WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOUR MAGGOT?

>WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOUR MAGGOT?

i sold it

Gave it to Cassidy

>Power armor in FO1
Great
>Power armor in FO2
Great
>Power armor in FO3
Good designs, but small and weightless
>Power armor in FONV
All the problems of FO3 with none of the good designs. The only new model they made for the APA is literally the worst looking armor in the entire series.
>Power armor in FO4
Save for the fusion cell shit, finally a perfect representation of what it should have been.

X01 > T60 > T45 > T51 > Enclave Power Armors (F3) > APA (FNV)

Fact.

>Save for the fusion cell shit, finally a perfect representation of what it should have been.
Agreed. Probably Fallout 4's only redeeming feature...sadly too weak to save it.

I don't wear Power Armor, Sarge.

>t60 rehash shit over based t51
it's time for you to leave

It's a direct improvement over the T45 which is better than the "based" cartoony as fuck T51.

WRONG. THE FACT IS THAT YOU LOST AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. YOU WILL BE IN THIS ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO PAY BACK FOR THE EQUIPMENT YOU LOST. REPORT TO THE ARMORY AND PICK UP ANOTHER ISSUE ON THE DOUBLE. DISMISS!

>XO1 at top
How does it feel to have great taste?

...

That information was lost and regained by the protagonist of the third game though.

FO4 power armour was ruined by the fact that you don't need training and find the first suit after 5 minutes

HERE IT IS

>it's just a bulkier T-45
why
why would they go backwards in design

Vertibirds are prewar right?

There were prewar vertibird design schematics but a prototype was never actually finished because of the Great War. The Enclave scavenged these schematics and created vertibirds post-war.

the fuck is that

It's an allegory for the game itself. The past games required at least a modicum of thought to succeed. Whereas fallout 4 is so easy a baby could operate it.

I always had a soft spot for the Hellfire Power Armor.

The NCR also manufactures its own Vertibirds in F:NV

People bitch about this but my headcanon was the player character had military training and as such could already use it - didn't you get the vault spot because you were a veteran? It would have been nice to have been told this, or have the VO say something like "ah, this reminds me of Anchorage" as you step in for the first time.

>Power armor in FO3
>Good

>APA is literally the worst looking armor in the entire series

You're ex-army when you play as the guy, though how the woman lawyer knows how to pilot it is a bit weird.

Weren't also Vertibird models in the fallout 3 museum? If I remember correctly they were built, but in prototypes.

>ARMOUR
>U
retard

those were from Navarro. NCR just took them.

>fallout 3
>canon

I guess I can just pretend that Nate taught his wife how to use PA somehow...for some reason

...

A perfect combination with the heavy incinerator.

...

The helmet on Hellfire armor is weird, it would be alright otherwise

Do Bethesda have a masive hardon for stupid helmets or something?

Honestly that's the biggest gripe I had going through F4. I thought I wouldn't mind playing as a character with so much about him already predetermined by the story but honestly it just really got to me just how much story they cram into your character in a series that's been pretty good at letting you be what you wanna be.

>Psycho ingredients
none BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING UNKNOWN unless you want to break it down to the molecular level and you're going to need some serious explaining for that shit and not just "lol science guys did it with nerd stuff"

iirc you aren't even a power-armor user, you're just one of the grunts in combat armor

>my headcanon
>I can just pretend
BETHDRONES LITERALLY TRYING TO DEFEND THIS

I think so. The helmet is a bit of a turn down, but there's worse.

It's also ridiculous how easy is is to make jet, because settlements produce loads of the required materials

You can wind up with over 300+ jet at a time

Honestly though, after having played through F4 and being able to compare it to the disaster that was F3 there is actually a lot that has been improved.
Not the story or how the world "feels" mind you, but still. I'd say gunplay and just the amount of different environments have been improved by an insane amount, Bethesda just needed proper writers and it could actually have been a goty game
Also Glowing Sea is best area

It's Bethesda's idea of choice

>You can make up your own canon for the lore we fucked up!

>Fallout 2
>Enclave may be assholes, but they had reasonable people and character, such as Sergent Dornan and some of the grunts
>Fallout 3
>Enclave are mustache twirling tier.

It should really not have been called "T-60"
T-60 implies that it's an advancement over the T-51, which it honestly looks nothing like.
Should just have been named "T-45 Heavy" or something, that's pretty much what it is.

That guy from the HQ at the nuclear plant.. damn gold.

POWER ARMOR IS FOR PUSSIES

Power Armor training didn't exist in Fallout 1 and 2

it was put in because of Fallout 3's decision to allow you to loot armor from defeated enemies. In the previous Fallout games enemies just died and most of the time didn't drop their armor.

>Fallout 4
>Jet is a prewar drug

Bethesda did a lot of cool shit with Fallout 4, but the writing staff actually managed to outdo themselves in terms of stupidity by having more contrivances, inconsistancies and retarded moments than Fallout 3 + Skyrim put together.

>Fallout 4 Jet
>You can now kill deathclaws with one pistol magazine
So that's the power of brahmin shit.

>Stealthboys have a retarded new design
>They also turn you invisible for about a second

Literally what is the point in them anymore?

i actually don't mind Stealth Boys just being a regular cloaking device. It would explain how characters who didn't have Pip Boys could use them.

Sold it for jet.

IIRC in 1 and 2 power armor had to be custom-fitted to the user. At least that's how I remember that BoS line to get the mk1 stuff worked.

Duty, honor... courage... Semper Fi....

Jet being pre-war shows that the writing staff never played fallout 2, which is where the drug shows up and has a major plot point if explored.

don't you mean postwar?

This mofo gives me nightmares.

>Jet being pre-war shows that the writing staff never read the wiki

I'm not surprised though, Emil is a garbage writer and you can see the writing quality of Bethesda games go on a massive decline since Fallout 3 because of him.

he's bigger than a Super Mutant, had Enclave experiments done on him to augment his vitality, and has a custom-made Advanced Power Armor grafted onto his body which enhances his strength and endurance even further.

yeah and raiders had military training too right?

That's not even the thing. Jet had a major plot arc in Fallout 2 which was surprisingly well written and fun to play through.

I'm not exactly versed in the world behind the scenes but this Emil guy seems like a bit of a flaming faggot who doesn't even show proper respect to other artists.

everytime i see something about supernatural i rewatch it. this is going to be the 5th time this year. i don't think i'll be able to handle it if the show ends

That was just the frame though, I don't think operating a power armor frame requires as much skill as operating individual power armor parts.
And Raider power armor was made of concrete and rebar slabs so you can't exactly call those advanced.
And to be honest, it doesn't feel lik you need special training to use a type of exo-skeleton in the first place.

>Fallout 3 introduces PowerArmor training
>Fallout 4 introduces Power Armor as exosuits
>Fallout 4 no longer needs Power Armor training
when will it end

Proper maintenance and repair on the otherhand could take months to master even if you're technically gifted.

The mechanical aspect of the machine considering the electronics involved as well is quite complex as far as the fallout universe goes.

I would've preferred they made it, so only the T-45d power armor required power armor training, since it was a less advanced model.

The Power Armor from Tactics looked good too.

Tactics was probably the best designed game in terms of art style.

>Contradicted themselves in the same game.

Bethesda writers are terrifyingly horrible.

Just too bad it wasn't a full on RPG like 1 and 2.

>>Power armor in FO3
>Good designs
stopped reading there

isn't that armor just repurposed Enclave Advanced Power Armor with BoS painted on it?

Power Armour is for even bigger casuals in FO4

I DONT HAVE MY POWER ARMOR AND FUCK YOU ANYWAY

Yes.

Fallout Tactics was a fun game.

I remember Sawyer saying that when they were about to work on KoTOR 2, he read every single Star Wars fiction out in the sun to get a bearing on what's what. Same shit with Mitsoda on VtM:B.

The last Bethesda writer that loves their job enough to actually do some research like that already left them long ago. I really can't fault them for not finding better writers since their games make more profit than some third world countries' GDP.

>fallout 2 enclave
>justified extremist
>not nu nazis

If they added a working dialogue tree and speech check system into it, people would be remaking FO 1 and 2 on that shit.

Yeah I guess it makes sense, you're a passionless husk and you have the choice of phoning it in and doing a shit job or doing research yet you're paid the same no matter what.

I guess from that perspective it's pretty reasonable even if what they write is retarded as fuck.

I wonder how Bethesda is going to butcher the midwestern BOS.

Emil says it's only Semi-canon, user.

Lots of shit happened in Tactics so it's understandable but midwest BOS is the only faction in the entire franchise that actually knows what they're doing so I'm still interested in what the future entails for them.

Where/when will the next fallout game take place?

I'd like to see what china is like in pre/post war in the fou

Midwest BOS shits over everything user. I don't think bethesdacucks like it very much.

Raiders? Check.
Ghouls? Check.
Supermutants? Check.
Beastmasters? Check.
Deathclaws? Check.
Military robots? Check.

There is literally nothing the wasteland can throw at them without them being able to at least fight back.

>Not liking Tesla Armour
Are you some kind of faggot?

Fallout is about America, user. America with the thin veneer of 50's sci-fi getting shit on by reality.

Then again, that shit stopped in FO3 so I guess anything can happen.

>my headcanon

fuck off

Yeah but don't you wanna see what america did to those chinks user

China is a continental version of The Glow probably.

It's because the Sole Survivor, the canon one (Nate) was a soldier that presumably used it when it was still new.

There sould have been a perk that makes it easier to use it the more you invest. Start out your character can barely use it and as you lvl up he gets better and better. Ya getting it in the first five min was shit.

But I also heard that they want something that could reasonably beat up the NCR, which the MW BoS would do great at.

Power armors were (sort of) overpowered in FO1 and FO2, given how easily you can get them right after starting. In FO2 it's a matter of travelling to San Fran and stealing shit from the shopkeeper there.

But aside from that, I guess it was ok. Also properly done in New Vegas.

As for Fallout 3 or 4, who fucking cares? The only way I could even stomach 4 was making a hot redheaded milf and have her running around in the BOS plugsuit. Power armors were needlessly complicated in that, not to mention it was just literal EZ mode.

Can we all agree the FO4 had the best power game play?

>how easily you can get them right after starting. In FO2 it's a matter of travelling to San Fran and stealing shit from the shopkeeper there
That only happens with 2nd playthrough or if you're scrub and used a guide.

Midwestern BoS would curbstomp NCR.

Best Power Armor across the entire Fallout universe reporting in.

you didn't need training in 1 or 2 and training was always a gating mechanic in 3 and in NV it took so damn long to get the training you're never gonna use the powered armor for long.

The problem in 4 is you get the armor too early and fusion cells are shit. I will never understand why people are attached to a shitty little perk that debuted in the 3rd worst fallout game.

> BoS as worst fallout game.

Mah nigga.
