So from the little ive seen it seems they have completely overhauled PA. Im so excited they actually turned PA into more of a vehicle/mount rather than it being treated like regular clothing.

So ive heard there will be an option to have it dropped off to your player, so im assuming that we can no longer keep PA in the inventory? I personally like this change. Im hoping it makes using PA more of a bigger decision, like 'do I want to use this resource?' I think its going to add a lot in terms of how people actually approach battles and prepare for them as well.

It also seemed as though they might actually need a power source too now.... thats beautiful IMO. So its not like we can just strap on our PA anytime things get a little tough and wear it as long as we want.

Im curious to hear some other peoples takes on this as well as ideas about what types of mods we will be able to add?

Where did you hear this? Sounds like speculation to me, among many of the other assumed things people got from a short, predetermined trailer. Who would drop it off? I've seen nothing to indicate we'll get PA drops or any kind of drops for that matter. Seems very out of character for the theme of the game

A vertibird could drop it, anyway yeah that is so far just pure speculation how it arrives, someone claimed Pete said in a Twitter you do carry it somehow and you deploy it, but I never found that Twitter.

I'm loving the Power Armor. Has a very "Ultimate Weapon" feel to it. Not stepping a foot into the Glowing Sea without it.

I'm assuming we can use it as long as we have the resources to keep it up and running. I'm curious as to what weapons we can use with it. Will it just be the minigun or can it be anything we have with us? Can I just go around and punch Deathclaws in the face with Robo Melee?

Folks watching quakecon noted that the Brotherhood guys that came to the players aid used rifles while in PAs, so it's not to far fetch to assume we can too and similar sized weapons, fist weapons and smaller weapons like a knife might be off limits tho.

You can mount power armor AND THEN get on a vertibird.

As for power armor being dropped off to you anywhere by vertibird, pure speculation.

I hope we can use as much as we like with no limit, after all it's powered by a microfusion cell (?).

Why don't you just enable god mode and add 1000 mini-nukes to your inventory while you're at it

Consider the power it has this time, it's gonna have a limit somehow, power would be a natural one to pick.

This lol

if it's too overpowered I just simply won't use it but I would like to see it limited, as I might feel more inclined to hop in sometimes. weird but idk

Honestly never used PA in 3/NV but [censored] if not that suit entering animation didn't make me a insta fan.

Same though there wasn't really a huge point in it anyway. If kill cam didn't show me in it from time to time I'd really not even notice it. Always prefered lighter armor that had more "perks" to using it. I'll definitly try the new PA but the jet pack animation seemed really weird in the demo. Seems like we'll see raiders in beat up PA which will be cool though

After slow-mo'ing through a video clip of someone tinkering with the power armor set up, I can confirm that your suit can be made up of components from several different suits, ranging from a T45 to a T60 model, and though it was a little hard to squint in that tightly, I think components from each different series has different affects on your different stats. So since there is a variety of stat bonus's I would assume there is going to be a variety of weapon classes to use. Strength bonus's don't do you much good while using a laser weapon after all.

I love it. I'm building my Charismatic/Intelligent SS around it. If the Sole Survivor is indeed an Anchorage Veteran I'm RPing him as a former Power Armor mechanic/crew chief. Mostly because that's what I did in the USAF (F-16 instead of Power Armor though, I wish PA were a real thing)

the military has something like it but its only the exoskeleton.....or is it inoskeleton?

https://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=p2W23ysgWKI this is just the begining

Your link is broken. If you're talking about the TALOS exoskeleton then yeah, I know. [censored] awesome.

I love the power armor. It′s so bad.

Will there be talking power armor though?

"Right turn in 3 steps."

"You have missed your turn, recalculating."

"Combat Visor is Ajar."

It is about something called the HULC. Here is the proper link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2W23ysgWKI

We saw from the trailer that the armor itself has a health indicator and that when a BoS member got hit with a rocket a piece of his armor fell off. I would speculate that the armor parts have limited life and that having to go back for repairs would be the limiting factor of Power Armor.

No need to add 1000 mini-nukes. One is enough as god mode grants infinite ammo as well. Lol

Actually op has a point in that speculation. If the power armor is treated as a vehicle and indeed does need "power" to be used. We won't simply be able to carry it in our inventory and wearing it around while exploring would be a nightmare as it'd just run out of power before you walked to where you wanted to use it. Most likely it'll be something we'll have to throw into our vertibird.. (whenever we get that.) and actually have it dropped off to us or at the very least land the vertibird close to where we want to use the power armor.

Makes me wonder what the likely hood will be of having to abandon power armor because you wore it until the power drained down.. I have an image of my character hoofing it back to the garage to grab needed fuel cells or whatever is used and then running back to the spot they left the power armor only to find it missing.

The armor doesn't appear to be a solid suit anymore but is a combination of a helmet, chest piece, a left and right arm, and a left and right leg. It also looks like these units can be mixed and matched between different series of armor since I've found at least one video that shows a T45 arm on the right hand side and a T51 arm on the left hand side.

Since the armor is modular I'd hazard a guess that each piece is going to have its own individual health value as well as the health value of the suit. This I get from looking at the armor setup screen in the video and I can see buttons to either "Modify" or "Repair" the highlighted selection.

I can't seem to get this thing to post the link to the video, but if your interested just go to:

YouTube and look up "Fallout 4 - No Nudity, Melee Rifles, No Random Critical Hits & More" by sajcon

then watch the video about 2:45 minutes in with your finger on the pause button.

"When possible, make a *legal* u-turn"

I hope the limiting factor isn't power. Doesn't the lore already establish that PA had centuries worth of battery strapped to the back?

Though if the limiting factor is hit points, that kind of takes away from the mystique too.

Can't wait to find out, regardless.
