Fallout 4 gameplay videos leaked, Bethesda starts taking them down

I like the idea of a Vehicleized Power armor. At the same time I feel the way it's implemented here leaves a lot to be desired with the stupid thing running out of power from you sprinting and such. Those weird elements come from a need to balance out the problem that come from them giving out the PA on the very first quest. If it was a super hard to acquire piece of equipment it would feel more rewarding, but now even Raiders have them and you can find a bunch of them all over the Wasteland. They did the same in Fo3 and back then they Band Aided the problem with a perk Requirement thatcan only be acquired by advancing the main quest. It seems they didn't learn from New Vegas, where Factionless Power armor was a special and hard thing to acquire by the end game not something to give the player along with his Vaultsuit.....

I Have been using it heavily because I am already bathing in caps and I have stolen a bunch of them so I have more than enough of those.

It seems it also depends on your level. Feels like Oblivion all over again ... oh, look thiefs with deadric armor, 25 min. ago they had glass armor ...

To get the "enclave" armor to spawn in the game you have to be around 25-28 levels, than you can wander in some ruins and find it. If you get to early there, you will only get the T45, T51 or T60.

I hate content that's based on your level. A lot. It kinda defeats the purpose of wandering around in hope of finding something special, if to much of the stuff is either randomized crap or stuff tied to your level. I hated it in Oblivion, I hated it in Fallout 3, I hated it in Skyrim. New Vegas did a much better job here. If balance is a problem, for fucks sake, make it DIFFICULT to get there or skill requiriements, if I specialice in hacking or lock picking, why should I not get rewarded once in a while? Have a couple of Deathclaws roaming the area - which would also explain why no one else looted the place before you!

I agree with you on the power armor Walpknut, i'm swimming in so many fusion cores it's not even funny. I ended up getting the magazine that gives you extended duration on the fusion cores too. What's up with the perk that throws +10 damage resistance at you, isn't that overpowered?
 
Question for those of you playing the game.

Is it true that essentially SPECIAL stats have no significance at all other than what Perks you can take?

e.g., let's say there are two characters. One has strength 3 and one has strength 10. They each wield identical tire irons with no mods. Without either one taking the Big Leagues perk, both will be doing the exact same amount of damage, correct?
 
The effects of SPECIAL are very inconsequential by themselves. Strength is the only one that has any active effect (It regulating you carry capacity) but for the most part taking mentats is literary worthless, same with upping charisma through drugs and I barely see any difference in VATS accuracy from increasing perception. They are little more than Gates for Perks now.
 
Hahah WOW a raider killed himself after he tried to throw a grenade that ricocheted off a metal platform and landed next to him. He killed himself and his buddy near him too. Killed a raider near her buddies and NOBODY seemed to notice her head explode.

What they really should have done is have the different models of power armor have different efficiency ratings, T45 is the lowest and loses energy quickly, whereas the X01 would have the highest efficiency and drain slowest, maybe even not at all. Protip: followers don't even need a fusion core to operate power armor if you order them in.

Also, what's this bullshit about a modernized T45 type being better than the T51?

Woah, woah, WOAH! What? T-45 is somehow better than the sexier T-51? Fucking heretical.

Well, you can upgrade power armors from version A to I believe F, with each variant having better resistances than the previous. so T-45F might very well be better than a T-60A or a T-51A. Does it make sense? I'm on the fence on this one. If T-60A was better than T-45F it would be a little bit odd to me, that a prototype of one armor would be better than the pinnacle of the previous model. Also, upgrading a suit of armor to the best version costs a truckload of resources, so it should be worth it. Also, it requires some high level perks, so it's not like you'll even get the best version of T-45 any time soon. Possibly even after you find yourself a T-51, dunno. I would say it was done mainly for aesthetic reasons. If someone prefers the rugged look of a T-45 or a T-60, but doesn't want to be seriously handicapped by not using a T-51, he can upgrade the inferior ones to still be "competitive". Not as good as an upgraded T-51, but still no slouch.

But I'm not sure if it even is the case, don't know the armor values of T-60 and T-51 yet.

owner of strategy guide, it seems to go like this in order of max upgrade strength; T-45F, T-51F,T-60F (dunno why, dammit Bethesda), and of course our dear APA, the X-01F reigns supreme.

So I was doing some BOS quests and then my TAB key stopped working.... So that's fun.... Had to hard quit it. Don't know if I'll continue today. The TAB key not working, now that's a fucking new glitch for me.

Relax, clean yourself from shit and take a break. That's what I do.
 
One of my friends on Steam who's pretty much NMA material is also losing interest real bad in the game, he struggles to find the motivation to play it and just longs for more Witcher and Arkham.
