to leg or arm can end up in amputation in like 50/50 chance. Although, one shot torso is a bit much, but 3-5 shots should do the trick. Its difficult to measure with fallout games because they dont offer any way of torso sub-parting. So to counter that fact and balance it out, id be increasing it to 3-5 shots on humans/humaniods. Ghouls could be exceptions since apparently, they cant suffer brain damage even though their brains are exposed etc, so i guess internal organs are more resistant to damage. Damn, this will make me start a damage mod myself since non i like so far. Like, insects should be god-awefully hard to kill. You surly played with insects as a child at some point...
... very resilient little f*ckers. So id guess you could shoot like 10 shots into a radscorpio head before you bring it down. Im not even gonna account for how almost meaningless loss of a limb or tow is for them. At least for them against you within that fight scenario. I could go on and on... xD

Give Realistic Damage a try, it's more recent the RWD and dlc added into it already

I'd suggest playing on hard difficulty

Finding stimpaks, Med-X, Doctors Bags, and the materials to make your own are not at all rare. Potent herbal medicines are also common.

Pretty much every town has a servicable doctor as well.

Dying instantly from a shot to the torso because "infection" doesn't even make any sense. Certainly isn't "realistic."

If weapon damage was completely realistic, you would have died when Benny shot you in the head.

That doesn't sound like fun, because there's no lean key. You have to stand out in the open to return fire; especially with the large collision boxes the scenery has (altthough, it's not as bad as Fallout 3, where VATS shots invariably go into a fence post or wall). So you WILL get shot at some point. It's unavoidable. And anyway, it's an RPG: weapons do more damgae as you get better skills, add perks or traits.

Also this for headshots and such. Bear in mind scripted sequences and other assorted things may be affected.
TL;DR of this thread : One person once survived more than 1 shot to the head , therefore this game's damage is realistic

Might as well be. If the chances were applied to the characters in the game world there would most likely be like one person who would survive a shot to the head. (and that person is encountered at the very beginning)
