*Welcome to the most underpowered overpowered build imaginable!* p.s. Bethesda removed some of the trader chests so now I am very annoyed Also reasons why unarmed sucks: - Does Not Scale With level - Is not buffed by other equipment - Is only buffed by 2 meds - Is Very Slow - Has no weight or impact - The Lowest DPS in the entire game - Enemies will runaway constantly (Unlike in skyrim) - Requires you to break every other aspect of the game to make it viable

The secret to a really great melee build in this game is crouching. Once you knock the enemy down, crouch and then your attacks become stealth attacks (since they're stunned they can't see you) and suddenly you're doing x 2 dmg. It will also let you start working up the stealth skills, which get stupidly good and stacks really well with a fisticuffs spacer build

Yeap, highest level of damage for unarmed is 10x sneak attack that goes to 600+ damage power attack headshot. It still has a really low base damage though since the wakizashi on the same character would do near 3k sneak headshot power attack and the vaarun painblade does nearly 4k.

You too!

My favorite is that when you knock them down, they won't get up until you hit them again. So you can knock each enemy down and have a roomful of bad guys laying around forever.

The most baffling thing about unarmed combat in this game, is that there are a plethora of perks dedicated entirely to it, yet it is still godawful compared to everything else. Like I could understand if it was a weak mechanic that became strong once you had all or most of the perks, but it just remains bad the entire time AND you sunk a ton of points into some useless skills.

The best unarmed RPG build I've encountered is in Daggerfall (Unity). In that game you need certain weapon materials to defeat certain enemies. A regular iron weapon won't defeat certain supernatural enemies, for instance. But your fists can defeat anything. And they get very powerful, and very fast. By the time your agility is maxed out you're basically a cracked out kung fu master blitzing through the hallways and rapid fire punching any and all enemies to death. It's magnificent.

Fallout 2 did a pretty good job of it, too. With higher-tier unarmed attacks bypassing armor in addition to getting buffs to crit chance and raw damage, it was perfectly viable right up until the final boss, and even then, a mega powerfist made up the difference. Funny how 25-year old RPGs had this crap figured out, and Bethesda is just scratching their heads. "We gave you perks! What more do you want?" Perhaps a little testing to see if those perks do enough to make the build actually viable? Just a thought!

I'd love to see him break out the psychic asthma inhaler and space hadouken (I joke but legitimately I think it could be neat to see)

Some of the glitches in Bethesda games are so esoteric that I'm convinced Todd puts them in on purpose.

You’ve really outdone yourself with the beautiful character creator this time

I hope during ur power leveling u were increasing the difficulty before landing then decreasing after spawning in animals for easy kills and tones of XP 👌

You know it's the wrong kind of broken when even Spiff can't brake it.

Oh, it can be broken. Spiff just didn't know all the strats at the time. You can get Nuerostrikes and Concealment maxed, knock everyone out, and finish them with sneak attacks. In fact, you don't even need to knock them all out. Sneak attacks trigger on unconscious targets even if other enemies detect you. Also, Isolation effects Unarmed damage, as does Red Trench and the secondary effect of Grav Dash (increasing damage). Basically, use chems, be alone, and Grav Dash towards an enemy and you can deal 115% more damage. Once they are unconscious all that crit damage from crouching and power attacking them is calculated. That means 10x sneak multiplier MULTIPLIED by 115%. Plus, you can infinitely stunlock unconscious enemies, since as they try to get back up (if they survive the first crit), you just knock them back out again. Nuerostrikes also has some weird unexpected synergy with things you don't expect. Two great examples of this are Mirrored and Grenades. If you have a Mirrored legendary Spacesuit any reflected damage counts as EM damage, and even still has the chance to knock out an enemy instantly. So an enemy shooting you across the room can accidentally knock themselves out. Even more funny is if you throw a grenade, the blunt impact can deal EM damage. So you can knock an enemy out by hitting them directly with a grenade, and they're unable to run to cover from the explosion. With the proper build and some Powers (Void form is amazing with Unarmed) you can be outright broken, especially with the blocking animation cancel for Power Attacks.

From all the Howarding and Todding in the world, this is what you came up with. Great discoveries! Indeed

On top of the drugs you already used and rebinding boost, they sell a drink at The Red Mile called Runners Rush with bonus movement speed, DR and O2 recovery.

Your character creation skills are second to none spiff!

idk if it would take mods or not, but im ready to see you do a mele-only ship build. like is ramming even a thing? massive sheild and some pointy bits up front?

It is. Ive had a few instances where i had a ship at low health and boosted into it. Not sure how much damage it actually does, but its a thing. Viable option? I highly doubt it. Still an attack option? Yes.

I've been waiting for this videos lol

First - I truly enjoy your videos - extremely fun and polished delivery! Second - despite your near brilliant attempt at persuading me otherwise, I'm not really sure I think that proving that unarmed combat is a much slower slog in terms of killing your enemies compared with using the moderate array of lethal weapons available is a reasonable point. Third - i do agree that the ability to maximize this approach should be coupled with more dynamic fighting animation patterns and perhaps options with investment in martial arts leading to use of kicks, and increases in overall attack speed. Fourth - absolutely these attacks should have some scaling with level. Perhaps they could also add a way to customize your unarmed attacks so that you get a few different options that you can use that would appear as separate weapons which you could then use the favorite key to place in your hotbar. For instance, if each tier of martial arts gave you 3 new martial weapon attacks that then appeared permanently in your inventory as weapons you could place in this manner, it would let you customize your martial arts character nicely. The 3 options might include "rapid punch", "snap kick", "submission hold" [tier 1], "elbow strike", "flying kick", "eye strike" [tier 2], "karate chop", etc, etc With clear information as to the attack speed, damage, perhaps range or special effects for each. THAT would make martial arts a fun thing to take to offer close combat options for many builds.... Thanks for the fun and the inspiration! JW

I love that the unarmed build is mostly about how to avoid combat
