This criticism specifically I think goes back to the underlying PnP system for FO1/2. Yes, there's a dice system in there, and it seems likely that there's multiple steps to resolving damage after a hit. My guess is that Armor is applied to all incoming damage, and while Critical Hits deal...

Interesting that you're using things that cannot be fairly measured due to the age difference between the games. Things like "more detail" are very arguably subjective. If you mean more detailed environments, then absolutely the Bethesda Fallout games have more detailed environments. They...
