Fallout Fallout General Thread - War, War Never Changes. Nor do game engines.

Let me guess the place is called Girdershade?

Huh I wonder if anyone built a settlement based off of the Saints headquarters. In Saints Row 2, you set up shop in an abandoned hotel that is under the city. It has several other areas attached to it. I could see that being a Fallout setlement.
 
Oh it's the guy who did a no death no save speed run through Fallout on his first try. :sneaky:

So standard player character.
FO1 and 2 kicked my ass the first few times I played it, but I generally knew how to make a decent build just by reading what the traits and skills did.
...Except for the few times I tried a gambling run, which sucked.
 
Still annoyed how Power armor is basically a battlesuit now, instead of a smaller more compact formfitting armor.
NV shows that you can rip the servos out and, with some air conditioning and a lot of strength, move it around on your lonesome.
Good luck with doing that with FO4 suits, hell the gloves aren't even your real hands...

Me totally not liking the battlesuit design while everyone hates it.
 
Fallout Power Armor and Form Fitting is a combination of words I'm unfamiliar with. Unless we're taking a very liberal use of the term form fitting (or Power Armor).

I don't mind the power armor designs really. I think that while Power Cores are dumb, the idea of Power Armor being giant suits of actual power armor is more in line with what it was in Fallout 1/2. New Vegas improved on it with introducing Damage Toughness as a combat factor but in Fallout the idea of getting critically hit for zero points of damage was a very amusing meme. Bullets were just bouncing off of Power Armor as it should be.
 
I think the aspect of it being...ya know Power Armor makes the aspect from 4 seem more viable.

Explain how in NV you can wear it without the servos without becoming completely immobile? :V

One of the older concepts, later loading screen, showed a rather form-fitting power armor suit. Obviously stylized and what-not, but the thing is supposed to be man-portable at the end of the day.
 
My question is.
How can you wear parts of the power armor without the other parts?
It makes no logical sense.
You mean how you can slap T-45 parts on a T-51? Despite the two armor sets using different methods of locomotion?
 
Yes.
And the fact you can have parts destroyed snd it still works, etc.
FO4 rationalized it as there being an underlying 'frame' and the actual 'power armor' is just metal sheets you duct tape to it.
Meaning the primitive T-45a and Enclave X-01 Mark IV are 'really' identical beneath the plating.

Which...Is such fucking nonsense lmao.

In reality, yeah battle damage to power armor would very much likely result in hydraulic leaks, electrical fires, etc, all nasty stuff which would make it stop working.

The underlying frsme makes more sense.
And I mean, a lot of things are the same on the inside. Especially military wise.

A T72 and a T90 are the same internally for the most part.

Same with power armor. It isn't identical underneath, the frame os just a place to put it on.
