It's really hard for me to enjoy the Bethesda fallouts without trying to mod it so it's much more lethal, but that doesn't really gel with the game's philosophy. I don't want random raiders to survive a shotgun blast to the face, damnit. But I also don't want to survive getting shot in the face. Turning the damage up can turn it into a like sneaking puzzle hotline miami kind of game, but the level design and encounters aren't really meant for that. Also, apparently enemies accuracy is really high by default, because the design assumes you'll be HP tanking hits. This creates weird situations where some drunk raider is hitting you from 200 meters away.
Also vats kind of sucks. got a bullet time mod and it was a lot more fun for me.
So I don't know what I would need to do to enjoy fallout london
