Lmao remove crits, so rather than address the real issue which is trying to make a single player pve game into a multiplayer pvp game you're talking about changing the fundamentals of the base game that this was at least in the beginning trying to grow from.
I'm with heal, if you take out crits, take out sneak, and thrown weapons, make all weapons shoot about the same damage, all armor the same dur just different looks and there now you have balance, and you also have a game that isn't fallout, it's a 3quarter graphic shooter. Crits are what at least used to be the differences between the guns, if you wanted a controlled crit person you went Sgs, or Ews, if you wanted big hits that might crit for a boat load you went Bgs, it wasn't perfect but that's because it didn't start where it should have. Without crits Sg's are just shy of useless, same with if not more so Ew's. Everyone will go Rocket Launcher or Minigun because it will the only way to plug out reliable high damage.
Sadly as with most discussions you guys are really arguing about the wrong topic, the game is just broken, and no one change is gonna miraculously fix and balance it. At this point I say wipe it, keep most of what the dev's have done, make characters require Charisma to even start the game, wash weapon stats back to core fallout and let it fly. If we're gonna talk crazy changes let's talk CRAZY!
