Who else wants to smack Sturgis up side his head!?

He tells you there is a full set of cherry T-45 power armor, then get up there and there is only 2 pieces at best and not in that great of shape.

Btw, a damaged T-45 power armor is realistic and powerful so there is nothing wrong with this game design.

 

Imagine in the Far Harbor DLC, there is a sweet undamaged beautiful power armor with fusion core on (and no raiders steal it for 200 years).

 

Power armor frame = 1200 caps, the rest of the power armor pieces should be worth 800 to 1000 caps, fusion core = 160 caps (no raider steal it? what about Gunners or someone in Far Harbor?)

 

Power armor should be damaged due to radiation and wear and tear. Power armor pieces should never be in 100 percent condition.

 

Those power armor pieces buried under water are in 100 percent conditions (SPOILERS: For example Northwest of Covenant)

 

Btw, if someone from Bethesda is watching this forum, please make power armor scarce in F05.

The issue is not with the 200 years of theft and degradation, its a mismatch between the DIALOGUE and PRODUCT

 

"We're talking a full suit of cherry T-45 Power Armor. Military issue."

 

Its usually a full set for me, but it is never CHERRY (as in tip-top condition).

[DragonBorn5185]

Never been a full set for me. Always been 2 peices.

Sheesh...................

 

1. "Cherry" in the wasteland = a power armor after you exit the vault in a few in game hours (less than 30 minutes of real time game play).

 

2. The reason the power armor is in bad condition = Bethesda wants the player to battle the deathclaw with a vertibird minigun.

 

3. They want the deathclaw to smash parts of the T-45 (game effect).

 

4. It is actually a power armor tutorial (teaching players that power armor gets weakened or destroyed in combat PLUS they can repair the power armor at Red Rocket or Sanctuary Hills).

 

5. I bring up the Far Harbor power armor = I just want to start a constructive dialogue (I always wonder why power armor with fusion core never gets stolen and it is in 100 percent condition).

 

6. Omg, sometimes game developers say something to lead the player to have false expectations (which I think it is okay).

 

7. Btw, I am not defending Bethesda, I do criticize them if people check my posts.

[HeyYou]

Some of the power armors that are in great shape, complete with fusion core, are locked behind gates, and such. But then, there are also suits just standing out in the open, and nothing around to prevent anyone from just walking off with 'em. Or, they are inside a structure of some sort, that really isn't an obstacle at all..... ready to go, but, still there....... Yeah, that one does kinda make ya wonder. At least those that don't have a fusion core are partially understandable, but, when you consider how easy it is to find fusion cores.... it makes a lot less sense that there are suits everywhere, after 200 plus years..... One would think that the fusion cores would have been swiped LONG ago, and then the armor used until it was essentially useless.

 

Ah well.
