abborre Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Basically just a cool idea I thought of, not really a request. In order to protect one self from radiation in the real world, lead is often used. Of course, lead is heavy, so you can only cover yourself in so much of it. But what if you made a suit of lead on top of an exo-skeleton? The idea is a bulky suit made of lead, similarly to the power armors of the Fallout universe, but intended to provide heavy radiation shielding, instead of combat protection. Since lead isn't as protective as steel, especially not comapred to how heavy it is, such a suit would offer less protection and durability than combat power armor, but instead it could provide absolutely unparalleled radiation protection, at the cost of agility and with the requirement of power armor training. Lore-wise, it could be a pre-war suit made for work in irradiated area where the strength of the exo-skeleton would allow it not only to carry all that lead, but would also make it suitable for heavy lifting, which makes sense if the suit was intended for stuff like disaster relief, or similar but military applications. Or it could be a power armor suit that had its armor replaced with lead plating post-war. The idea of lead-shielded exo-skeleton makes sense to me, and seems like it'd fit in well in the world and games of Fallout. Maybe some modder thinks the same. Thanks for reading.
