Your Limb Damage is completely eliminated.

[Ihateeverybody]

I don't believe Bethesda thinks eliminated means what they think it means.

I base that on the fact I still suffer limb damage with all 3 ranks of Adamantium skeliton. Coupled with ALL perks of Strongback (Perk 4 of 5 supposedly removes leg damage from being over weight limit) this makes falling damage (checking my Status screen, I have damage to my leg limbs) suffered while over weight limit, even more perplexing.

Someone tell Wolverine and Bullseye to check their warrenties (Oh and Captain America (wait what's his shield made out of nowadays, it keeps changing)..

Only way to eliminate leg damage from falling are with the freefall boots.

Also power armor.

well obviously :P

[Ihateeverybody]

Well then it doesn't completely eliminate limb damage now does it?

[Kalsu]

nop and lots of peeps make the same mystake. Well in a way it doesnt specify falling damage so.....

[Ihateeverybody]

No its not a mistake...I read the perk description (and the survival entry in the Help section) and the words when chained together in the manner the game designers wrote them, do NOT match the reality of the game world.

Edit: IT doesn't specifically exclude or make note of falling damage either.

[Kalsu]

it kinda matche if you're thinking about a different game mechanic. Like falling dmg being different then weight or attack.

[Ihateeverybody]

Yeah but that argument can be also used to the anal retentive extreme. This weapon does 25% more damage to ghouls...oh no we meant ghoul reavers....that are dressed in armor...named bob...that were construction engineers...that worked for posidon energy.....on the midnight shift at ...you see where I am going with this?

[Ihateeverybody]

Since you've made an edit let's clarify something. I never said it was well explained. What im trying to say to you is that the explanation is exact but they failed to mention that it only affect one type of damage. In this case , falling , there is no perk that can negate limb damage from falling so yes the explanation is exact but not specific.

You are right they did a poor job of explaining that. It should have been more specific that's why you don't let peeps like me have that job.

Now please stop thinking im trying to counter your argument which i wasn't. I'm saying lots of peeps make the same mystake as you and me when they read that explanation.

[Ihateeverybody]

I made the edit after your edit. Seriously dude?

Again, you use the word mistake as if we the readers are at fault. Explain to me where I misinterped the meaning of that sentence or stop using the word mistake in reference to the reader.

No i'm not saying the reader are at fault. You think i'm making this argument when i'm simply saying we are making the same mistake of thinking it affect ALL limb damage. Do you understand? I am saying you are right and most of us think the same thing when we read that description in the perk menu or the loading screen.

Is that good enough?

Then why keep saying that we, the readers, make the mistake? The mistake is in the description, not with the reader. There is no way that you can determine the correct reading just from the given description because it makes a general statement of protection against limb damage, while the actual effect is limited in a specific way that it never mentions.

Alternatively, it's possible that the description is correct, but the actual effect is wrong. It may simply be that the perk was intended to prevent all limb damage, but is being accidentally bypassed because falling damage is applied in a different manner to damage from attacks.

However, that would still be a problem within the game, because it's still the description not matching the effect, rather than the description being misread by the players.

[Kalsu]

Here's the description from the loading screen.

With the Adamantium Skeleton perk, your bones are infused with unbreakable metal, which reduces - and may even completely prevent - limb damage.
