How It Feels to Enter Power Armor

I don't know about you, but I always feel pretty cool getting into a giant vehicular suit of armor.

Models come from Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas.

Powerful suits meant to give the wearer control over the heaviest of ordnances. No one would blame you for doing a superhero pose or two whilst you were inside one

[presofcamelot]

Fallout3/Vegas: puts on power armor: "huh cool"
Fallout4: puts in Power armor: *"I will feel the pain of 1000 deaths before I yield"*

I just realized in the other fallout games you need to be given training to use power armor, but in 4 you're a veteran so you already have that training

One of the few things in Fo4 I prefer over the previous games is the power armor. I love that it feels like you're in a man-sized tank.

My dude's stepping into power armor and dripping with STYLE. hell yes

Enclave power armor with NCR Ranger armor underneath. This is the definition of *style.*

Edit: to those who say it isn't Enclave power armor...it very literally is. The Advanced Power Armor the Enclave uses in Fallout 2, the first game they appeared in, is slightly modified X-01 power armor (called directly by Arch Dornan the "Mark II advanced combat armor, " which would make it the X-02, at least to me). You can just look at the armor in Fallout 2 alongside the X-01 and see that they're nearly identical. All later Enclave power armor types were based off the X-01 design.
An excerpt from a loading screen in Fallout 4: "The X-01 series of Power Armor was specially engineered and employed by remnants of the U.S. military after the Great War, and offers increased protection over the older, pre-war models."

When everyone annoys you, but you have an ace up your sleeve.

Also the animation is very fluid and fits a lot with the bits.

I just realized something. In 1, you can't get Powered Armor until later on. In 2, they introduced the Enclave's Advanced Powered Armor to outclass the player's Powered Armor, neither of which you could get early either unless you head for Navarro early. In 3 and New Vegas, you need a specific perk to use Power Armor, but since you meet the Brotherhood so early you can still get Power Armor early on in the main quest by looting their corpses, you just can't wear it. In 4, you cannot wear Power Armor pieces at all; you have to put them onto a frame and get in that. If they made it so frames were less common, likely having to get a frame later on in the main quest, the "Early Power Armor" issue could be alleviated somewhat.

Power armor is just an upgraded knight's armor which is why it's so badass.

[Fufstruck]

bro, 10 - 20 years ago this wouldve taken a team of professionals to do in a few weeks to a couple months. Now, a person can do this type of amazing animation as a hobby.

[ditto]

For all Fallout 4's many, MANY flaws, one of the few things I can say in its defense is that 4 had the best take on power armor. It has the vibe of a huge, bulky sort of mech suit, which I absolutely adore.

[Derethevil]

No matter how much shit you throw on Fallout 4.
You can't deny that it did give you the perfect feeling being in a Power Armor.

[Bob_TheRobot]

I love the little detail of when the ranger is inserting the power core, the small movement he does to line it up and slide it in, so nice.

[king_of_idiots]

A thing that has always been in my head is like, changing x-01 power armor eyes to a different color, so they glow VERY red, and then sitting in a dark corridor, and when someone hostile passes you thinking you're hollow or out of power, you turn the lights on and scare the shit out of them. Or if you're not in combat and someone initiates it, you turn on red light eyes to let them know they're fucked and immediately does an intimidation check to get them out of combat

[xavierkazoo]

I love the idea of someone running into battle in X-01 Power Armor, raiders or gunners or someone using all the ammo they have trying to kill them, and as the final armor piece is destroyed by the last of the bullets the warrior emerges from the wreckage in pristine NCR Riot Ranger Gear to kill the rest.

This video single handedly made me start another fallout 4 playthrough.

[captain_arbiter]

As beautiful as this animation is. It is screaming in my head how annoying it would be to get the ranger coat caught in that lol

[oodie]

I was fully expecting the duster to clip through the armour like it does in game.

[TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

I really love how Power Armor feels now. I remember playing Fallout 3 and thinking "that's it?" You need training just to wear a bulky outfit. But now, you can totally buy that you would need special training to operate one.
