Only thing that should be a bullet sponge is power armored enemies

So power armor, Super mutes, Deathclaws and some mirelurks should be kinda spongy. Mutes because denser tissue means the elasticity of the flesh should hold up against small arms fire apart from maybe the 50 or 45-70 as they are technically the highest caliber weapons. Deathclaws are prewar experiment to be replacement soldiers that could be let lose to slaughter whatever it faces. Downside is the softer torso but its movement patterns kinda takes care of it.

Maybe im weird but i do like enemies being spongy, not super spongy to. this because i like shooting at enemies , the game gives me lots of ammo and im spongy too so it is only fair. I dont quite like the idea of making combats really short as in the end it will only end in two outcomes, i win and now i have to walk until i find another short battle, i lose and i have to load the last save

Ok so there are a few things about this video that are VERY inaccurate. For starters Better Locational Damage (BLD) is a great mod if you are playing just the base game, or you don't mind doing a lot of work patching every other mod you are planning on using. It is a deep overhaul mod and isn't compatible (natively) with hardly anything except the mod authors other projects (Better Power Armor, Better Explosives, etc). All of which are great mods. This same comment would also be true of Horizon Survival Overhaul. It has to be heavily patched and isn't natively compatible with much else. Both BLD and Horizon are really good mods in their own right as long as you read the mod descriptions on the Nexus and have a realistic expectation of what you are getting. MAIM by comparison is designed to work natively out of the box with both Scourge and True Damage, which normalizes the health of the NPC enemies. In fact the mod authors worked on them together (they are all on the same Discord server). Yes, using MAIM increases the difficulty of the game, but that is by design for Survival mode players (mostly) who felt the game was too easy and not realistic enough. MAIM was built with Immersive Animation Framework (IAF) as a required master file and has built in compatibility. As for the claim that you can't tell if you are bleeding, that is because you didn't bother to read the MAIM description page on the Nexus which tells you to install Condition Boy which shows you your current bleed status. Speaking of bleed damage, you have the option to adjust the amount of bleed damage you take via the MCM menu in game. You can adjust it's severity up or down (for both the player and the NPC's) however you like to get a customized effect that is right for your game. "Your screwed if you use Fallsouls with this mod..." No kidding eh? There is a reason the MAIM description page strongly encourages you not to combine it with other combat overhauls. Lastly your claim that MAIM is less compatible with other mods is blatantly false. MAIM's damage model is one of the most compatible combat overhauls available because it is based on the bullet caliber of the weapon you are using. Thus any weapon using vanilla calibers is translated by MAIM to use it's combat system. BLD by comparison manually tweaks the damage of each weapon and the health of each creature, resulting in the need for extensive patching. As for the claim that there are too many medical chems that are required to deal with MAIMs very indepth health and damage system, you are 100% right. There a lot of them and they can be overwhelming for someone new to the mod. This was feedback the mod author received, and reacted to by releasing MAIM LIGHT, which significantly tones down the healing system. It is available as an optional file on the MAIM download page, right next to the link to download the main file. Both are clearly labeled. In short, this video is an absolute HACK made by a reviewer that obviously didn't bother to read the mod description page before installing it, and after 5 mins with it installed he got his ass kicked and gave up.

While I am definitely a hack fraud and I made quite a few mistakes in this video (like claiming True Damage makes a weapon's damage value in the Pip-Boy inaccurate - this isn't actually the case), I only said MAIM is less compatible with other mods because it uses the Apply Combat Hit Spell.

Both of you are wrong regarding BLD, it literally got a massive overhaul like a few months back to make it auto patch weapons for it's balance. Keep up. Also, I used BLD for a good 2 or more years now, hands down the BEST overhaul you can ask for that actually makes you reconsider and prepare before you leave the safety of a safezone, and on a side note, I use it without HUD Framework, totally unnecessary and so I can use FallUI. And on top of all of that, you having enemies die a second later after being shot is a YOU PROBLEM, it is YOUR modlist that causes script lag, don't pin it onto the mod because of your wacky ass modlist that bloats up papyrus.

It's very immersive to stop bleeding during combat with a nice bandage animation. Also using chems is animated and change the paste of combats. You have to use medX to cope with the pain after bloody fights, and end up addicted, great for realism.

It's so ridiculous when you're facing each other and both of you fire 200 bullets at each other without anyone dying. When I played the game for the first time, it frustrated me. I thought I had enough ammo until I met the first opponent. Hundreds of bullets later, he was dead and my gun was empty. Standing opposite each other and simply emptying the magazine into each other with a "bang bang bang" is just ridiculous. And then there's the same stupid sayings over and over like "See you on the other side" ....... This stupid saying is repeated several times in the game and it's annoying.

At level 40 I have fully upgraded 5.56 rifles, one semiautomatic with scope for sniping and an automatic for upclose. Also with auto and non auto perks maxed. Then I mix in a spray and pray, plasmas, rocket launcher, and a 10mm with fire element. If too easy I can switch to normal or hard.

With this supermutants die with 3 rounds with 308 from hunting rifle. And the best part is true damage change only weapons and the damage is based on ammo they use so it is much more compatibille than BLD which changes pretty much everything. Dont bother with Maim if you dont want your game to be hardcore beside Maim does way to much and you could run into compatibility issue. Beside the healing items and other stuff from Maim is way to much i do not want to spend half of a time in menu to find items i need.😀😀😀

Been using Scourge with True Damage and a headshot multiplier for almost 200 hours now and i love it. The only downside is it can get a bit boring having loads of gun mods but the ones with the same calibre all do the same damage, so makes lots of them redundant if you are a min max whore like I am lol. Have you given Westland Ballistics a go? I'm tempted to start an ultra hardcore run pretty much right after this one so came looking for opinions on BLD and found this vid. Theres actually an auto patcher now for added weapons and npcs etc so that should make it a bit easier if you did like BLD. Agony is an alternative to MAIM for the bleeding and damage repairs as well. Not sure if its any good or not though.

Headshot damage multiplier is terrible mod. Makes sniper rifles op and going for headshot becomes mandatory with all weapons including assault rifles and heavy machine guns.

I used the maim,true damage, and scourge combo and I truly hated it. In Concord, most of the nps would die from 1-2 headshots. But there was one enemy that I unloaded over 100 bullets on their head and they didn't die (I had to leave to collect more ammo). Worst part is that I had to time my shots since they kept one shooting me in the head (with high accuracy). I ended up killing the raider with dog meat after multiple attempts but at that point I no longer had ammo. 0/10 I cant imagine how bad it will get with robots, would prob need 100k bullets.

With BLD I felt like while it was easier for me to die the raiders i was fighting were still really spongey.. like they took at least one mag of 10mm to drop and point blank shotgun blasts did barely half their health kinda spongey. Am I doing something wrong? Something that might be doing it is the popular raider overhaul WIP mod that I have installed or maybe also the armorsmith extended mod. Could those be giving them some extra protection thats knocking off the balance of BLD?

Raider Overhaul WIP says it makes raiders more difficult on its Nexus page. I don't have time to do any testing but even if BLD is loaded after it, if it adds new NPCs with more health it'll screw up BLD's balance. Problems like this are why a scripted solution like SCOURGE or a Synthesis patch like Unleveled Commonwealth can be a better choice.

It doesn't sound abnormal, especially if you are in the early game and have low health and not much armor. What I like to do is set the Incoming Damage Multiplier slider to 0.5 or even lower in True Damage's MCM to make the player more tanky. I would also recommend reducing the sniper rifle damage buff for NPCs. It's default value of 2 causes .308 hunting rifles to be incredibly deadly. Installing the mod "NPC Accuracy Revised" might also help give you a fighting chance.
