Pain was nerfed, yes. Real question is whether it is at the right balance, both in realism terms and in gameplay terms.

In gameplay terms, you can still KO some enemies with enough solid hits, so it remains an option. Hell, with humans it seems that I've had to PULP anywhere from 2 to 5 extremities, with the amount varying from individual. This is good, it implies that willpower might be more useful now.

In realism terms, as far as I know outright passing out from pain isn't normal. Thing is we have no concrete indication of whether pain inflicts any other debuffs, which woluld represent distraction and other hindrance due to pain..

This was a deliberate as chaosvolt mentioned. Bone pain now depends on bone size.

This should probably be closed.

Unless there is a consensus that pain has been nerfed TOO much, in which case I suppose it can remain open.

Other than that, I could suggest we go the CDDA route and have pain apply additional debuffs depending on intensity, but I don't know whether it ALREADY does so or not.
