Power Armor training

[amirjq]

Could someone make a mod that makes it possible to wear power armor without the perk? You should also change the perk to negate the weight of the armor while wearing it, grant extra (but not excessive) bonuses and remove negatives that are already present. I just feel like this is something missing from the game seeing as all of your companions, boone and cass in particular, can wear power armor while you need training to do it.

well easy enough to just use the console to add the perk or the old pccanusepowerarmor or whatever that command is to cheat it in, dunno the old fo games you could use it np i seem to recall in fo2 considering you could use the speed run to get it at the start of the game, why i added a book that grants it in victors shack in good springs in my mod named the book "power armor for dummies" :P cause you can get power armor pretty early in the game just doing the brotherhood line and looting several sets along that quest, nm if the old end loop gets your game stuck at the part you can actually get the damn training to wear it, then you were boned till the very end of the game just about for using the stuff.

 

me i think the perk should just let you learn how to maintain and repair the stuff, maybe grant an agi bonus of there is any agi penalty on the armor or allow you to move faster in said power armor. seems wearing the stuff should be a no brainer but repairing and caring for the stuff should be where you need some skill to do that.

 

seems just laziness on the coders part that every party member can wear the stuff i mean there is little or no reason why boon should be able to wear pa considering he was an ncr sniper and ncr does not hand pa out to everyone and the ones you scavenge off the ncr guys if you take the non ncr route in game are scavenged pa that have no training req even. so seems ncr does not even have real pa sets at all that they would train people to use it. nm cass being able to wear pa.......

@ amirjq,

 

I can make you a custom suite of Power Armor.

 

I can't texture it, but everything else I can do. Please tell me which suite you want & I'll make it for you. What type of bonuses would you like it to have? There are several different types of power armor. Give me an idea of what it looks like if you don't know the name & I'll find it in the GECK, make it & then place it wherever you want in the game world. I could also just put it on the porch in front of the Merchants store in Goodsprings so you could use it from lvl1.

 

1) Rads & Poison resistance?

2) DT level?

3) Health Regen? Y/N

4) Night Vision?

5) Stealth?

 

Let me know.

how about a tough stealth run like in fo2? and old enclave or ncr base/bunker you have to sneak or fight your way in to get some experimental pa? with mk1 stats and buffs or something? put it way out maybe past nv or in the bug country someplace it would take some effort to get to at lest.

 

single or duo guard patrols you can sneak by if you do not want to gain rep loss with the chosen faction. mean fo2 took some running and usually a lot of reloading your save when the random encounters got hard as you headed down to the base. then i think if memory serves there was one or two patrols to avoid in the actual base, to get to the ladder to reach the level with the armor stored.

 

then you could just remove the pa training req from the armor or add a computer or book in the room that gives you the required training.

 

mean there are a good bunch of power armor mods that probably already put the pas in or near gs etc.
