Noticed it today also. I usually played with light armor, but switched to PA recently and noticed that a Switchblade-wielding NPC can easily remove up to 40-50 HP per hit from me. Removed this mod and now they deal next to no damage. Weird that it happens even on normal strikes, I'd expect it to happen only for sprint-based attacks.
I think it has something to do with npcs spamming the sprint power attack. Apparently there was also a problem with npcs ignoring DT and DR but it seems that was addressed in the last update.
Unfortunately, it seems that this issue is still present on my end for whatever reason, because I'm still getting torn apart even by a lowly thug wielding a lead pipe whilst wearing high-end medium armour with DR on it (JSUE).
This causes Veronica and presumably any melee companion to overshoot the target and miss almost every time they engage with their initial power attack. I watched her miss over and over. Only her standing standard attacks work as expected.
I disabled this and now she never misses, unless they back away, but that's normal.
This really sucks. I love this mod. I guess I'll just stick them to ranged duty.
Here's a video showing what I'm talking about. first half is with the mod, second without.
For my personal use I have tried to edit this mod to stop the npcs from sprinting and power attacking every time I take a step back by editing the scripts using FNVEdit or GECK but I am unable to make any changes. Does anyone have any idea why?
Edit:
Still unable to edit the scripts but increasing the global variable iStopNpcSprintDist seems to help with my problem
Getting two bugs with this mod. Whenever I try and block an attack with a melee weapon the NPC hits right through it. Second is whenever an NPC will land a hit, my character goes sliding backwards.
Damn, I also get this occasion where NPCs in unarmed/ melee combat, when they hit player, your character will get knock-back sliding backwards or in any direction really. Anybody know how to fix this? Is it cause by JIP LN?
I loved this mod, improved combat so much but I cannot figure out the dispel issue I'm seeing in console, so am disabling it for now and hoping for updates from someone.
Edit: I'm going to use Improved Console and see if I can track down the issue

The only problem I have with this mod is sprinting power attack from NPCs always miss lol
It says it's "outdated", because this mod has been fixed, but apparently that isn't true.

No longer having this issue, i think the problem was with JIP. Newer update must of fixed it.
