OWB: How to fix the STEALTH SUIT

Post » Fri Aug 19, 2011 7:20 am

How to fix the armor:
Add two or more versions of the armor to the game.

Add holotapes for each version (like the sonic emmiter) that you need to find to unlock additional abilities, or award them after doing the challenges.

Allow switching between armors by clicking on the stealth suit picture in the Sink.

Version 1: Low DT (2), low weight, gives bonus to agility and percepcion, +20% sneak speed, light armor (may even increase stealth boy duration like the Chinese suit), full body armor (helmet included)

Version 2: High DT, high weight, bonus to sneak, agility, perception, strength, +20% sneak speed, medium armor, increases stealth boy duration, full body armor (helmet included), bonus to sneak skill

Every other variation would be between those two versions, can mix and match several other abilities into the mix that are not mentioned here.

Each version could be created with the on board computer online(annoying voice + med dispensing) or offline (no voice or meds).

OPTIONAL: After doing the quest and creating the armor additional armors could be created (bought) at the sink, so that you could give one to your follower

JUSTIFICATION: You don't need armor when properly sneaking, so the low armor version would give you the best possible stealth benefits but you would go down easy if a firefight ensures.
The Medium Armor version would be for the players that like to sneak sometimes but also need a good defense when it goes terribly wrong.

You lost me around midway when you expected the heavier version to be just as stealthy as the lighter version. IMO if you want that, the low weight should be low DT, high sneak bonus' where as V2 should NOT have an agility bonus if it's heavier, and barely any stealth bonus.

The specs are up for debate, its a forum after all :) Just think the devs could re-use the sonic emmiter code and implement it on the stealth suit.

I thought the specs of the medium armor should have all inherent bonuses because then the light armor would be superior to the medium one because of the bonus light armor perks.
Take not that the medium armor also gives a bonus to strength, which is not present on the light version. Both have pros and cons, and the weight and DR are good stats balancers - the low DT can scare a lot of non-stealthy people from using the armor while the weight might be a blessing to the stealthy Curiers out there that like to take (and steal) everything that they can get their dirty hands on ;)
