Armor that you'd like to see

[Shadowclaimer]

This post is to compile a listing of what the community would like to see Armor-wise in the game once the CS is released, so add your own in and we'll see how far this list goes.

 

Here's my personal listing:

 

More Variation Texture-wise on the Power Armor Suits

Ex: (Each with its own Texture/Model)

Brotherhood of Steel Initiate Power Armor (Light Variant)

Brotherhood of Steel Medic Power Armor (Medium with +Med)

Brotherhood of Steel Veteran Power Armor (Medium)

Brotherhood of Steel Gunner Power Armor (Heavy, +Big Guns)

Brotherhood of Steel Assault Power Armor (Heavy, +DR, ++Melee)

Brotherhood of Steel Recon Power Armor (Light, +Sneak +Agi)

Enclave varieties of most of the above.

 

Variety in the plain clothing found, the Wastelander clothes should come in some other colors besides the default grey (albeit it should all be faded and dirty)

 

Maybe more powerful varieties would require extensions of the Power Suit perk that have to be gained through quests for a certain faction? Thus forcing the player into a more factional position. *Shrugs* anyone else have any =p

Some armor I would like to see... are Star Wars armors. Like the Stormtrooper, Clone trooper, ARC Trooper, Dark Troopers, that kinda thing. I know it isn't in line with the Fallout universe, but hey. We could possibly be seeing a Star Wars total conversion mod. :D Assuming we get a CS, anyway...

some armor that IS NOT power armor!

[Shadowclaimer]

Haha, good ol' power armor =D

I agree and to follow this thought a little further...

 

Light Combat Armor: Added Stealth and Agility at the expense of Defense

Medium Combat Armor: Basically where the Talon Merc Armor is now. Possibly adjusted stats

Heavy Combat Armor: Increased Defense and weight with no loss of stats

Medic Combat Armor: Same weight as Heavy Combat Armor with the defense of Medium, the additional weight is accounted for by the injection and associated control systems

 

Light Armors:

Vault Police Armors in Light, Medium and Heavy variants. Utilizing the Vault Armor acquired from Moira as the median.

Isn't that what the Recon Armor is for? Or do you have something different in mind, like a Stealth +2, AGI +2 as opposed to the Recon Armor's straight-up Stealth +5?

 

Which brings up a question. AGI affects Stealth, but by how much? Because another alternative would be to do AGI +5 or something rather than 2/2 as above, and that might give about as much Stealth bonus in the end as a pure Stealth +5. Or would it? I don't know how the math works out. Does anyone else?

I personally agree with more variety in "class" style armor, giving bigger bonuses to stats than some currently do imo.

 

The only armor in the game that offers a hugely noticeable bonus I think is the B51b junk, and honestly they should all be really powerful, and the lighter/lower tier armor should provide other stat bonuses.

 

I'd like more +Speech and +Bartering armor xD

Some Modular Plate carriers and Multicam BDUs (seriously Multicam would rock face in the Fallout 3 world)

 

As for more fantasy leaning stuff I'd like to see a whole mess of G.I.Joe, Warhammer 40k, and Halo (please don't kill me) based items.

I'm all for new power armor designs but I would be much happier with new designs for other types of armor as like a few different looking armored vault suits and such, stuff that looks different than whats already there for more variaty

I personally would like to see more light weighted armor. As long as they all have a rugged look like the rest of the Fallout 3 armor, then I'll be satisfied. I would never download things that look shiny and new; to me that just doesn't fit in the fallout universe.
