Not at all, crit table for players have been reworked many times, it is very different from F2 right now.

Johnnybravo:
This comes in mind everytime there's discussion about Laser Pistol

--- Quote ---A Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol. Civilian model, so the wattage is lower than military or police versions

But never found out if they mean W2k (Laser Rifle) as the police/military version, or there was supposed to be more powerful pistol from Wattz.

Anyway you could just always do the "flamethrower" trick, and pack better ammo and upgraded weapon while leaving default for starters. (ofcourse this needs some changes because of cars)

It'd be nice if the whole 1 to 100 random part was exchanged for something more complex, but that'd be major change to Fallout gameplay.
Crit change itself is not big problem, because scoring critical means nothing for single shots, however effects of critical shots are nearly unaffected by character or weapon stats (except for safe rolls and better critical perk).

Balancing Big guns and SMGs is really much easier because they act rarely random.

I started a new char with 10 luck, and better crits and still never score 100 hp hits against critters. is there something else i'm missing?  Also, I def dont crit everytime, but I only have 1 mc, but even when i do crit it's seldom a knockout so unless op is exaggerating does someone know something else i don't?  (frustrating crit hit table is not public.)

DocAN.:
1. Man, come to hinkley to test your build. Make like 1k shots and then you can say something.
2. What critters are you hunting, not many have more then 100hp.
3. Change weapon, take plasma rifle you will see 200+ crits.
4. Crit table isnt public and it shouldnt be.

Remember that when a man with a gun meets a man with a rifle, the one with a gun is a dead man. Seems that Fo forgot about this basic rule :p

It's the crits yes. Thankfully wipe will bring anti-crits perks, armors and traits. Too bad they will likely make builds that are resistant to crits and those who aren't.
