Adamantium Skeleton question

[Josh]

I've got this perk in both prior games for its usefulness. Reduced limb damage and no crippling was a big help in New Vegas on hardcore mode.

My question is, does adamantium skeleton affect power armour pieces on your arms and legs? Since I take reduced limb damage, does that mean my power armour takes 50% longer to require repairs? Or when I get no crippling, does that mean the power armour on my limbs cannot be damaged?

I'm assuming it doesn't mean that. I think i've been crippled on survival mode twice in 120 hours...seems adamantium skeleton is a complete waste if it doesn't affect power armour.

It just means your main characters limbs. It's use is dubious unlike in Fallout New Vegas...the only times I've seen a crippled limb was when I was literally screwed anyway and dead soon after..AKA "I used to be a Sole Survivor like you....then I took a Fat Man to the knee" type stuff.

Yeah, seems like a useless perk. I've got my X-01 power armour on constantly and never get crippled, o well.

Thanks for the answer, will invest the points in something better.

With the removal of Doctor Bags and with normal stimpack usage healing limbs, its hard to justify taking this perk.

Shame since it was a perk I loved in prior ones. It needs some additional effect in FO4. Like reducing falling damage.
