[FO2] Heavy Handed trait?

[Capt Vee]

A quick question on the Heavy Handed trait:

Does it reduce how often you get criticals AND the quality of the criticals, or does it only affect frequency of criticals and not their quality?

I never much cared for Criticals, Luck, or whatnot. Don't believe in it.

Reduces the quality of criticals by 30%, the opposite of Better Criticals. It's never worth getting for HtH characters, because you will raise your skill high enough so that you can make targetted attacks to the head or eyes, raising your critical chance, and as far as the math goes, the bonus melee damage does not make up for it.

I don't believe in Luck, only in Fate!
Since Luck is a genuine Attribute in FO, does that mean that Fate does not exist in Fallout?

 

[Sander]

Ehm, no, because something perceived as 'Luck' can be a part of fate.

Of course, there is no fate in Fallout because you have a lot of freedom to do what you want.
