Favorite Armor type : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 3:42 pm

Basically what is your favorite armor type and why? You could also put your favorite specific armor as well.

I'll start, my favorite is light armor because I love the perks you can get, Light touch, travel light, and the one in lonesome road, I like that there light so that they don't take up as much space.

I don't like armor

i like the pre-war relaxed wear

Power Armour, nothing like scaring the daylights out of filthy wastelanders whilst clad in T51b brandishing a Gatling Laser.

I guess I'd say medium armor, more protection that light but not as bulky as heavy armor or power armor. As far as my favorite I switch up so much that its not even funny, but if I had to pick I'd probably say riot armor.

This. Except my favorite is probably NCR ranger combat armor.

i used to always wear medium/heavy but now i pretty much always wear light for that perk that lets you run a little faster. makes travelling by foot not such a chore

Medium. Most of my characters are stealth experts, and Medium has the recon armor.

This. Except replace "T51b" with "Remnant Power Armor".

Depending on character I will go medium or light.

Joshua Graham's armor or Desert Ranger armor and sometimes I have a character that just wears clothing like Daniel's outfit.

Medium armor. It offers plenty of protection without slowing or weighing you down much, and I prefer the looks of them on an aesthetic value as well. Elite Riot Gear is my favorite suit in the game, hands down.

Depends:

Walking around the Wasteland? Duster or other stylish clothing.

Expecting minor resistance? Need to mobile/agile in a fight? Light armor.

Expecting heavier Resistance? Combat armor or other Medium types.

Fight of a lifetime? Power armor.

Joshua Graham's armor. One of the strongest light armors in the game, and it goes very well with the compliance regulator. Though I wish I could wear the courier's duster over it.

Heavy Armour as in Power Armour back in the Original Fallouts. Back when it was worth having.

With the new Fallout's, it's medium.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:12 pm

Light armor.
Gotta have some challenge.

Yeah

How about Smitty Special, FEV "Curling" Grenades and Remnants PA; FEV grenades would be pretty darn badass, canonical or not.

I really think PA should make enemies flee significantly easier, freeside thugs should be running before they've even encountered me.

Smitty Special, Remnants Armour and Prototype FEV "Curling" Grenades ( instakill on all mutated matter

)

This. Except replace "T51b" with "Remnant Power Armor".

This. Except replace "Remnant Power Armor" with "Hellfire Power Armro".

Generally prefer light - more style than function. I'd rather my character be a citizen than a soldier. A very violent citizen, but a citizen nonetheless. Josh Graham's outfit is pretty cool, I'm fond of that.

I really like power armor, it's very well designed, but I can never wear it myself. It's really useful, but too cumbersome and unlikely - I can't see someone wandering the casinos in it! Applies to most heavy armour, actually.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:50 pm

It really depends on my character, but for the most part, I roleplay soldiers. My soldiers prefer solid, heavy armor. Combat Armor at the very least is just part of that.

So I would say I most like PA, as that's the endpoint of the whole thing.

I just love PA, playing an East Coast BoS outcast ATM.

I play a "Rambo" Character. So the medium build of armor is great for taking damage and is not too cumbersome. My favorite is veteran ranger armor.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:57 pm

Joe only uses light armour or clothing

My 'normal' characters normally use medium and 'flirt' with heavy.
My 'main' character likes the ranger armour.

For effect: Graham's Armor
For show: Assassin's Suit
Because it's awesome: Stealth Suit Mk II

What doesn't exist that should: a light armor variant of the Veteran Ranger Armor (especially as non faction armor)

That needed major repair!
