So which one do you think is the purdiest, which one's the fugliest? Multiple choice has been enabled for the polls so you can just run through and mark the ones you like and dislike, design wise.

Personally I find Remnants Power Armor the best looking, followed closly by TB-45d and TB-51 they look quit similar but 51 is slightly better and mostly because nostalgia.

The worst propobly Midwestern, I love Fallout tactis but their power armor doesn't have that something.

Why does MwBoS armor look so, Enclavey?

That's actually a mystery they've confessed to with the only reasoning behind the design decision being "different BoS, different power armor."

Why it exists and where that power armor comes from haven't really been explained, mostly due to FO: Tactics being the last title made before FO was moved to Bethesda (no time to do so) and Bethesda tends to have a rather hands-off approach to canon until it's absolutely neccesary to define it.

Ah, I see. I hope it does get clarified one day.

I'm throwing in Tribal (Ashur's) PA as my vote for sweetest armor.

Should any of the color variations or splinter factions' armor be included?

Winterized t51 & Outcast armor..and not quite powered NCR salvaged armor

Unique armor sets like Ashur's and the NCR Scorched power armor I'm leaving out since those are singular unique pieces, but include all color variations you know of for an armor type.

I guess the purpose of this was just to kinda see which design people liked the most.

Remnant Tesla Armor for me. I love the crackling electricity, and the look of the armour itself is even more iconic than the original Brotherhood armour, IMO. One of my favourite moments in New Vegas was entering the Remnants Bunker and seeing all those suits of Enclave Armor lined up against the wall.

Why is it allowed to voted for more than one?

Worst Power Armor [in Fallout franchise] is the Vault-Tec Tesla armor: http://fallout.gamepedia.com/File:VaultTecTeslaArmor.png

Probably because Bethesda, more than likely, based part of the designs of the East Enclave Armor on the MWBOS tactics armor. If you're looking for an in-lore reason, the answer is "We don't know."

Personally my favorite armors are the Eastern Enclave power armors (Hellfire probably looks the best of those). I'm also fond of the MWBOS armor.

Not a big fan of the Remnants armor. Always looked kind of silly to me. Never did get why people like it so much.

Enclave Remnants armor is so hideous. The armor of the East Enclave looked better and was more intimidating. E-Rem armor just looks plain ugly and goofy looking.

I like the 45d and the Remnant's armor. Don't care for the MWBoS armor and I think the Hellfire armor makes butt-ugly look good in comparison. That stuff is hideous.

I like the [now called] Remnant armor... just not the version in New Vegas.

Best armor is a toss up for me, between the t51b and Adv MKII.

The question you should be asking is "why does Enclave armour in Fallout 3 look so much like the Midwestern Brotherhood armour?"

MWBoS were in Chicago long before the Enclave and the MWBoS wouldn't know of the Enclave since they left the core region long before the events of Fallout 2.

In the long run, I have a feeling the MWBoS armour will be made none canon. If we see the MWBoS again they might just have T-51B or T-45D armours, but hopefully not to many of them. One of the things I like about the MWBoS is that they wear many different types of armours, everything from no armour at all to power armour.

The MWBoS is the armour I like the most. Not to crazy about the Hellfire Armours.
