Third, I could use some advice on killing Legate Lanius. Second, I want to know why the game seems so overwhelmingly inconsistent in its difficulty and if anyone else feels the same way. There are several things I wish to gain from this thread First, I want to know just how damage threshold works. Then, I face Legate Lanius and he beats me to death with a bumper sword.
I was under the impression that enemies with a weapon that doesn't exceed the damage threshold couldn't harm me, and yet I have half-naked, Roman copycats killing my level 21 character with a few hits. Before I begin, I must say that I love this game and this is just a minor issue that has irritated me during my experience with the game, however, what exactly does power armor do in this game? NCR soldiers with clubs are posing a danger to me as are the Praetorian Guard with a fully repaired suit of Brotherhood T-51b power armor.
