I usually play Bethesda games on the easiest difficulty because it feels more realistic for enemies to die quicker.
However I’m still struggling with the combat in this game. Some enemies still feel like bullet sponges despite me being on “very easy” mode.
I notice they have perfect aim from a distance while I struggle to get hits on them. Anyone else?
Or anyone have tips for how they’re approaching combat?
I did just watch a clip of someone on normal difficulty and their enemies were taking just as long to kill as mine were on very easy.
You aren’t crazy. There are some fairly normal enemies and then there are definite bullet sponges. If they have a red bar under the white bar, they’re going to have ‘segments’ of health. You shoot one white bar off and you lose one segment of red bar. Most I’ve experienced so far have three segments to their red bar. And bullets definitely do less to those enemies too.
I actually like this. In Fallout 4 and Skyrim you could mow your way through enemies towards the end of the game, this might keep you on your toes more consistently
I can’t stand it. Multiple health bars are evil. (Kingdom Hearts was the worst at this). Just have one health bar and make it bigger.
