I really don't mind if it applies to your character too. After all, the only challenge ever came from poison or Deathclaw attacks. After getting power armor, I didn't even care about anything anyway. But damn, that little instance I wrote above really drove me crazy back then.
Note that I am not a hater though. I have played all Fallouts and I enjoyed the fuck out of Both 3 and New Vegas. Guess I should have benefited more from mods like your damage multiplier mod. If that long-awaited Fallout 4 or maybe 5 (if you count NV as the 4th) becomes real and I can do that later.
