I started playing as soon as it was released, but I still haven’t decided if its power armor changes are good or bad. After improved on many of the issues I had with, I had been eagerly anticipating ’s release back in 2015. I hoped that, like, the game would continue to build on the series’ successes and introduce interesting new elements to the game. When it came out, I wouldn’t say I was terribly disappointed with, but there were certainly some elements I wasn’t too sure about.
Aside from having to hear characters say my name so many times that it started to get flashbacks, I was a little taken aback by the game’s new power armor system. I think Bethesda deserves a lot of credit for how exciting it was to put on power armor in for the first time and seeing all the changes, but as time went on, I started to sour a bit on it. As helpful as it was, it sometimes felt like a burden and took me out of the story. To this day, I’m still torn.
Since the initial game, the way power armor works has changed several times. Originally called powered armor,the first game’s version of power armor was some of the game’s best gear. It can only be acquired later in the game by joining the Brotherhood of Steel, or by fighting your way into their base and fixing up an old set left there. Both were difficult tasks, meaning, although powered armor was very effective, it also wasn’t overpowered because it wasn’t easy to get.
Fallout 4's radio isn't the best in the franchise because it doesn't hit the spot that New Vegas did so well, but Bethesda should learn from it.
, and subsequently, changed this a bit by requiring players to get the Power Armor Training perk before they could effectively wear power armor. Although this meant jumping through some hoops to put it on, this also meant that power armor was made available earlier in each game than it had been in the original. This allowed players to get more use out of their power armor, while still making it feel somewhat earned.
