I've always liked the out of the box thinking in the fallout series especially when it comes to weapons. Someone already posted a thread about gun types. So what are your thoughts on Armor ? think out of the box, something you would create from scratch.

When it comes to creating armor from scratch, I don't think much can be suggested here in terms of material the armor is made of. From the top of my head: leather (maybe different kinds), metal, polymers, some combinations of aforementioned... and that's mostly it.

But armor modification, that's a different story. Starting from stat changes, like adding combat plates to increase protection, through making the armor more versatile, as in adding a tactical vest or maybe adding "protection from energy attacks", ending with purely cosmetic stuff: camo, etc. Gaaaaaaary!

I used tto take "junk" in large quantites and combine them with metal armor to create Metal Armor MkII.
Still if you have the facitlietes to do it, tou 'should' be able to make your own armor. (I'm not asying it should eb EASY, just plausible. Like converting gas engines to ethanlo, or wahtever it is they use noww.)
