>Because of gameplay reasons, you can't use the Power Armor forever and has a very limited time of use, and Fusion Core's are now treated as ammunition
Honestly who thought this was a good idea? It would have been perfectly fine if you could only get the Power Armor later in the game, but instead, they drastically retcon something and blow their load immediately. Getting the Power Armor is incredibly underwhelming, and frankly, I haven't used it since getting it because I don't feel like wasting Fusion Core's. The idea is that you bring it along when you know you're going to get into a difficult fight, but because of the randomness, you won't know when to bring it along.

In this games defence, Fallout 3 and NV handled the Power armor wrong. The armor was designed to run on Fusion energy, and the other Fallouts ran it limitless.
But yeah, Ive used it in one mission since getting it. I assume Ill use it more when I can make Fusion cores last longer.

From a Fluff Standpoint, I can understand why Power Armor is the way it is in FO4. It wasn't meant to be your every-day armor, it was meant for oh-shit situations. Like, "Yeah, massive offensive on this enemy flank. Send in some Power Suits" or "VIP on the move. Let's toss a couple Power Armors in the convoy for heavy support." And with Fusion Cores being so much less powerful/full in comparison to 200 years ago, their reduced lifetime is understandable to a degree. T-60's with fresh, full-power Fusion Cores that could be swapped out live in the field by other soldiers in other Power Armors is fine, even.
However, from a gaming standpoint, I feel that giving players a Super Suit that:
A: Still isn't too much more super than normal;
B: Has a very restrictive time limit that forces players to prioritize escape and get anxious in battles not over living, but "wasting a Fusion Core"
C: Requires rare items to work for a limited time even
D: Adds basically nothing to the game
Is just not fun at all.
While the old FOs were technically incorrect by Fluff, I feel that their versions of Power Armor were more fun, friendly, and better overall.
I just used the console and gave myself a trillion fusion cores, so I can actually use it. I like the way they implemented it to be honest.
it's a fun way to spend time until the mods and expansions come out.
How was power armor powered in every other game?
>>316443260
Nah. You get handed fusion cores later on, looting 4-5 in random containers.
>>316444042
nigga wut?
>>316444243
No fusion cores in all other games.
>>316442279
The description of Power Armor in Fallout 1 describing the Fusion Cores being able to power it for hundreds of years, fuck of bethdrone.
>>316443260
I have 8 fusion cores on my lvl 15 character...
>>316444352
I guess the fusion cores were just permanently built in.
>>316444042
Fallout 1 and 2, fusion core/packs that were built in and basically lasted forever lore-wise
Fallout 3 and NV they were no different from normal armor pieces you equip like leather or metal armor, and just had really good stats.
FO4 actually made you feel strong in it, but unless you go INT for the super long lasting fusion cores it won't be worth it. Also you not only cannot repair the frames on the field, you cannot repair the armor on the field. So its really shit because if you get fucked up and don't just reload, you need to drag that shit back.
Did all you guys beat the deathclaw in the beginning when you first get the armour?
Mine's stuck in a hole and I don't know if I should kill him or not.
>changing how ammo works in mass effect
>now this
fuck off
>>316444695
sounds like u got a new deathclaw pet bro
You can take the intelligence perk that makes cores last longer, and it feels like higher tier power armor is more efficient. One core lasted like 2+ hours of playtime in my T-60 and a core is only like 400 caps. I'm lvl 22 and I have 16 cores. Not playing on survival or whatever though.
>>316444762
>now
The biggest change happened 7 years ago with Fallout 3 m8, where Power Armor is actually just really good armor that is powered by your wildest imagination.
How do you guys honestly have trouble finding fusion cores?
Im level 16 with 21 cores, 3 spent, and I don't even have the perk that supposedly makes you find more.
Military green containers regularly contain 4 of them for some reason.
Hard difficulty.

Guys, I need some advice. I have a Lenovo Y50 with GTX860m. I installed Fallout 4 yesterday, but the game was crashing on startup. I rollbacked the driver to the previous one, but now the game is lagging immensely. One would think that after I'd been able to run Skyrim at Ultra, and GTA 5 and Witcher 3 in high (or at least med), I'd be able to play FO4 at least at Low.
Do you have any idea why is that?
>>316446252

>>316442154
>complaining about power armour being more important
>complaining about limited fusion cores when i have 26 cores plus the perk that makes them last twice as long
I know Fallout 4's approach to Power Armor makes a lot more sense and fits the universe way better, but it's so much less cool and fun than 3 and NV. I'd much rather just wear it like other armor and clothes instead of having to use it like a fairly limited use vehicle suit that needs to be repaired piece by piece and runs on battery packs.
>Complaining that power armor is actually powered now
If the power armour in fo4 has weight, then it's just complete trash.

I had 10 fusion cores in the first 5-6 hours of gameplay
>>316445524
Hard here as well, and I have 27 fusion cores. Probably have blown through 3 or so. Also have 2 suits and enough parts for a 3rd. 13 hours in. Do people even pay attention to things?
Not to mention Trashcan Carla sells them from time to time.
Why do power suits suddenly require a fusion core? Are they different suits then the ones in previous fallout games?

>>316443070
Fusion energy was supposed to last thousands of years, though. It didn't need to constantly be replaced
how fast do fusion cores run out? I have 20 of them now and I'm afraid to use them. Will I be able to use the power armor for a good amount of time or will I burn through the cores very quickly?
>>316447752
just don't sprint or melee too much. Cores last quite awhile if you're walking. By the time you burn through those 20, you'll have 20+ more. People who burn through them try to sprint in the armor like idiots.
Playing on survival I think it has it's uses. I went up against the raider camp right outside of that camp with professor goodfeels at like level 11 because i used a single fusion core to go toe to toe with their power armor wielder.
I then fought the legendary raider shooting as fast as I could pull the trigger with my hairpin 10mm while in psychojet matrix mode. I had to though because his health was rising faster than I could damage him. It was a fucking badass fight.
Managed to get a decent screenshot too.
>>316447437
>Mfw you can just buy fusion cores from most traders
>>316442154
It is a good idea tho. The power cores are everywhere you look at low levels and having the armor itself isn't the reward, modifying it and later on adding all the special features to each part is a continuing process of endgame gear. I'm lvl 20 so far and I've rarely needed it, only if a boss fight is coming up or I find a monster that is too tough to beat I use it. Its a nice feeling having a big suit of armor back at base that if shit gets too hairy I can just bail and come back to wreck shit.
>>316447638
They always required a fusion core, but when FO3 released, Bethesda went lazy with the lore and just made power armor like every other armor.
It's better than NV or FO3 where you just throw it on. To me it doesn't feel very limiting, you can go pretty long on a single fusion core and they're really not that rare. I would've preferred they required you to get a perk or do some sort of mission for power armor training since it is unrealistic that you can just throw the suit on and you're good to go, though. Besides that, the frames themselves are pretty common, I just hit level 20 and I've got the one you get at the start and two more just lying around, in addition to the armor they have. The fusion core requirement means you can't just use it all the time, which would be pretty fucking gay.
And you can customize it with all sorts of neat shit so that's cool too, I'm looking forward to an unarmed route with the upgraded bracers.
Not to defend shitty game design but I don't suppose modders might fix that? I have no intents to buy or play until a GOTY Edition comes out like with every other Beth vidya

Don't act like power armor wasn't always retarded in execution since the first games.

>dress up like a generic enemy soldier for the entire endgame (or however much game is left after you potentially decide to get it like 15 minutes into Fallout 2), no real options or ways to make other gear effective
I wish there were at least different types of power armor that were good at different things.
The problem with power armor is not being able to fix it on the field, not that it takes fusion cores that seem to last as long as AA batteries
I am flooded with fusion cores, but you cannot repair it on the field.
>>316447539
The problem is not that they are hard to get, it's that it goes against the established canon
>>316448407

>>316448407
'Gameplay canon' isn't real canon anyone has to adhere to. They can simulate hunger if they want to even if it wasn't done before.
So how the fuck do you transport power armor? Are you actually supposed to wait til you need it, teleport to settlement, grab armor, telephoto back to quest, use it, telephoto back to settlement and drop it off, and then telephoto back to the quest?
It can't be that retarded
The fact that they changed the gameplay mechanics of power armor is a great idea. In 3 and NV there's nothing that differentiates it from any other armor in the game, it just has better stats and a unique skin.
The idea that you need to constantly fuel and repair power armor and that it's more of a vehicle than something you'd wear all day long is actually a great idea. That was something that always bothered me about 3 and NV, once you got power armor you wore it everywhere and it just felt kind of stupid. The modification system is also awesome as well, on the whole I think the way power armor has been handled gameplay wise is very solid.
But yeah putting it right at the start of the game, Bethesda completely shit the bed.
The other problem besides the the fact that you get it early on is the fact that it requires no training to use. That was one of the defining elements of power armor lore that you needed to be trained in how to pilot it. That almost irritates me more than being given it at the start.
Also I wore it during the entire BoS quest line up to and including when they gave me my own suit and no one mentioned anything once. And yet I've had city guards and pretty much every companion make a remark about it at some point or another. The lore / writing / story side of it has been handled so lazily that it makes me want to hate it despite the gameplay side being so well done.
>>316449192
Could be explained if you're playing the husband in that he used to be a military dudeso he knows how to use power armor, probably.
>>316444459
cant you tell your companion to use it and teleport back to base urself?
>>316449192
I figured they'd introduced it early so all the normies could rave about it, since it was unlikely in the previous games they'd stick around long enough to ever get it

>perk or do some sort of mission for power armor training since it is unrealistic that you can just throw the suit on and you're good to go, though.
Well, maybe for the woman. But the Male MC served in the military.
I way prefer it this way, this is one of the few things I was really excited about when they first showed gameplay. I don't like how in the other games, you wear what you want up until a certain point, then you might as well just wear one of the two or three power armor choices because it's just so much better than everything else and there's no reason not to. This way lets me wear cool clothes, and use power armor in a way that makes sense.
Of all the complaints, I don't agree with this one at all.

I agree this is a shit change but I'm also aware this is probably the easiest thing wrong with the game to fix, there will be a mod to make it have unlimited fuel in a week tops. I don't even know why you guys play this shit on release when it always takes a couple months to fix all of Bethesda's horrible ideas.
I'm a stealth build so only really used it in the forced segment, the only thing that intrigues me is the modding of armor since you can actually give it a stealth boy effect when sneaking which sounds like it'd be awesome but I'm assuming it'll blow through power like nothing else.
I feel like you actually have to build purely for the power armors to make them even halfway decent compared to other builds, simply because of the fusion core limitation.

Is power armor handled better lore wise in this game in the sense that you have to actually get in it like some sort of walking tank? I've heard that it breaks the lore that the armor needs fusion cores to run(which I why I'll probably just download the mod to make them run forever) but was getting in power armor like a vehicle closer to the lore than just putting power armor on like a suit?
>>316443729
>While the old FOs were technically incorrect by Fluff
No. The fluff was that the nuclear materials in them provided enough power to last centuries.
I dont even like using the power armor. It kills the whole post apocalyptic wasteland scavenger feel for me when I'm prancing around in a giant state of the art mech. Also they look retarded. They either need to be taller or less bulky. Looks like I am danny devito on steroids or some shit.

The arguement was that the suit doesn't make you much more powerful or "super." However, wearing the suit allows you to take the Deathclaw on directly. You can't take on the Deathclaw directly without the power armor. You have to use cover/higher ground.
Therefore, the suit DOES make you super. That was the point.

You gotta play their missions and wait until the zeppelin comes.

>use power armour

Well gee, what a fucking tough choice. Sprinting fucking drinks fuel, if you just don't sprint you build up a stock-pile.
I'm 10 hours in of pretty common power armour usage and I've got 4 spare fusion cores.

Just don't build radio beacons or leave any fusion cores in power armors cause your "friends" will walk away with them.

The zeppelin is here. I talked to the airship captain. He told me I was a Knight and I have my own armor now. No pointers in game, been all over airship and airport twice.

ps4 has better performance than on the xbone hilariously enough. and as far as I can tell the save bloat has been fixed. Save files are still way too big (10MB) but they're not getting any bigger.
The fusion core thing pisses me the fuck off because power armor canonically has an internal nuclear power source that's supposed to last an upwards of thousands of years. They didn't even try to explain it away, it's just a downright retcon for the sake of giving shallow balance to a game that's easily broken by one lucky weapon find.
>>316444459

are you sure you're smoking right? I have like 30 of them and Im always in it

Luck is only the most powerful if you manage your criticals well. You cant just charge into strong encounters like a moron.
>>316456683
The cores are all 200 years old you fucking sandwich.
It doesn't matter anyway, we all agree it's a silly system, but it stops people using the power armor 100% of the time; and I enjoy that some bandits also use them.
>>316442154

Please, I love Fallout 4 a lot, but even piper knows how to use power armor.
Stop lying.
what other guilds/factions can you join?
all i see here is people talking about the brotherhood of steel
>>316456883
Do these cores go dry without being used, then? It doesnt matter if they power something or just sit in a warehouse, they have the same life?
Then how come the cores I find two months into the game last the same amount as cores found at the start of the game?
>>316451167
Armor just shows up depending on level, 30+ you will start finding slme X01 armors, at level 12 I got 3 different power suits all with t45 b
>>316456935
Even the Jet junkie whore can steal and use your power armor.
See, the game could have been much better if they didnt literally give you a suit of t45 ten minutes in, imagine going after raiders in power armour, having to sneak to get the power armor frame itself by pickpocketing the fusion core risking getting a mini nuke to the face, collecting the salvaged pieces of armor little by little, NOW you feel badass and satisfied having succeeded in getting the most important piece of equipment in the game.
Instead we get the most horrible piece of writing where some guy asks you to take an incredible piece of equipment after meeting you for literally less than a minute when he could have done the same.
Now you have no reason to collect raider power armor and have the most important equipment in the fallout universe (other than the GECK) 10 minutes in.
I swear I could not make this shit worse even if I tried.
>>316456534
You should have received a mission after that one where you meet the crew. You'll meet an amputee bitch in naked power armor. Ask her about getting your own power armor and then you should be able to get it where that other anon said it should be.
>>316457020

That doesnt explain random NPCs jacking my power armor when they get attacked by a rat.
Granny entering it to kill a cockroach and then refusing to get out and give it back isnt by design.
So was it on the roof for 200 years

They're the only faction that matters.

Who? Settlers or power armors?
>>316455350
>>316456683
Every core you find in the wasteland has already been in use.
It's not like you're receiving fresh off the factory floor cores. No one is manufacturing them, except maybe the Brotherhood.
>>316442154
I've been using the power armor since I got it, finding fusion cores is easy as shit and they last for fucking ever.
>>316454460
>iconic equipment
I bet FO3 was your first Fallout huh.
>>316457126
To be fair every raider camp got a power armor or two anyway. It's common trash.
>>316457026
1) No, it probably doesn't matter because it's nuclear power, the batteries will naturally decay. But as I said, in a non-realistic/silly manner to stop people just using the armour nonstop.
2) you are a fucking moron
>>316457126
>316456935
There was a loaded minigun on the roof for 200 years, despite the city being overrun with looters and everybody taking what they can find.
Fuck it, the computers work in a blown up village. FUCK IT, there is still good soda in the fridges, despite professional looters dying of radiation poisoning from having to drink bad mud water.
>>316456819
When will Bethesda finally realize that level scaling, whether it's enemies, loot, or just about anything, is beyond retarded in games of this style?
>>316457097
There literally are factions though and you gain influence and can get locked out of certain factions.
I've encountered Railroad, Institute, Diamond City, BoS, Minutemen, Crazy Atom Gang so far
>>316446252
>To unlock frame rate open Fallout4Pref.ini (located at C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\). Note making a backup isn't neccessary as if you simply delete Fallout4Pref.ini the game will auto generate new one next time it is opened.

I don't even.
>>316456260
Combat is better.
I don't care what anyone says, the animations are a pretty good improvement over FO3 and Skyrim. There are MUCH better games, and there are times it's cringy, but overall, it's an improvement, therefore a step in the right direction.
Junk has use now, and I love it. I actually want to explore and find junk so I can make my Mods and Settlements. The settlement system has its issues, mostly with things connecting but I'm getting enjoyment out of it. Especially once I got Local Leader, and can connect all the Settlements together, and use all my stores of shit. Made upgrading the outlining settlements much more convenient.
The modding system. I like it for the most part. Better than Skyrim's system, because you still need to find the weapons you want, and just can't craft the best weapon. I also like how you can pull mods you can't make yet off weapons you find, and apply them to yours. I often ignore most weapons, but if it's an upgraded one I'll grab it.
I like the weapon variety much more this time around.
After more and more time with FO4, I think I'm liking the Perk System in place of the Skill System. I mentioned combat is much better this time around, and I think it's because they removed the skills associated with the weapons in question. There's still character progression, as you need to have certain stats and levels to get the perks, but things aren't decided so much on skill checks. An RPG can be an RPG without skill checks.
I like the new Power Armor. There are some bad ass upgrades you can make to it, like having a Jet Pack or built in Stealth Boy system. They give you the Power Armor and Minigun early because these were two things that were known to be end game equipment in previous Fallout games, but because of the new modding system and Legendary loot, they aren't even close to it now. It's to showcase how things you thought were powerful in the previous games are not necessarily so now.
>>316442154
Its a great idea, you get the shitty parts first and it makes sense that POWER armor needs POWER. My only complaint is the cores dont last long enough and drain quickly when sprinting.
>>316457313
200 years of radiation lowered average iq to somewhere between 1 and 10.
>found power armor at the start mission
>did enough quests with preston to start building sanctuary
>put the power armor the garage rack and never used it again
>Lets give every raider unlimited amounts of Molotovs and ability to throw them miles away with 100% accuracy
>>316448272
>I wish there were at least different types of power armor that were good at different things.
That's what the new modding system is for. Power Armor can fit different roles based on how you customize them.
>>316443729
>A: Still isn't too much more super than normal
No, it's pretty super. I didn't notice it my self at first but power armor seriously saves ass; I can't tell you how many mines I've walked over while not paying attention or other explosives that would've killed me had I not been wearing the armor; or sentry bots I ran into.
Honestly, fusion cores stop being a problem about 8hours in, especially if you got 50% longer fusion core buff. Remember, kids. Take out your fusion cores that are <5% to sell and or keep for potential quests.
>>316456976

wot m8
can't you just add a hundred of them to your inventory with the console?
if you don't do preston's quest until the brotherhood of steel invasion the Brotherhood sends like 3 soldiers to help you retake the town.
i thought that was kinda cool
>>316448584
You can buy them. They drop from Robots. You can cheat them in with the console.
>>316454867
So sticking another power core in it should make it run for another few hundred years
Fallout 4 is the worst fucking console-ported fps game with some rpg-elements I've played.

>>316457554
The power cores aren't fresh. They've been powering generators are shit for 200 years.

You can find them in random loot containers too.
I found 4 in a single safe and 2 in another.

you suck
why cant you open up car trunks and search them, or better yet take the nuke that powers the cars and make your own mini nukes
if we cant holster weapons on our backs then give us backpacks
why in the fuck can we not craft ammo?
this fucking game needs a ck and now.
>>316457392
>Combat is better.
Gunplay is still atrocious, VATS gutted and basically useless, stats have zero effect on your performance whatsoever, you can kill raider with a sniper rifle from mile away with 1 in perception and agility.
>I actually want to explore and find junk so I can make my Mods and Settlements
Whooray for the busywork of looting every fucking thing you find and fast traveling back to your stupid settlement where you can't even tell people to fuck off or somehow make some areas restricted to them. You might as well use console and give yourself 1000 of every relevant resource.

Actually, the trick is just not springing everywhere like a huge faggot.
Sprinting drains them in like 10 minutes and only saves you about 15-25% travel time depending on AP

Because they're explosives.
>or better yet take the nuke that powers the cars and make your own mini nukes
uwotm8; I don't think you understand just how complex nuclear fission is. and I very much doubt anyone in the fallout universe could even begin to build an actual nuke rather than use the few that are already around.
Ammo crafting devalues perks so we had to remove it ;)
