I'm playing on normal (Level 17 right now) and got my ass kicked yesterday by some fucking Stingwings! Seriously, five of them just raped me and every hit poisoned me, my life bar was depleting in just a few seconds. After a few tries I figured to just use a pumpgun in VATS and bang bang bang, all of them were gone! I don't know, I'm getting a good challenge out of Fallout 4. |
I'm not really that good at games, the Sneak mechanics are simply broken. .50 cal sniper rifle with night vision scope, high sneak with muffled and shadowed armor and a couple of magazine boosts and a couple of upgrades on rifle damage and it's a breeze. It won't find you and you can sit behind a tree a pop shots off till it drops. It never came close to detecting me.
As for dogs, rad scorpions, mole rats and most other, smaller enemies who bite or claw, just climb onto the roof of a car or a medium sized rock and they can't touch you.
Human enemies are poor at taking cover and have lousy aim, they also tend to box themselves in and open themselves up to grenade attacks and when you sneak, they just give up on finding you even if you blast their companions' heads off one by one right beside them.
Some of the flying enemies can be challenging in the beginning or in tighter quarters but when you can some more damage bonuses and sneak around; they're really nothing to be concerned about.
Robots are also mostly useless compared to New Vegas, a sentry bot there could tear you up in seconds.
For the record; I'm now playing on Very Hard, Normal was too easy. Sneak mechanics are broken, just like in Skyrim, which was also way too easy when using sneak and ranged.
Sneaking was always bad in Bethesda games; "now that I'm bending my knees, I'm invisible! Even in the light!"
