Unarmed damage with Power Armor

[Evra]

Let me start off by saying that Unarmed characters have always been my character of choice in Fallout 3 and Fallout NV. They're just fun to play. I never once enjoyed playing a melee build, but unarmed builds are a boatload of fun.

Let me also say that I LOVE what they did with Power Armor in Fallout 4. I really like how wearing it isn't just another suit of armor that makes you slower but gives slightly more protection. In Fallout 4, it's an entire suit of armor you put on OVER your other armor, almost like a robotic suit you pilot. That being said, I HATE the fact that you cannot equip fist weapons while wearing power armor. Wearing my power fist, my unbuffed unarmed damage is 155. Putting on a fully modded suit of Power Armor takes my unarmed damage down to 10.

Yes, you read that correctly. Not 1000. Not 100. 10. TEN. ONE ZERO. That's absolutely pathetic. When wearing power armor (which increases strength), I can equip melee weapons. But a power fist is out of the question? What a JOKE! So the only time I have worn Power Armor in this game is when I played my gun using character. For this unarmed build I'm doing, I have left my power armors in my settlements or let my companions or settlers use them. Haven't done a single mission with them since I helped the Minutemen escape and fought off the deathclaw. If I can do more damage without it, I have no use for it.
