Armor is like tissue paper

» Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:16 am

I am not sure why I am noticing this now, but my armor isn't really doing jack all to help me.

geckos, raiders, giant mantises ... they take me down in two 3 hits.

I am wearing t-45d power armor and have a level of toughness perk....

I see the green shield when they hit me, which should imply that the DT is absorbing all the damage, but my health drops rapidly. Admittedly, I am playing on hard difficulty, but still ...

Here is my load order .... any comments appreciated:

That's weird. I'd almost think you're running some sort of damage increasing mod.

Hmm. Doesn't PN have settings for that? You might want to check PN's options menu to make sure it didn't accidentally get set to 500% damage or something.

If not, then CCO is possibly the culprit. Unfortunately, I don't use CCO, so I'm just guessing here.

Armor is like tissue paper - PN? CCO?
