Forum:Fear of being overpowered?

pardon me if I'm wrong but doesn't it seem like the creator's of this game are dodging left and right to try to keep your char from being overpowered, no continuing game after beating it so you cant just blow up the world one person at a time after you've beaten the big guys and cant lose, nuked points, having to level odd stats half the time to do speech checks because someone wants 50 sneak to talk about something, seriously wtf is up with that, and no more stealth from Chinese stealth armor, in fact its worse than recon armor, unless of course you have a large reservoir of stealth boys to keep pumping into it.
 * I mean some things are just meant to be overpowered, hell after 1 play-through of this game i already knew how to set my char up well enough that i don't think I've had to flinch in front of a single enemy, what more damage could being invisible do? all they would have had to have done is removed silent running, a perk that in its own light, is fairly useless without Chinese stealth armor, and vice versa, "omg i cant hear his footsteps! uhhh...hes right in front of us...oh....*violently mow's down the idiot trying to sneak while visible*" naturally i expect some posts if any, to be from those people looking for a challenge, i understand you want a challenge, and hardcore mode I'm sure is worth the satisfaction of saying you did it, but sometimes its just nice to take a leisurely walk down the radiated road, mowing down things as you pass by without a care in the world other than the choice of which deserted mile deep mine you plan to raid next.

Stealth Boys are already extremely powerful. A PERMANENT stealth boy effect would be ridiculous, especially since Sneak Attack Crits seem to ignore Damage Threshold. Obsidian wanted to make a game where you weren't unstoppable by level 10. New Vegas requires good equipment, skill specialization, and the right combination of traits/perks for your character to be truly formidable. This is how all RPGs should progress. Stop being a pussy and learn to sneak properly. Schneidend 15:38, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

no need for stealth boys. for a big area with alot of enemies. get a scope for your rifle. sit a mile away and pick em off 1 at a time. ur so far away itll go to caution but wait a minute or two itll go back to hidden so 1 direct shot will take em out. but just for a group of id say 5. run up on them and take care of business gtrip
