What's with the instakill crits?

WHINE!

But seriously, what's with the instakill crits? Basically every time I encounter a dude who wants to fight with me he happens to be a super deadly sniper who instakills me. it can't be luck if 4/4 times in 1vs1 it's because of instakill crit. (1st time I didn't take a pic because thought it was just luck)







It can't be because of my stats, I've got 6 luck and endurance so that shouldn't make me especially some sort of crits sponge.
I'd love to pvp, my current char can take few blasts and return fire but if the combat ends in one shot it just lacks the feeling of "exciting fight". Especially when you absolutely cannot tell if the dude you encounter is friendly or not.

Ha, I bet some pvp oriented guys are just rubbing their hands together and smile contentedly while reading this.

Badger:
Yeah, combat that's over in one hit doesn't entertain me. Nor am I a big fan of damage multipliers. Personal taste, I guess.

I like J.E. Sawyer's Van Buren combat philosophy though:

I'd like to see fewer damage multipliers, more crippled limbs, more severe penalties to hit the eyes, and crits that ignore a portion of the armor, but never bypass it completely.

I believe that the different called shots should be made more useful overall. Eyes is clearly "the way to go" in the first two Fallout games. It shouldn't just be a "well, duh" choice. Limb crippling should be more common, IMO. Blinding should also have even more dramatic penalties, but the chance to hit the eyes should be reduced even more.

Ombra:
Yeah, I like this philosophy too.

Anyway that happened on me too, but even WORST since I was in PvE. I was easily defeating a Slaver when it scored a critical and *bam!*:
"You have been critically hit in the eyes for 91 damage, blinded, your armor bypassed and you lose your turn"  :o

Seriously WTF

JustGreat:
I seem to not have such luck with doing instakill criticals in PvP, though I have only died twice due to instakills in PvP.

Quentin Lang:
Well, i dont care much about thoes instakills yet, but i agree they are imba and make SG really superior. My friend has killed few epic build BG's with >200hp with a single lucky shot while going mining. While its entertaining, it really makes SG the one and only weapon class right now. Energy is expensive as fuck to compete with it and BG is weak and even more expensive than EW.
