Difficulty bugged or am I bad? (lemmy.world)

I usually play Bethesda games on the easiest difficulty because it feels more realistic for enemies to die quicker.

However I’m still struggling with the combat in this game. Some enemies still feel like bullet sponges despite me being on “very easy” mode.

I notice they have perfect aim from a distance while I struggle to get hits on them. Anyone else?

Or anyone have tips for how they’re approaching combat?

I did just watch a clip of someone on normal difficulty and their enemies were taking just as long to kill as mine were on very easy.

This game surprised me because I usually play games on normal to start, then lower the difficulty once it starts getting annoying, but I never felt the need to lower it here. It's highly dependent on happening to get good weapons and having a lot of ammo, though - I got pretty low at one point but ended up doing a lot of non- or low-combat quests in a row, which ended up giving me a lot of ammo and good weapons.
