Oh yeah, a question about power armor now. Does Fallout 4 retcon power armor now, so that they're all bulky heavy suits, which other pieces clip onto, or not? It's just, there was a point somewhere in the game, where I read that T-60s were used in Anchorage, but obviously that was not the case in the Operation: Anchorage simulation in Fallout 3's DLC. Or am I mis-remembering stuff (quite likely). Because it's obviously curious that there are no Fallout3/NV style power armours, which can be worn more easily, are more mobile/maneuverable, can swim in, and don't protect from fall damage. --- Quote from: Lord Tony® on November 16, 2015, 11:22:12 PM ---No vehicles in Fallout 4 I'm assuming? What about fast travel does it make sense in this game at least? For NV my fast travel system was a van which when activated will travel to where I want at the cost of gas. --- End quote --- Regular Fast Travel is just how it is in FO3/NV/Oblivion/Skyrim. Choose a point on the map, Fast Travel, loading screen, you and your companion arrive at the spot some time later. If you join the BoS however, they can provide you with smoke grenades, which when used in a suitable area, call in a Vertibird. It lands, you get in, and you then select a place to fast-travel to as normal, and the Vertibird will fly there without a loading screen. You can also shoot the minigun while you fly. There may be alternate means of transport from other factions, or available later in the game though. Not encountered any myself. |

I'm actually quite pleased with it; I no longer require having to buddy up with the BoS (or in NV's case, Arcade Gannon too) to get an arbitrary perk to put on powered plate armor. Fall damage is completely eliminated, as it should be in a 9 foot tall suit of hydraulics and servos. The swimming aspect is sort of funny; how do you swim in a thousand pounds of various metals and ceramics? In-game you just slowly stride across the bottom of rivers or bays, which seems far more appropriate. Power armor feeling and acting like a large, thick suit is very, very appropriate, because that's exactly what it is. At the same time, I can't help but feel a little disdain for the idea that any no-name Joe can pop in a nigh-impervious suit of armor whenever they feel like. As for the T-60s, as far as I know it was produced and distributed in the very very last days of civilization, so post-Anchorage. I've experienced similar but not nearly as cool incidents as you stated above. IMO vertibird health is way too low, it feels like they die literally every time they drop someone off, which doesn't seem very economic for the BoS. |

what sucks is when Gunners get their hands on vertibirds and start hunting you down. VATS fat man crit ended that quick though |
