so what's up with bethesda seeming to be under the opinion that mercenary companies shoot random people on sight like madmen

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Whilst the Gunners may act as mercenaries, their day to day stuff is not much different than the raiders routine. Many were raiders so they probably revert to old habits waiting between jobs from the potential clients they keep butchering. Is it actually mentioned that the Gunners have been employed to do a specific task in the Commonwealth?

I like to think the Gunners are pretty much looking to take over the Commonwealth, and are hostile to anyone that seems willing to fight for any reason at all (since then it means one less reason for the Gunners to be hired). Of course, I've yet to see any indication that this is the case.

I think Assaultrons are the worst bots in the game. Assaultron Dominators, in particular, are worse than any enemy I've encountered. I can melee fight just about anything and reliably beat them except for the damn Assaultrons. Can't VATS them in most cases because of stealth and they swing/block too quickly for me to get many hits on with my Grognak's Axe/Chinese Officer's Sword. The laser beam is ruthless. And they constantly spit out calm lines that switch between standard robotic stuff ("Engaging at minimal range!" "The enemy must have stealth capabilities.") to sinister remarks ("You humans. Pathetic." "This fight is already over, human!")

I did almost one-shot a Dominator by doming it with a five-crank laser musket, but I've yet to repeat that little trick.

It's weird finding an enemy that can actually kill me at level 35 with power armor.

Mm, it was nice to see Bethesda pull out an enemy that's dangerous because of its high damage and difficult-to-avoid attack patterns instead of giant health pools or being impossible to shoot.

[Virtz]

It's also pretty great that with some enemies it's not just just best to go for the head. Like the Protectrons. Their health drains way more rapidly if you shoot the legs.

[Flying Dice]

Man, I spread my fire on the robots just because of how cool it looks to see bits of scrap flying off, never mind the DPS.

Don't worry Bethesda has you covered with its super high damage, difficult to avoid, bullet sponge enemy that can turn invisible at will.

Because you know... those were always my favorite parts of the previous Fallout games... the large bullet sponge enemies.

Frank Horrigan?

[Putnam]

He was more of a puzzle than a bullet sponge.

I've found some mods I like, might restart soon since the majority of what I need for hardcore mode appears to already exist, with the exception of a food and water requirement mod, and a proper increase to settlement raiding chance. Though I wouldn't want more raids untill there's a mod that stops you losing everything if a single raider survives somewhere.
Mods I've found sofar:
One that increases AI so they shoot more often than standing around with their thumb up their butt, it reduces reload speed, fall damage ( mostly concentrated on legs now) and nerfs stealth.
One that allows slight clipping in settlement building.
One that severely reduces loot.
One that increases random spawn chance.
I might also include the mod that makes ammo craftable to counteract the reduced ammo rate.

so is it just me or are heavy weapons crap?
i mean the weapons affected by the skill... it seems that are only the mini gun and the gatling laser.
got 4 point sin heavy weapons, but i guess i have to google how to reassign these perk points. such a waste.

but fatbois are not even affected by heavy weapon skill. they are explosive.
