Power armor in future Fallouts

[Pira]

Maybe keep the bulky version as a variant. Maybe they could have used them to hold the line while the skinny version flanked (during chinese-american war) ? Just to please both sides they could do this.

I like how power armor worked in Fo4
only thing i didnt like was the amount of fule cell burn on the beasts
1 mod fixed that very fast

oh and the helmet ui was a downgrade from the nervada teams helmet ui in fonv

Definately agree that i love the new power armor. The old style just felt super op and was easy to abuse. The new set definately added a huge restriction on how much you could use it and limited its strength.

The fuel burn is definately annoying, but the perk for it helps a ton and makes sense where it is on the tree. Considering the sheer strength of the armor, it needs to have limiters.

I don't think I can use power armor anymore if its done differently from fallout 4. I feel that power armor should be like this instead of just another body armor. Maybe make it an end game content to balance it out.

They should expand on combat armor since it has a lot of potential especially in utility(desert rangers)

I like how PA works in Fo4, but it needs to be a huge undertaking to aquire, like in the original Fallout. To be given it so early in the game made it cheap. I feel like the suit you get in the museum should break after fighting the deathclaw. That way, you get a taste of being a walking tank, but don't get to abuse it so soon.

The fisrt suit you get is trash, and most the time after I deal with the riders and deathclaw it's morstly ruined, later on in the game you can really make yourself into a tank when you get a better suit. PA in Fo4 is really good tho, It's meant to be this big bulking suit stomping around, you could always look into PA's counterpart if you wanted something quite.

I don't think some of you got my original post. I meant to keep the old style fallout3 power armor and fallout4 power armor. But they would each serve a different purpose. Oh and revert fusion cores to how they used to be.

How they used to be ? Fusion cores were only added to Fallout 4. Before if you wanted to use power armor you had to get the power armor training perk and that was it.

As for varients I could see it for sure. But I think it would be more like Fallout 3 where you had the medic power armor for example that was a prototype. It would only make sense that there would be descarded and forgotten prototype power armor that you could find. Maybe something with some kind of advanced AI, or built in stealth technology. Or perhaps an even heavier varient that has working shoulder mounted miniguns.

Fusion core lore. There has always been fusion cores but before they lasted pretty much forever.

No thanks... If people want to wear powered pyjamas, they can get them modded back in...

The shorter charge was for gameplay balancing purposes, otherwise they'd need to be ultra rare to find...

As it is I have over 400 (minus what I've bothered selling) on my first character...

I think the Fo4 system is good, however if i could carry the additional weight i sure as hell would be carrying an small autocannon or the like while walking around in PA. One of the reason beside protection that the PA was added to the battlefield was to field heavy guns and yet you there are no "super-heavy" weapons that are PA usable only.

I hope Fo5 will feature a set of super heavy weapons that's PA usable only, perhaps restrict ammo or let the guns wear out so they can't be used 24/7. Also weight carried should determine battery load to a certain degree.

Why not have both power armor styles for the future game?

[abcd]

The armors in use in fallout4 are primarily great-war relics, antiques, and modifications of a stock so large and prevalent that the Atom Cats happened and every faction has at least one in regular use two hundred years later. It's literally garbage technology, you can fix every part with a pile of scrap steel and a telephone but making another one would be a huge waste of every component involved compared to say, building a water purifier for five or ten towns.

Everything everywhere else has been made or remade post-war, likely with extensive modifications to the original concept and power systems. Presumably the great war stock had some sort of modification done to their fusion engine such that they didn't occasionally explode in combat, likely the battery system, as well as massive power draw to run its integrated electronics systems. Remember that electronics are very underdeveloped in this world due to the failure to discover the semiconductor, and the idea that a man-sized suit somehow has the room for even a single simple one is almost crazy. Like, Vault-Tec had pipboys and they were literally the only ones in the whole world. Also keep in mind that in this world a fusion core is somewhere around a 12v battery in terms of how common it is, so making a wildly inefficient design based on it seems relatively economical.

I think instead of having both FO3/NV & FO4 style power armor, they should just expand on combat armor.

The Marine Combat Armor is already a pseudo power armor in combat armor form. Taking this step would make sense lore wise I think.

Power Armor has always had this impression of being this suit that allows its wearer to be almost over powered so they should keep FO4 style power armor to keep that feel and expand on its combat armor instead.

If they keep changing the lore, then it's not really lore. Anything could happen.
