That just kinda defeats the purpose of "badass armor that can survive tank shells and centuries of warfare", IMO. FO3 had a "bugged" PA for DLC that had unlimited health, and it definitely felt like the ultimate armor, not because of high DR, but because you didn't need to stop every five minutes to find spare parts. Hell, its not like this has no basis in lore. If item health is a problem, just jack it up for Power Armor. The abundance (and suckiness) of it in FO3 just didn't feel right to me. Power armor is supposed to be the pinnacle of Pre-War tech, not some tin can that is just barely better than whatever scraps wastelanders wear.
And that particular armor carries the limitation of making you target practice for the faction that is present in most of the game's hubs.Īnd I certainly prefer it that way. You can get lots of it if you do a certain quest, but its not like in FO3, where that wandering armor merchant (Crow?) would have some in his inventory after upgrade, where the BOS would give away its t-45 for a few hundred caps if you were nice to papa Lyons, and where every single weaksauce mook of the main enemy faction of the main quest wore some of it. Its still funny to let Legion recruits scratch your paint with those machetes while you spin your Minigun. Truly feel like a walking tank now, except against those damn anti-mat rifle Centurions. I just got the Enclave PA, however, and this one gives you a boss 38 DT with a full set. T51-b is just 5 DT higher than ranger armor/reinforced mark 2, and it slows you down even more. On that subject, I am a bit disappointed in Power Armor's low effectiveness across the board. I know of only two way one is an obscure and long quest line that is triggered by doings stuff nobody really seems to know about, the other is relatively easy but can still be missed. The only real difficulty is getting the training. The others you have to earn with high level quests (killing the Van Graffs before being at least level 15 must not be feasible). Plus IIRC its only BoS armor that just lies around waiting for you, in pretty hostile environments, and wearing it is a good way to get shot by the game's most present faction (that should definitely go away after you establish truce, I agree). Yeah, if you know exactly where to look you can get power armor easily, but that is also pretty much true for the first two games too (rushing to BoS or navarro to get it was only made hard because of the need to reload after impossible random encounters).
