This secomd character has made much better use of power armour, despite having fewer cores and not interacting at all with the BoS.
Which has made it quite fun actually that I've been swapping pieces out from others, going from Half T45, to half T45, half T51, and then half T51 half T60, and just recently to full T60e. Can't wait to start finding X01 pieces.
Also, I finally dropped Dogmeat (bye bye +100 inventory), and took Hanrooster, so now he brings home spare Power Armour frames, and I have too many for the Diamond City house.
