Those shitty giant radscorpions in NV :x

[Drakron]

Giant radscorpions, not just radscorpions ... they have DT of 18 on top of 150 HP, meaning they suck damage besides having a lot of HP.

Radcorpions "only" have a DT of 5 and HP of 70.

Well rad scorpions are bullet sponges, best bet is to hack the fuckers. Later on you'll find nightstalkers and really tough ghouls, and those fuckers make radscorpions look like bloatflies in comparison. It's actually fun to be raped by the wildlife when exploring nooks and crannies, only Deathclaws really did this in FO3.

What ghouls are these? I spent a little time in the REPCONN, and I was headshotting ghouls easily.

Just killed 2 giant rad scorpions on normal.
Took me 30 10mm bullets and about 60 .307 ones (using 10mm pistol and cowboys !@$%^)
It's pain in the ass and they give 55xp

Best example would be a guy in Power Armor ignoring 10mm Pistol shots.

Another thing better than FO3. In Fallout once you had Powered Armor you could just roll over any town by yourself. In Fallout 2 they had to be armed with Guass or a high yield energy weapon to get through. In FO3 anyone could still take you down with a shitty rifle. Like those hillbillies in Point Outlook.

So

I'm using this baby, which means I'll be running the hell away from those guys until I get better weapons.


But once I get Power Armor...heh heh heh. Any of those fuckers with weak guns might as well roll over.

Remember the Tanker? Wanamingos will still kick your ass.

So

I'm not sure how the mechanics of it worked exactly, but you could still get your power armour bypassed on (certain?) critical hits. I remember going on a few rampages (before exiting or reloading) and sometimes got taken out by a lucky shot. But I get your point.

Hmm, the ones around the Caesar's Legion Safehouse southeast of Nipton near the edge of the map were pretty brutal, some of the higher ranked ones anyway. I met Ghouls earlier and they were fodder like in FO3, but these fuckers were fast and tough. Maybe the fact that I stumbled over them gave them the edge, but it was pretty cool to be level 7 and still easily be overcome by Ghouls.
