Very hard mode is laughable

[RandalMcdaniel]

I've never went out looking for a fight, i've never grinded enemies, i've never done any repeatable quests, basically i've never intentionally gone out to farm experience points to level up.Yet im already LV52 and the game is now a joke as the enemies can't even hurt me anymore. Yet i've only completed like 30% of the games quests.. Sad.

Here is vid of me playing very hard. Its dope. I just found gragnaks axe. But in very hard mode i can just stand in front of enemies shooting at me and just watch them reload and stuff. It's a joke!

I have not bought a single piece of "good" armor. I simply equip whatever i find from enemies. My total armor is like 90 damage reduction and 68 energy weapons reduction and the game has been a little too easy for me on very hard.

I've never spent a single perk on anything to boost my defenses besides "lone ranger" perk which gives me +15% damage reduction when traveling alone.

Basically i have put zero thought into making my character defensive or "tanky" in any way.

I just recently got the ballistic weave perk from tinker tom (allows you to add defensive stats to clothing) and applied lv5 weave to my minuteman outfit.. And to my astonishment it gave me +100 damage resistance and +100 energy weapons resistance. Wow. Thats more than all of my armor pieces combined. I can understand maybe 9-13 added defense. But 200???? They just don't give a damn do they

I just stood in front of a raider with a rocket launcher. Took a missile to the face. Only lost 10% hp. So i put my controller down, let him shoot me like 8 more times. And im just sitting there laughing. And this whole time there are like 3 other raiders shooting at me

Like come on.. Who made this game? I wan't a challenge from start to finish when i select the hardest difficulty. (i tried survival mode but it disabled fast traveling, so i went to disable it and it said i will never be allowed to opt into survival mode again in the future.. WTF? These guys really work as little as they have to and then just release their games

"very hard" isnt the "hardest", not played that mode but on survival a rocket to the face is going to kill you early to mid game, early on raiders with molotov's are a scourge.

There are also mods that will let you tweak the damage in/out to your whim (they use MCM).

I usually play with 2/1.

You could maybe ... just for the lulz ... not use BW or any of the many other overpowered stuff in this game!
It is easy to keep the game challenging. You just need some self disipline.

How did you make it level 5 without the armorer perk you said you never took?

[JobeGardener]

It's a masterpiece. If you can't see that then maybe your imagination is writing checks that reality can't cash.

i wanted the ballistic weave perk so i leveled it up, i had 8 unspent skill points.

If a game is too hard you can take advantage of the deep rpg system and figure out ways to become stronger. If a game is too easy then its just hopeless. Im not into wearing no armor or weak armor just to make the fights harder. That is so dumb

Don't forget that you can also put Ballistic Weave to certain hats like a Battered Fedora.

[Squiddie]

I usually play with x5 incoming damage and x4 outgoing damage, the game is now scarier than ever. The dogs and ghouls are the most horrifying they run out of nowhere and deal 90%+ of my health bar in 1 sec

[Mesh2007]

Also get better locational damage modups the difficulty alot.

Also try arbitration it does alot of good ai tweaks.

[Ratselhaft]

This is why I always play with 1 End only.

[Mad Marduk]

Put that little epeen away. No one wants to see it.

very hard mode is just a damage slider. very hard mode with psycho and med-x is basically Normal mode without Psycho and Med-x

you can equip two pieces of ballistic weave, one in your torso (i use a miliatary fatigues, or if I don't care about looks the Baseball uniform) and a hat, I use a Trilby hat for the +1 CHA.

and then you can wear 5 more pieces of randomly found legendary armor which I generally get first tier stuff, I went with the +1 STR +1 EN stuff. makes you better at sprinting and my melee damage is incredible. and i made it shadowed leather ideally. with deep pockets for the +60 carry weight and +50 carry weight from the strength.

you standard power armor works better at lower levels. but at the higher levels when you have the HP the Stimpacks regenerating you fully you just need enough HP to survive encounters.

I got a few health regeneration perks. and down a few of the super plentiful stimpacks occasionally. actually I just eat food but stimpacks really would be better, its just the food has weight and also super plentiful. so I eat it to get rid of it and it fills me up.

if you have an automatic freezing weapon and use overdrive which lasts a very long time you can shoot your 80 round assault rifle clip into enemies and generally freeze them for ungodly amounts of time making the game a joke on any difficulty.

Everyone incredulous like the difficulty slider in Bethesda games is anything more than a footnote to put in your Youtube video
