What happened to cripple notifications?

Post » Mon Nov 30, 2015 9:29 am

Am I missing something or have the notifications for crippling enemy limbs gone away? I haven't seen anyone mention this. I know you can still cripple, but I'd rather not have to look at the enemy and try to guess if something was crippled or not. Also, for something like torso or head it's tougher to tell.

If this was removed from the game, I have no idea why. I found this feature useful in FO3/NV...

I've seen or heard the enemy scream that their arm is broken. So that's where your notifications are.

shoot a raider on the leg and he will walk like is cripple. Ghouls and Robots will lose the limb when they HP of that part go to 0. LOL Robots can attack u w/o eyes. Ghouls will die if u remove the head =P.

Super mutants yell at me when i cripple his head " NOOOOOOOO BLOOD ON MY EYES" or "I CAN SEE WITH ALL THIS BLOOD"

I am glad its gone. I had to mod out those annoying messages about crits and damage this or that constantly popped up. I hate message spam.

Yeah, limbs definitely fly off, there is screaming, etc. The notifications aren't there because they let you know in-game.

Visual and audio cues. Whimpering or flying haphazardly. It's pretty obvious.

LOL I snuck up on two raiders (they had names, so I hope I didn't blew a quest, I just shot them LOL) and killed one with a head shot, the other yells out. "No, Skeez, don't you die on me!" LOL (or whatever his name was). Yea, you can tell when they are hurting or worse hahahaha

I like the "I took a f'ing bullet to the knee!". I just about fell over laughing.

Named raiders are basically just gang leaders. If you find their terminals it even mentions them fighting each other, or what gangs theyre allied with! You didn't mess up any quests.

They went the way of the french poodle and common decancy I'm afraid.
(I like anyone who knows that reference)
Just check the limb damage in VATS

is funny how If u kill any leader and then visiting other they know u kill those ones and sometimes they improve the defensive (like more guard or more turrets)

OMG are you serious? Your comment just made me LOL!!! :)

Ah! Thank you, thank you!! I thought, better shoot first and ask questions later!! :)

@ Dranlord: Oh cool, we got smart raiders and word in the wasteland spreads fast I guess.

@ Fantasyjunkie: 100% agree with you. It's so much better to hear Raiders whine and cry out LOL
