To Power Armor or NOT?

If you like the look of the power armor, here's a couple of mods that add in armor (not power armor, just armor) that uses the PA-like meshes.

Tho, it is a different mesh, so texture addons for regular PA won't work with them. And they won't have the functionality of regular PA.

Ooooo! Found a few mods that makes use of all those suits of PA that we have sitting around collecting dust 'n' rust.

 

Turns up to 3 suits of PA into followers. (Not to be confused with Companions). Tho, if they die, the frame is ruined.
Patriot power armor companion. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15448 Pre-Cursor to the AI PA Creation Crud mod.
Better, IMO.

Yeah, those are really cool, and very handy mods. I used to have one of those back when I played on the PS4. That one tho... most likely due to Sony limitations, you had to be really careful about where you were when you summoned it.

Sometimes, the armor would appear on uneven terrain. Tilted at an angle. And not accessible. That... oh man, that was more than just a bit aggravating.

 

Tho I will profess.... I had thought about a mod that had a high altitude ship similar to the prydwen that served as a PA workshop and hanger. Even have bays that you could assign to different armors, so that you could plug in a holotape, select which bay for the armor you wanted, then it would drop the armor to you from high orbit. :D

The only time I use power armor, is when you have to do it(First quest with Preston). There is just too much "broken" / they are really shitty implemented by Bethesda.

 

I really like the idea, but it already starts, when you can get killed by a blood bug while wearing a power armor. When a rolling pin can destroy your power armor, which said is resistant to explosives and bullets.

I'm also not a great fan of the armor/damage calculation.

I agree, as my OP stated:

 

 

Case in point:

In the base game, NO PA MODS - even a cue stick can damage PA. Seriously? Take a plate of steel and give it a smack down with a cue stick. The Plate of Steel will indeed win!

I understand that Beth wanted to make the game a " challenge " .... but I was amazed that, of all things, a Cue Stick could not just damage the PA, but also the player inside. I also agree w/you on the bugs. Seriously, Blood Bug and PA, same as a cue stick.

Haven't read through all the posts but a big issue with the power armor for me is that you can't use hand to hand combat. Especially a power fist would fit to the armor

Say WHAT??? That's just idiotic. I am thinkin' backhanding some raider while in power armor would HURT! And beth left that out????
