Open power armour helmets? For stat bonuses.

[Mansen]

Has anyone found an open Power Armour helmet of any type yet? Or seen a mod that includes them? I'd love to get the paintjob bonus (and base stats from the helmet ideally), but I hate wearing a full face helmet.

I want to walk around like Brotherhood knights - not sound like discount siberian mickey mouse vader.

There are no open PA helmets, because they are designed to protect your entire head. They are all buckets that cover your face and make you sound like 'discount siberian mickey mouse vader'.

Great... Thanks bethesda for taunting us with no-helmet NPCs, but not letting us do it ourselves I guess.

Bring in the modders!

I assume you're referring to Paladin Danse? He doesn't wear a PA helmet.. His helmet is broken.

You can take yours off, even take the hood of danse but no open faced helms.

I'm referring to most Brotherhood soldiers who use power armour. I know Bethesda does this to make faces recognizeable - But I should be able to do it as well, without losing out on at least "set" bonuses.

Of course - And that's what I've been doing. But because I'm not wearing a helmet, I lose out on bonuses from my paintjob, because it requires the same paintjob...on all parts.

So you want an invisible helmet? That's retarded. Unless you're playing on the hardest difficulty that one piece of armor isnt gonna make a difference anyway. I havent worn a helmet my entire save game because i want to wear a hat instead , doesnt mean i'm gonna look for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hat with power armor stats...

Take the helmet off, power suits double as enviormental suits, the helmets on the xo1 litteraly seal into the rest of the armor. Danse wore his helmet once and then litteraly got rid of it, you can give him a new one though i think.

The problem is they cant make an item invisible that you have on, because the item is not part of you (the dropped model is the same thing as equipped)

[Mansen]

That's like...your opinion and all that.

Personally, I'd like getting the +1 Charisma bonus from my paintjob.

I see what you want now then, hopefully a mod will arrive that will do it.

danse puts his helmet on when he goes into combat, you can do the same,, the game pauses when you open your pipboy or you can hotkey the helmet

skyrim also has a script mod that puts the helmet on automatically when combat begins and takes it off when it ends. cant see why that script wouldnt work here

[Mansen]

Sure that could work - It wouldn't help in dialogue however, which is where I personally need/want it the most. And it would still add vader voice modulation (unless a scripter can mod that out as well of course)

*sigh*

Seems like this is a thing for GECK kit at any rate... Such a long wait ^^

I personally think the X01 armour is crying out for some kind of bucket/bubble helmet.

Also I'm shocked the hazmat suits helmet isn't transparant.

X01s helmet is kinda a bubble already

Hazmats never been clear, partly because of having it be a generic grunt uniform (in older games)
