Has anyone used the cushioned perk from the heavy armor tree? I read that many people think it svcks and is useless, but who has actually tried it? Can you fall long distances and still survive or is it pointless?

I normally just pick it any way to complete the Heavy Armor Perk Tree. You can fall long distances, but it still does quite a bit of damage to your character, so to answer your question....yes I think its useless. I get Cushioned so I can get the next heavy armor perk.

Ok, thanks. I guess that answers it.

The conditioning perk is really good, but the only way to get it is by getting cushioned first.
