I'm actually kind of annoyed that the best non-power armor I've been able to get by level 35 is my vault suit and pieces of combat armor that look way too small to protect anything
One of my favorite parts of any RPG that shows the armor on your character is finding a new piece that's better than what you've got and looks really cool to boot, but I've been wearing the same armor for like 15 levels (and the vault suit since level 1) because anything I've found since then is inferior and/or can't be improved at an armor workbench
I've found plenty of neat-looking armor but it's all too bad to even consider using if I want to stay alive so it just sits in my trunk
