Afaik the damage animations are all fubar



So the shishkebab only lights people on fire if they die from a regular vats attack animation. Thats the regular slash animation in or out of sneak. The throat slit or any animation that can be triggered by a power attack leaves an undamaged corpse. In previous games the shishkebab lit people on fire 100% on hit and functioned as a dot not only a kill cam. Also shishkebab is the only weapon that doesn't interact with solid objects, the blade goes through walls and never makes a sound or leaves a mark.



Chunking corpses follows similar rules, power attacks with melee or unarmed have no effect on the body


Freezing states in the description it works on a crit, so not having animations for freezing damage might be why everything else is broken. The crit freeze effect instantly kills npcs that still have hp left when they explode. Freezing corpses also breaks their respawn.

No animation for the impact.



Incendiary

Never found a melee/unarmed prefix.

Ignites enemies 100% chance on hit, functions normally.


Plasma infused

Much like incendiary it works perfectly but for some reason only exists for guns afaik.


Poison animation works 100% of the time, no death animation.


Irradiating has no animations, neither does bleeding. Personally I think that's a bug but who knows.


Please add anything you can think of

you guys disappoint me
