Well, i was just wondering what people like to wear when traversing the Mojave wasteland.

NB. I would also like to ask if anyone knows of any great armour for a sniper/ infiltration build, that has a skin that blends well with the desert? Sorry It sounds picky but maybe I am... :wink_smile: :shakehead: :facepalm:

I wear the Recon armor, not too heavy, looks pretty good and it has +5 Sneak.

combat armor MK II reinforced.

just screams "dont mess with me" at everything... except cazadores and deathclaws. gotta use HP and AP on those nasties.

Vanilla game - wasteland wanderer hoodie or the black reinforced combat armor.

Otherwise, my own modded outfits, which are usually my fave clothing modded to have combat armor-ish DT, & occasionally different textures for lol's.

Didn't notice this before....imo there's not really a 'great' armor with a desert blending skin in the vanilla game. That is, nothing with even a halfway decent DT. The closest would probably be the NCR armors but that requires you to 'wear faction armor' which isn't always what you want to do.

Other than that...the dusters, but the Sheriff one has no DT and the other one you have to steal/pickpocket off/loot from corpse, I think. Or Grunt Armor if you don't mind the 1DT....

I prefer my Formal Wear.

Vera's outfit.

It turns into the most awesome tux, and is smexy on Cass.. Yeah, I went there.

Reinforced leather and Desperado cowboy hat.

Being all practical and stuff, II tend to stick with the Recon armor and the 1st Recon beret. Hey, they're both Recon gear, so it fits!

Veteran Ranger Combat Armor for combat.
Ranger Vest Outfit for sightseeing.

For my Female Sniper I like the Leather Armor with the Slave Scarf. My Male Merc I like the Merc Adventurer outfit.

My current one for my latest cowboy caravan trader Susie Springs, not a geat picture but only one I have atm.

Oufit: Merc trouble maker.
Hat: Pre war bonnet.
Glasses: Shades.

I just like the worn leather and washed denim look combined with the massive brim of the hat.
Plus ammo belts are bandolers holding single bullets or shells, and it has a knife sheath as well.

I wish the bonnet didn't look so much like it's painted onto the head like one of those plastic static-cling decals. It doesn't quite look right for some reason, to me. Otherwise I'd enjoy it more...it's so silly.

Despite the fact that simply defining one of the other textures to go onto the clothing meshes doesn't look quite proper since the texture covers everything (like the boots...), I still like this pair I did:

Something about it feels film-noir in an odd way. The color and the hats, I guess. Wish I had the patience to do some real clothes.

I snagged two...Cass is wearing one of them, and I'm considering RPPing the other onto Miss Weintraub as she would get more use out of a pair of "**** me" pumps. I wish I could get Cass to take off that hat, rattan cowboy hats clash with formal eveningwear.

I wear my Armored Vault 13 suit most of the time.....with jury rig it's easy to repair and surprisingly enough it still hangs well even at level 35.

Merc Adventurer outfit. It nails the wasteland merc/wanderer feel for me so whenever I find one I put it on. DT isn't an issue, just don't get shot.


Not getting shot hardly works out for me btw, my poor, poor flesh.

I prefer the Sheriff's Duster for several reasons, not the least of which is the boost to Guns and Charisma. I don't worry about repair, since I am on the PC and just respawn a new one when needed. (Since it not being repairable is a bug, I don't consider it cheating.)

Of course I can always substitute the Bounty Hunter's Duster, which is apparently repairable, but it doesn't have the pretty badge.

Since I don't play a mindless tank, I have never needed much in the way of armor. I just keep my companions loaded with water and sarsaparilla any myself with Stimpaks.

I'm wearing BOS T-51B power armor, 1st recon beret and sunglasses.

I really like that texture on the dress which is it if I may ask.

The clothes mods have made tend to be easier to retexture due to often not being one piece suits like vanilla assets.
Rather broken up with nice details like belts and qloves, which you can also retexture to break up block coloured areas much like on miniatures.
However I hate tampering with something others have worked hard on, except if.
I can get permission first to do so, and if the character I'm building it for needs to look exactly like I imagine it.

Having taken another look with fresh eyes, you're very right the bonnet does look too pasted on.
I think this may have to do with the texture, too clean too bright.
I may try when I download the geck some of the wasteland outfits textures to grim it up a bit.

Normally the pc's would not wear the bonnet tbh, however on this build it fit in my head as right for the look.
It was that or the desperado cowboy hat which looked good but made the character more cowboy than caravaneer.

I like the Bounty Hunter's duster. It has a small amount of DT (like 6 I think) but gives +1 to charisma and +5 to guns. The best part is that it only weighs 3 lbs, since I play HC it leaves me room for ammo and other supplies.

In FO3 it was the Ranger battle armor, but combat armor looks feels too bulky in NV for some reason.

Sierra madre reinforced helmet.
Assassin suit.

However I some times walk around wearing
Veras dress (awesome tux)
Tuxido hat (mortimers top hat)
(looks good with a dress cane or lucky)
I might rp a upper class guy, who hs companions carry everything, while he just talks/sneaks/picks locks.

Depends on character:

My Assassin

My Energy Weapons character

Viva Las Vegas!

And I only had to commit a bit of Regicide to get it to!

Male:Centurion.
Female:Ranger Casual.

But Vault Security is what I wear most of the time....

For my Unarmed/Explosives character, I'm currently rocking the Metal Armor with the Hockey Mask. Looks very intimidating. I think it's my favorite look so far.

I like that idea.... :toughninja:
