The existence of the T-60 would make more sense if it was an upgraded version of the T-45 to deal with it´s energy consumption problems has described in the backstory.
 
There are many ways that let the T-60 make sense. Sadly, Bethesda chose none of them.
 
Fallout 5: You are wearing Power Armor from the beginning, and as soon as you exit the vault some guy hands you a Gatling Laser and salutes you as the new leader of the Brotherhood, the Enclave, Caesar's Legion, and the NCR all at the same time. Then you proceed to shoot an army of deathclaws rushing at you. Afterwards, some girl you've never met says something to you, you press "B" on the controller, and you're suddenly married. The end.

Also the power armor has a jet pack.

Goddamnit, spoiler tags. Shit man.

Since we are here, though, you forgot the gatling mini nuke. Can't forget to include the stuff needed for immersion.
 
Someone mentioned Samyoul's "Elder Scrolls: Dumbing Down" video. I must object to this. I recommend watching SorcerorDave's response to that video and his viewpoint on what other ES fans have deemed to be the "dirty casuals." It's well thought out and not exactly what I'd refer to as typical Bethesdrone pleas.

Already seen it. Doesn't change my opinion considering Fallout 4 is even worse than Skyrim. He does make some good points though and I agree with some of them. Both are good videos.
 
The butthurt in this thread is strong.

What butthurt? I think it's funny, frankly. My post was certainly only written as a 'funny'. I have to seriously ask, what are your thoughts on the game? What did you like, and why?

I have some criticisms of the game. I also think it's fun, while acknowledging that it fails as a roleplaying game, but is an EXCELLENT shooter/action game.

In case you missed it, in another thread that guy you're replying to admitted he is from the Bethesda forums and only comes here to troll.

Well for starts to stay on topic yes the way power armor is more like a human shaped vehicle instead ofthe heaviest armor that really isnt worth wearing is a big improvement. l also love how you have to collect cores to keep em powered instead of just being able to indefinitely.

Enemies actually behave how they should. I love the fact that scorpions and molerats actually dig under the ground to avoid dangerand cause ambushes and I love that dogs can tackle people over and hold their limbs. and how deathclaws can grab a player.

I personally love the new crafting system. It does a good job at showing how bare bones and pointles. the simple repair system was. The town stuff is a good start but needs fixing.

I personally like the perk system but theres no point trying to convince idiots that are hell bent on hating; and your right Nussbaum the reason I'm here is because some immature simpletons thought it would be cute to join Bethesdas forum for the sole purpose of hating. Dont do something yourself then cry when someone decides to do it back.

Cores are so easy to come by it becomes a non issue, most of the big security bots drop 2 with scrounger and with the right perk you can double the life of a fusion core, with a magazine you get another 10%. Cores can be bought in DC and you can basically print caps by setting up some industrial purifiers in sanctuary.
At one point on my first character I went everywhere in power armor and used it for everything, only exiting for terminals that forced me to exit it in order to use them. I had over 50 fusion cores and a single core lasted for quite some time.

Its ridiculous how fast they can tunnel, especially the scorpions. How can something so large tunnel so fast yet leave no visible trail or damage the ground as it moves? Its neat, but annoying as they often pop in and out because they get confused trying to path find to me.

Removing the repair system instead of improving and tweaking it just takes another survival challenge out of the game.
 
The problem with PA in this game is not that you get it early. The real problem is that it's ridiculously easy to get the T-60 suit too early, and basically skip the T-51 "tier" of PA pieces.
 
Cute nitpicking just for the sake of nitpicking. its no wonder the Bethforum didnt take you serious.


In the exact same vein as power cores repairing wad absolutely useless because you only needed duplicate itens of already extremely common items. In the 600 hours of playing FO3 (the game that introduced the mechanic in the first place) I had weapons and armor break a grand total of 4 times. Hell its easier to have items break in Dark Souls.

I'm not sure if you are replying to me, as I don't het the reference to "Nussbaum", it sounds like it's supposed to be insulting, but I'm honestly unsure. You make a valid point about being offtopic, perhaps I should have simply PM'd you, *shrug*. I would also add that any moral highground you think you hold with "let's stay on topic, is immediately ruined by the comment on the thread being full of butt hurt....

The cores are insanely easy to come by, and, with even moderate level of investment, you can prolong it's use pretty much indefinitely.

As for the feel of the power armor, it does feel much better, though I have tweaked that gameplay as well.

As for your other comments, I agree they are improved. The FPS aspects are endlessly better, bar none.

But, in what way do you feel the game is a good cRPG? I think its a terrible rpg. And will happily give detailed reasons for my viewpoints.

Also....are you seriously suggesting you are here because somebody, apparently claiming to be from here, is 'trolling' Bethesda's website? Tell the admins, that's against the ToS, which state that 'drama crapping' is an actionable offense. The next point I would like to make, is you are giving people incentive to go to your forum, that you are purportedly defending from attack, and attack. Otherwise, I would never even have considered the idea, till your name has been popping up everywhere attached to troll posts :/

Thirdly, being a troll is also against th ToS, and you have both admitted to being here for no other purpose then being a troll, and, oh my gawd, creating cross forum drama. Which you are doing to, apparently, stop, cross forum drama? Ive never drowned less by adding more water....
 
Why do Beth fanboys always talk about "butthurt" when people don't like Bethesda games? Are they equating Bethesda games to getting ass fucked against your will? Are people who like them then "Butt pleased"?

Kind of makes their religious adoration of the company get some rather creepy undertones....
 
Severite I wasent talking to you I was talking to Irwine John Finster. Same mannerisms and same probably fake claim at liking 3.

To answer your question I simply dont care if a gameis a "good rpg" or any other "good ___" because I believe such distinctions are simply copouts to go ahead and admit a product is in fact good but then one last dig in.

"But it's not a good ___..."


It's completely phony.
 
Walpknut its too bad for your post I have no "religious adoration" for Bethesda. I'm justnot in the habit of sharing criticisms with pathetic people who are going to do nothing but wallow in the negativity. You on the other hand clearly have an unhealthy obssession with hating anything Bethesda, for no other reason than the fact that they bought a series the original company was too incompetent to keep.
