Power armor

The biggest issue with power armor mods is most look lame. One of the coolest power armor mods, and most definitely one that would have the most downloads is section 8 power armor.

I dont know what Section 8 is.

In the Army Section 8 is ( or was) when they kick you out for being crazy. :D

 

But I love Neeher's SE-01 Power Armor:

I have a lot of pics of it in my profile images:

That's kind of the preference of the game section 8. To date I haven't found any power armor that is more amazing looking. I run a future campaign and everyone in it ends up downloading a jpg of the armor to represent what theirs looks like. Wish I knew how to mod I've tried and failed way to many times. Yes I've watched every tutorial and I feel dumb. Just hoping beyond hope someone's interest would get peaked to look up section 8 power armor and possibly make one.

Section 8 and Section 8 prejudice is an FPS for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It never saw a lot of attention because the multi-player servers were the worst of their perspective generation, and a lot of people just called it a pretty halo clone. Now don't get me wrong the plot was ok at best and the voice acting was subpar the mechanics of the game was just like any other FPS, so it was still fun to play. S8 prejudice did fix a lot of the problems with the first but the damage was done. Where this game shone was the visuals no other game of its time looked as stunning. When it came to the Power Armor it was what we all were looking for but didn't know it was what we were looking for in terms of design. Power armor design now adays is like being in the 60's and saying that the Shelby Cobra was the peak of all vehicle design, and no other car would look more sleek or powerful then drop in the Bugatti Bolide.

I see what you mean now.

But I must confess in my opinion the Fallout 4 Power Armors have a more grounded and industrial look that fits the fallout universe better.

I appreciate your opinion and I totally understand. Don't get me wrong this is just my opinion and FO has a special place in my heart as one of my favorite games. It is what got me into computer gaming in the first place.

I am trying to make the game more futuristic and emissive for me, as well as a new twist on the old. This all started from that Netflix series about Chernobyl. Case in point if you look at Chernobyl Ukraine, Bikini Atoll Republic of Marshall, Nagasaki Japan, and my back yard (basically) Green Valley Colorado or Rifle Colorado all of them have the same thing in common. Nature didn't give 2 craps about the radiation, and they are all green. And if we kept on till 2077 with nuclear (new clear) power replacing gas things would have gotten more sleek and powerful not gone back to steam power. My idea is still valid within the Fallout universe as most baddies we face are genetically engineered and not mutated, same with the flora and fauna. I know I know what about Ghouls as they are the only ones who truly mutated because of the nuclear radiation. Who is to say Vault tech didn't have something to do with them. It's possible that their mutation was caused by a vaccine developed by vault tech before the war that most people willing took causing the mutation once exposed to radiation. There are a lot of what ifs and a lot of vague answers that we get from place to place.

I wont argue with you on the radiation issue.

I agreed radiation is trope overhyped by the devs.

Most of them reside in california and we know what the politicla ttitudes there are to nuclear power.
