I'd like to see something along the lines of http://www.elfwood.com/art/k/e/keithth/scavenger.jpg and http://www.elfwood.com/art/k/e/keithth/slaver.jpg, that gives us the impression that even though there's Leather Armor, Metal Armor, Combat Armor, etc. people still took the time to make their own sets of armor, because they couldn't afford the others, or there wasn't enough of them around that they just made their own.

It would be friken amazing if u could mix and match clothes. Like belts, shoulder pads, bak packs, head bands, furs, and have layers of clothing, it would also be nice if clothes that are 200+ years old where less common in the game, it should be a new erea of clothes, or more home made type clothing, like clokes and hides type of clothing still with some prewar

purple robes from those masters fanatics from Fo1 and 2. could get them from a corpse or something

Some sort of robitic mechanical armor that when u had no weapon equiped u had a laser pistol attatched in the wrist

I want Desert Ranger camo jacket, I just made one for myself irl. It's get a cactus with a desert background patch with a Ranger patch under it. Join the Desert Ranger's people!!!!

T-48A United States Navy Power Armor it could allow the player to breath under water it could allow the player to swim faster or maybe have it's own propulsion system with 2 little propellers one on each leg and they would be attached behind the legs and maybe one on each arm. It could also svck in water freeze it and the armor would have a freeze ray gun attached on top of one of the shoulders on the armor and the player could freeze enemy's with the freeze ray and the player could also purify water with the power armor.

I do believe that would be cool but i think theres too much power armor and there needs to be more civilian clothing like SWAT and Riot armors.

Posted this else where, I want to see separate footwear for more customization options chucks for added speed and leaping or make steel plated boots for mine protection, would be cool to see advertisemants for shoes sandlot style

Bomb squad armor.
Hazmat suit. (An actual full suit, not just the darklight cowl!)
Trench coat. (Not the ranger suit! A regular trench coat.)

Last, a new form of advanced power armor. The next fallout, assuming its still set in the future, should have a new and an advanced/hybrid suit of power armor. It would be years and years past the last Fallouts and technology only ever advances upon itself. So why not have a new and better form of power armor? Perhaps call it T-52A Prototype.

Uh, don't know if you realize this, but technology ceased for a good while, and still isn't up to the standards it was in the pre-war era. When the bombs dropped, T-51b, was the pinnacle of Power Armor development. Afterwards, when the Enclave got situated, they still had the technology and knowledge of how to create better Power Armor. No other faction can produce Power Armor, not even the Brotherhood. And the NCR, by the way their Heavy Troopers are, don't have the knowledge that the Enclave and Brotherhood have, on working an actual operating suit with all the gizmos that go into it.

So basically, no Power Armor improvements, just what's left.

The t-45 should already have the ability to breath underwater, it has tanks on the back of it.

That's specious logic. It could be supplemental oxygen, the mask/apparatus could be adequate for one atmosphere of pressure but not suited for underwater pressure levels (like the difference between SCBAs like most firefighters wear and SCUBA systems designed for underwater functioning), etc. Also, according to the Fallout Wiki, many of the electronic components are exposed on the t-45, which would make underwater operation problematic.

I doesn't expressly state anywhere (that I've seen) that it won't work underwater and I've never tried walking into a body of water with the t-45 on, but to assume it would allow you to breathe underwater simply because it has tanks on the back is faulty logic.

I think we should get away from the fact of PO its way to abundant and over powered so to speack. We need to have more civilian clothes or armor thats homemade and all sorts. There should be like 2 or 3 pairs in the game.

All the Mentioned plus Epic Armor(Almost Invincible) Like the bat suit

I think Paladins should have different armor from knights in the Brotherhood. I mean if they both are gonna wear Power Armor they should have some sort of destinction like the Paladins would have a Power armor that would look like normal power armor mixed with scribe robes. Sort of like http://www.starwarshelmets.com/DecJanFeb06/Commander%20Bly.jpg, notice the robe-ish part at the bottom. (of couse it would be Fallout power armor not a clone trooper) I also agree with the people saying power should be a bigger deal, right now it's kind of like a "seen that, done that" kind of thing. Nothing that can turn a person into a tank like that should be viewed with boredom.

I don't think you should be able to take off a suit of power armor from people. As we saw in Operation Anchorage it takes an engineer to put it on and take it off, might as well make one true for the game.

Except in all the games you've just been able to put it on and take it off, so that bit from O:A seems kinda superfluous. It makes logical sense, but it would be awkward to just shoehorn it in there now.

I don't have any particular ideas as for as it comes to adding armors, but I would like to see the player be able to piece together outfits and suits of armor. Cobbling whatever you can together often seems more in the spirit of survival than finding stuff whole and intact all the time.

Chinese armors and clothing, we got some in Fallout 3 but it seems like only the US actually had real armor for its troops.

I'm not as familiar with canon as some, but it seems like the only real Chinese incursion was in Alaska around the time of O:A. Those in D.C. and elsewhere were more like spies and not fully outfitted, I'm guessing. I'm sure that China had good armor for its troops, just not the handful that were in the U.S. at the time of the war.

We should be able to have armor from all locks of life. We should have civilians with civilian cloathes not leather armor. Have armies their respective gear. And prewar stuff in abanded places. Plus how bout a normal trench coat that would be sick

More Raider Painspike variations with bulletproof vest add-ons.

Idk it sounds fun but ive liked to have more civilized arnor so to speak. I like to though have them for the sake of not shooting at the same damn thing over and over.

That would definitely effect clothing/armor stats though. I'am favor of a more complex armor/clothing system though, but just keep it something simple, like boots/shoes or gloves (non-combat gloves though).
So, armor mods? Sure, why not?

i agree that would be cool and plus a bullet proof jacket for when your wearing a duster/trenchcoat/shirts.

Elite Combat Armor

ECA was a premier and limited combat armor during the Sino-American War, it was issued to U.S.special forces during the early stages. The cost and the build time of ECA was high however and the U.S.government quickly decided to slow production significantly. They higher-ups figured if they were going to spend that amount of resources for a combat armor they would rather increase research and production of new power armor units. While still an effective armor ECA was re-issued to only the highest level and elite of U.S.Special Forces for the most sensitive and dangerous assignments.

ECA is made up of more advanced polymers and ceramics than that of the lesser forms of combat armor. Unlike the other combat armors that only provided primary protection to the chest or torso and having wrist and shin guards with combat weaving covering everything else, ECA was a full-body armor. Except for around the joints armor-plating covered the entire body not unlike a body-suit. Underneath the armor plating and providing protection for the gaps in the armor was a complex combat weave consisting of various forms of bullet-proof and chemical resistant materials. The combat weave also extended up the neck to just below the head.

The helmet for the ECA was a full helmet covering the entire head and a portion of the neck. Various optics could be mounted on the helmet as well. A variant of the helmet was also produced shortly before development was stalled that made the helmet a sealed environment for the wearer. The sealed helmet could have a simple re-breather attached or even hooked up to an oxygen tank the user would wear on their back.

ECA is slightly more form-fitting than other combat armors and certainly not near as bulky as reinforced combat armors. It only weighed about the same as a reinforced combat armor yet was more durable and offered more protection, this is of course due to the more advanced materials used. Like the other combat armors ECA could be colored or camouflaged depending on where the user was deployed for concealment.
