-Utterly false, D&D the board game started off that way, and early CRPGs copied it, because both shared similar technological limitations, that does not mean all CRPGs since then are made on that basis. Please stop with the RPg historical revisionism, i got tired of that with anthraxus.
-If you dont move during combat sure..... but who does that? I did the entire battle of hoover dam with the AMR, with tons of Legion enemies bum rushing me, didn't die once, really, its not difficult.
-I am not sure you know how slugs in-game work.
-I already mentioned them.
--Single shot rifles are best for long range sneak attacks.
--Assault rifles and the like are best for general combat.
--Miniguns and gatling lasers are best for swarms of large numbers of weak enemies.
--Pistols are best for lower tier monsters such as mole rats that you shouldn't waste better weapon ammo on.
Its literally the exact same system half life 2, and most other competent FPS game use.
DT however gives us
--Single shot rifles are general purpose combat weapon useful is most situations.
--Assault rifles are general purpose combat weapons useful in most situations.
--Miniguns and gatling lasers are general purpose combat weapons useful in most situations.
--Pistols are general purpose combat weapons useful in most situations.
Its a "anything can be used at pretty much any time since the amount of DT the enemy has doesn't really change how much damage you will do ever.
-I never said that it would be good game design to make power armor reisst that much damage from small arms fire, I was just printing out a bit of lore.
Except, as proven before, when facing high tier weapons like the AMr, used by white legs in the Honest Hearts DLC, or other similar high end enemy weaponry, like end game legion weapons, DT gives you a whopping ONE more hit to survive. Whereas DR gives several.
A. Power armor is made to resist everything, that's the whole point of power armor.
B. It offers 60 DR, you forgot to add in the helmets DR.
C. it offering less overall damage negation then NV's power armor is
D. Except if a pistol was as efficient as piercing armor as a rifle then it would be doing the same damage as one... but it doesn't. because its a weaker gun.
-Except, you haven't, as proven with the AMR comparison, against anything that is either low tier of high tier weaponry, DT does nothing, you only proved medium end weaponry.
-I dont know why would armor resist the same damage from various weaponry? ask DT, since it resists as much damage from a rolling pin as vault security armor does, whereas DR makes rolling pins do less damage then they did, while still making them weaker then pistols.
-Except DPS isn't the key factor outside of sneaking, where are you getting this absurd logic from?
-It is though...... even shitty RPGs like Drago nage made certain weapons better for certain situations, New Vegas just made everything general purpose.
-Are you really this illiterate? it was an EXAMPLE OF ANOTHER GAME'S WEAPON DIVERSITY.
-Except, it provably doesn't, it just lets every weapon be used all the time since DT is ineffective in changing NPC damage both at the beginning and end games.
-No, DR means use weapons like they are supposed to be used instead of using weapons based on fashion preference.
-You obviously haven't played many FPSs... or RPGs for that matter, wasting bullets at all is idiotic, regardless of how many you find.

>not self limiting how much ammo you carry
I bet you are one of those type of people who plays a game like Skyrim, willingly chooses to join every guild, or use map fast travel and then complains the game didn't prevent you from doing it,
