am I playing a different game?

currently level 33, still using my upgraded leather armor because of style, my rifles do ~100 damage and I get destroyed every time I face a deathclaw

they take a few magazines from my rifles on very hard and kill me in 1-2 hits

once they spot you and you can't hide, they get very quick to you and you can't do anything

not to mention if its not a normal deathclaw, but an alpha one or something else
