One of the few good things in FO4 is the design of power armor actually feeling like you’re a futuristic knight in armor. The fusion core system is lame and a retcon but I understand that they wrote themselves into a corner because they give you the best mechanic in the game so quickly. Regardless, power armor in FO4 is just special and makes an organization like the BoS not feel dumb for having ranks like “knight” or “paladin” because that power armor really does put them on a different level compared to everyone else just like Medieval knights were.
@boroskiwi1143 Жыл бұрын
They should have removed the core and reduced the armours health. It's the first fallout you find scrap material and repair fully, they should have played into that more. Like you're near unstoppable in armour, that's cool but boring as well given the protection is so durable. It could have been the first fallout you really need the power armour or you die very easily, making scrap and repair very important, this would have played well since you get the armour very early.

I think the cores are a good way to go but maybe they should rework them a bit because they burnt out way too fast even after the several perks you can get to extend their life and then turn them into a a hand grenade when they were depleted. And make sense that Fusion cores burn a lot quicker and say a Gatling laser but not really in power armor Hackett Professor was really smart and wanted to be a dick to players they could make it to where the modern main gun since it doesn't have an ampac / battery pack on back of the character have that as a requirement to use the minigun power armor that's first of all a way to lift it and a way to power it which would burn a fusion core quicker.

I actually love the implementation of dr and dt in nv and fallout 3 respectively. In fallout new vegas it was very satisfying to get good amour and be able to stomp over lower level enemies. Where as in fallout 3, a game that had in my opinion some of the greatest atmosphere in the entire franchise, had amour reduce the % of damage taken. This means, that even lower level enemies with weaker equipment could still pose a rather considerable threat to you. This made you feel incredibly vulnerable when exploring the wastes, which only added to that lonely and threatening atmosphere fallout 3 had, and made you Atleast think about how to deal with some engagements, especially on higher difficulties. I love how both systems worked.

Bro, you're in the OA bunker....right next to the winterized t51b. Legitimately the best armor in the game. It has basically infinite durability and *45* DR I'd also like to point out that combat armor is a rough equivalent to our own military combat armor. Which for those who know anything about guns and physics, what the armor will stop depends on its grade. Going under the assumption it's the same as it's real life counterpart, combat armor will be focused on stopping 5.56 and/or 7.62 and below. While those bullets won't pierce your body until the armor is damn near broken, the sheer inertia behind each one has a real chance of *Shattering ribs* even WITH the armor on. I understand DR is an odd system to work with, but it does have some basis. Imagine if some Joe Shmoe teen slapped on modern combat armor and had someone shoot them in the chest. They'd be on the floor puking cuz that shit *hurts*. The Vault Dweller, at the end of the day, is just such a teen.

The tanks they are meant to replace tactically take multiple hours of maintenance for each hour of operation in real life.

I've always maintained that the majority of weapons in universe should be homemade, and looks like an ingenutive meth-head made it.

It felt weird to put on ballistic or power armor that looked totally fine (visually) but be 15-20% protected since everything was often heavily damaged.

And some armor having a resistance to those specific ammo types from the beginning, for example that huge chest of the T-60 being designed to defend the soldier against HEAT rounds but still being technically inferior to T-51 against regular weapons. And the area that the armor actually covers could also Play a role.

What's even worse is you need repair at 100 (in 3) to fully repair things, so your constantly having to repair things.
@Hewasnumber1 Жыл бұрын
You don’t need to fully repair though. The difference between max durability and 80% is often at best just one or two DR points. It’s not that big of a deal to be below max unless you just absolutely NEED that bar to be full.

@@brucethemoose1315 In my experience: it’s the complete opposite. Worrying about keeping that meter topped off at all times just means your repairing MORE than if you just shrugged and said “it’s good enough.”

Apparently, no vendors in the base game of Fallout 3 have a repair percentage higher than 60%, which is just ridiculous. Soma has a 100% repair skill, but it's very likely that she glitches out and disappears from the game entirely

Gotta love it in fo1 or fo2 when you have power armor and see that “you were critically hit for 0 damage.” Magical. Same reason I got the mod for new Vegas that removes the DT minimum. So you can take 0 damage from stuff
@AlchemistOfNirnroot Жыл бұрын
You can easily get 85% damage resistance in F3. Idk why you're using low condition items and pretending the repair skill doesn't exist. I'd prefer a system where you can only get DR early on with low to nonexistent DT. And then progress to a mix to finally relying on DT and high DR. A bit closer to the OG games.

Fallout 4 I could literally, LITERALLY, walk into the middle of a bandit camp wearing power armor then walk downstairs to get a glass of water and by the time I'm back up I'm only down less than half HP.

I much preferred that New Vegas primarily focused on Damage Threshold for armor and approached Damage Resistance in a different manner and it allowed for much more diverse play styles. Being able to take damage in F3 was almost entirely dependent on how strong your armor was. NV on the other hand allowed me to be a sneaky naked monster that could take a mini nuke to the face purely because my endurance stat was maxed out, I’d implanted myself with cybernetics and I had every DR/DT perk under the Sun

This is why you should play FO3 via Tale of Two Wastelands, so you get that OG fo3 with the far better NV meColdplay. TTW gives every piece of armor in fo3/fnv both DT and DR, and rebalances enemies to take this into account. I also highly recommend the Titans of the New West mod as well, so that the power armor of fo3+fnv is massive like in fo4/76, instead of looking like a bulky cosplay.

i strongly think that fallout 3 should of had a repair merchant that repaired your stuff to 100% or even 90% maybe we would have to do a mission to have him get to 100% repair skill, maybe the mission could have us go and collect books about repairing armor or weapons and we gave the books to him and his repair skill goes up, could have been a cool mission and a cool way of repairing armor.

You can still make your character really tough, though. High endurance, get the dmg resistance version of "Wasteland Guru" by giving END or STR answers as much as possible, get the Ant Sight/Might perk, Barkskin Perk, Toughness, Cyborg, and the perks from Pitt/Point Lookout. Your base DR should be like...34? The defender perk adds 10 so when standing still 44. Take med x you'll have almost 70 DR and that's without Armor.
