The Balancing In Fallout 4 Is Laughably BAD. Here's How I Fixed It

And I thought Bioshock was bad with the exact same enemy types doubling or even tripling their hp towards the end of the game... no game is SO good that it can just shrug off horrible/lazy balancing.
I'd assume the damage perks might be a relict of the pen&paper days of rpgs, where your damage and where you hit are determined by rolling a dice rather than literally aiming at the enemy. I can see it make some degree of sense in the first two Fallout games with its turn based combat that had you click where you wanted to aim and then the game decided if you hit there. There's so much stuff from analog games & the early days of rpgs that somehow is still present in so many games, even the most basic things like XP & leveling up. You shoot 50 people and now you reached the next level... and chose to improve swimming and lockpicking?

bethesda is lazy stop buying their sorry excuse for a video game

This mod is currently not supported by the author(s) and/or has issue(s) they are unable to fix yet.

Gun do deal more damage when you learn how to use it’s like the difference between a headshot vs body shot 😂😂😂lol but Ik what you meant

I prefer to play games in their vanilla state the way how the developers intended them to be played, but I have to admit that I am very tempted to try your FO4 mods.

Came from your video about the algorithm. Violence in the first 15 seconds yet you still have a sponsor.

Holy shit smooth transition into sponsor and actually engaging damn your voice is so hot please be my dad

there is nothing to do with an assault carbine based on marksmen! plasma carbine + gauscannon and a lot of grenades))

Playing on very hard imbalances the game... the games favor... what

So something to point out is you compared a legendary gunner to no legendary variants of all of those

So this is the video he got removed from making profits.

Was watching at the beginning and thought to my self, "i should tip him of about the mod - hardcore health overhaul".
Did not realise it was you that made it lol.
This is one mod i can not live without. 10 out of 10.

Hey, Brandy, i was just wondering. what mod are you using for the leaning?

Thank you! Dmg to ammunition system is the way it should be, though you really can't expect much from Bethesda.

Modded Fallout 4 is amazing......Vanilla Fallout 4 is absolute garbage.

I watched this after your newest video and just laughed, i do not see how the demonized it because of a little spurt of blood

Balances in Fallout NV wasnt any better...The 10mm pistol lost its effectiveness at mid games.

Honestly it's insane how much you've revolutionised my fallout experience with your stability video, hud and this mod. Your content is great as well you're honestly underrated, you god tier beautiful man.

Can you please port to console in some sort of fashion. Please we’re dying of shit mods out here.

by far the best Fallout 4 video of all time. Take notes Game Devs.

See through scope is so basic but the dev still dont know it

I guess the logic of firearm damage increasing with skills is the shooter learning to hit vitals? But even that is extremely silly since it wouldn't really make sense outside of VATS, where the game aims and fires for you

Late comment but this mod combined with some survival tweaks have made playing fallout fun again. I actually end up dying when charging in unprepared and have to plan out how and when to use my weapons on enemies if I dont wanna get shredded

nice job on the mod and brandy boy have you tried fegep it adds more ghoul types and feral ghouls redux both fix the fera; ghouls

It’s because your supposed to upgrade your weapons and get ledgendarys like the wounding 10mm I have
Edit: I take this back, he is a big brain modder

The minigun should have done far more damage per shot but also should have been a bit smaller (unless it fired .308 rounds instead of 5mm rounds). The crashed vertibird with the minigun should have been crashed next to the edge of the roof and the minigun shouldn't have been detachable from the mount it's on. It should have just been a powerful weapon you use as a mounted weapon at that point in the game (and you shouldn't have had access to power armor that earlier either) that you use to defend the building. Maybe the devs could have had the player need to kill the deathclaw before it reached the building and killed him/her.

How does power armor work in this mod? How much resistance?

If I wouldn't have sworn to never buy Bethesda ever again due to them desecrating Fallout, I would have gotten the game just to play it with your mod.
Sounds like a more STALKERish gameplay, just as a 3D FPS Fallout should have been coming from 1 and 2.

personally, I've also been working on implementing a detail where barrel length influences damage based on the cartridge.

for example, a pistol receiver will work better with short barrels while a rifle receiver will require long barrels, because of how their powders burn at different speeds.

I don't wanna be THAT guy but, I love the way Fallout 4 looks like an entirely different game with all the mods installed. Is there any way someone could take his full mod list and create a mod "bundle" for both PC and Xbox? I feel like it would be a great help to anyone (myself included) looking to change their game up like he has without them needing to install all 1,889 mods one by one. They could go to one mod, install it and bam they're all there.

I wonder if you could add tweaks in which a longer barrel will increase damage output.
For example a 124gr 9mm bullet fired from a 16" barrel can match the ballistics of a 125gr .357 Magnum out of a 4" revolver.

Also a 180gr .40sw out of a 6" barrel can get real close to a 180gr 10mm out of a 4" barrel.

Perks man. Perks. And Legendary weapons. If you optimize even a bit you can do damage It's almost like ignoring a large part of the gameplay loop makes gameplay harder!

the one concern I have based on your description of your system is that range and rate of fire were mentioned almost as an afterthought. combined with the mention of using weight to balance the combat experience, I have to ask: did you rework the inventory / weight system?

this is why I play heavily modded survival. I shave off the annoying parts of it with mods and it becomes actually enjoyable.

Survival mode is the way to go

What... fallout 76 has the fucking legendary weapon system from f4?
You can get a never ending double barreled shotgun or an explosive submqchine gun?

It's really interesting to me how people are being paid to balance these games and are absolutely clueless on how to do it. Great video, now it's closer to NV balancing.

where i to ever touch that pos game again those'd be the gloves i'd wear.

Hey bro the mod you required to remove legendaries is no longer avvailable. you should go through and update your mod and adjust legendary enemies.

What armor mod do you use???? It looks so cool

THE HEALTH MOD WAS YOU??? holy goddamn I've had so much fun with this mod coming back to fallout 4 it was so boring and easy but when I found this mod I dropped an extra 200 hours and have had a great time.

Just putting it out there that true damage is an absolutely scuffed mod that forces you to only use vanilla ammunition types. It also bricks your save whenever you delete it by just erasing your Pipboy off of your arm and making the games inventory system just disappear. Just use ECO to adjust any weapon to a balanced value.

>763 shots to kill
that's why i never play bethesda games above easy difficulty. they don't know any intelligent means of difficulty increase , all they know is "give enemy more health and damage, nerf the fuck out of the player"
