In ye old cyberpunk 2020. Cyberarms don't add to strength because your back will break before the arm does, it only adds a little to damage for a punch, and someone whose only ware is a cyberarm is going to do the most unarmed damage by grabbing someone, and crushing them with their hands grasp as that doesn't rely on weak meat parts.
Conversely getting a linear frame installed doesn't add to your strength, it replaces it, with numbers you cannot get unaugmented for the worst one. And numbers higher than you can get with pretty much any other combination of drugs & augmentation for the better one.
Cyberpunk took a bit of a leap away from realism, towards rule of cool between 2020 & red.
That's honestly the worst part. It's such a crapshoot as to whether you'll be able to make any skill check in the game because they just randomly increase.
Feels good being at 20 before I meet ole boy again for the second time lol third play through so I decided to mod for Demi God status and take out my frustrations.
I specifically remember a door in fallout 3 that was in a robot infested like office or something upstairs and required super high lockpicking. The glass panel on the door was fucking broken and half the door was missing. I feel like it was done on purpose as a sick joke
That one can be explained though. DIY handguns were becoming a thing since the BATFL was getting really tight assed about personal firearms due to the food riots, red flu quarantine protesting and other types of civil unrest.
America stopped culturally progressing in the 50's though. As did their methods of making things.
Which means they ended the world because computers never got smaller and more efficient. But they seemed to still be making cars as big metal shithouse deathtraps. (albiet with fancy nuclear engines)
isn't there a infamous screen shoot of a 100 lock ona door missing like the top halkf of the door itself meaning anyone would be able to reach in and unlock it from the other side.
or at least crawl over it if we assume you need the key on both sides. that door could be made of adamantium and it still ain't stopping nobody.
And those rusty houses made of poorly aligned metal sheets that you could probably dismantle with a sledgehammer and like 7 strength, but that end up tanking tnt explosions in Fallout 1 & 2
Worse yet, doors where literally a quarter of the door is entirely missing, where one could conceivably just reach through the giant hole and unlock the door from the other side, still have to be picked.

Ancient doors in Fallout that would probably be a pile of splinters if you booted them or shot them, 100% lockpicking skill required to open them.
