Upgrades to your PA like auto-targeting visor arm mounted guns(flamethrowers :flamethrower: or grenade launchers except with the downside of a decrease to your accuracy

Well do you think that they would put something over powered into the game? I don't think so. No once you add it in to your armor thats it its one piece of armor. So you repair the whole thing. Think of it that way.

Since I dont like writing im going to make a list, but since I don't like taking up space I'm gonna make a shortened list - First, Decals would be sweet, You own designs depending on what faction you side with, tribal for the tribal people, you could add skulls to your shoulders and roman for the Populusque Romanus ( People of Rome) obivously there are more NCR, Scavengers but also I could be all camo like, with camo decals, ghillie suits, Stealth Boys and finaly something like the Chinese Stealth Armour. Also you could add L.E.D.'s lights to your armout as torches or in patterns so you look cool and so you could make pictures of [censored]'s on your armour like every boy aged between 11 and 15. - Second, Defence, Defence against every thing, but you could only have one at a time, Lead or armour plating angaist bullets, Mirrors or those bike reflector thingies for defence against Laser weapons etc etc etc. - Third visible stuff, like night vision or thermal vision.

All of these would have downsides, The armour is weight, the visible stuff if some one flips on a light you'll be blinded and Im pretty sure some ones gunna notice a bright red power armour wearing idiot with a deathclaw skull on each shoulder,

Nice idea, especially about the L.E.D.s. I'd love to be able to change the color - and maybe, just maybe, make it so that your power armor has a special light-bending material (probably would look matte black when not in use) that would bend light around and away from the armor (i.e. Chinese Stealth Suit). That'd be nice - but it would also need to be relatively hard to get so we arn't using it immediately. Also, when 'activated' it might cause you to have a much lower defense (this would be to appease those people screaming this would be overpowered). When you are standing or when the cloaking is off, you'd take 'normal' damage - and possibly you could have more armor plating attached to it so you take less damage - but again, they would deactivate when the cloaking is on.

As a side note I think it would be cool if THE CONSOLE PLAYERS were allowed to add different color variants to their players armor and weapons.

Inigo Montoya: Let me esplain....there's no time....let me sum up

But yeah, i like your ideas mate

I'd like an option to add a cloth or wrist band or something to cover up that patch of skin in between the glove and the Pipboy. For some reason it bothers me whenever I have the power armor on, makes me feel vulnerable.

I'd like it but doubt it will happen.

i want a shoulder gun to pop up with a tri-dot laser thingy to show up on them ...dun dun dunnn

I suggested shoulder mounted weapons on power armor a long time ago on another name that had got banned but not many people wanted to listin. I also suggested many of the things that are in the hardcoe switch, like the switch itself. I actually miss my old profile on here =( My damn bro got it banned.

I notticed people suggesting some of the things in my thread in there own so bump. Mines better anyway compiles everything.

I want power armor customizable to the point you're 30 feet tall, look like Liberty Prime, can shoot auto targeted 100% accurate lasers of insta-death out of your eyes and chuck 1 ton nuclear grenades across the entire map of New Vegas. Also my suit will need some modifications so I can cheat at gambling make me invulnerable and make me good at hopscotch.

Thats a bit crazy man. But would be kool if you could control libirty prime. But thats another thread and another game.

I think that like some of your clothing should be customiseable (sorry i just woke up i can't spell) not like customising your power armor with dragon skin on the inside of the suit to make you invinsible

Maybe a small flash light on a pair of glass's that goes farther than your pip boy light

customizing would be cool. Not for just improved protection, but looks, colors including camo.

I think it'd be cool if all armor (besides PA ofc) was simply an accumulation of components, like you had an under shirt/pants/suit that could be leather jacket/pants or a jumpsuit or just normal clothes, each would offer varying protection, and then you could have slots for different stuff you know, like head, eyes, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, back, waist, legs, feet. Like that they could make armor feel more random, like you could find say, tire pauldrons, or leather shoulder pads, or an old wornout kevlar vest, makeshift chainmail, goaly pads, various sports helmets, football shoulder pads, or litterally a plate of metal to protect your chest. A lot of them could be attached to different slots, and each would have varying armor ratings and varying agility/speed/aiming/melee penalties, for example wearing heavy or large stuff on hands/arms would slow down and reduce melee damage and make aiming a little slower/more wobbly. Some could even have storage/carry weight benefits like a construction worker's belt, a backpack, etc. Could be really fun, ah well, maybe I'm just too spoiled by TES armor system.

I DON'T want:
-Shoulder/Wrist-mounted weaponry attached to Power Armor. Leave the weapons that you get without Power Armor with the Power Armor. It's Power Armor, not Overpowered Armor.

What I do want if there is customizable armors, is minor augmentations that provide strength, speed, resistance, etc. bonuses with a loss, or aesthetic augmentations, like adding kitten skulls to Power Armor. If armor does get customization, I want it to be much like traits. You could add an underlying piece of metal, cermamic, or flexible bulletproof membranes (think Kevlar), but the consequence is a weight bonus based off of the material (Kevlar would be relatively low whilst metal would be much heavier, but metal could take several more bullets than Kevlar could). Or you could make leather armor into a hardened leather armor, but it'd have an agility loss because you now have less flexibility. Or you could remove certain things (i.e. parts off of Metal Armor, like shoulder guards) and become faster, but you'd lose a bit of your protection/resistance in the process.

I'd like things like that, not added weaponry.

I'd love ta paintca skull on my power helmets face and angel wings on tha back of the armour how sick would that be?

If they were to be modded like guns there should be a limit to 3 and its permenent, even though i dont like the permenent rule
(makes no sense that you cant take a scope or extended mag off).
And that some mods are weapon/armor specific to a type that makes sense. Mostly because certain armors have certain strengths how leather is to provide some protection and not limit agility. while power armor is for str and protection.

The decals seem fine but the colors should probrably be limited since hot pink isnt really on anyones mind(maybe not).

who are the stupid kids who said no?

I would love customizable armor. I would also like to have the armor and clothing separated more. In Oblivion, you had pants/greaves, gloves/gauntlets, shoes/boots, etc. In Fallout 3, you had full body suits and helmets. I would like to mix and match like in Oblivion.

Exactly.

Yes that type of thing started in oblivion I think. The areana and most of the plugins had one item fit all over you and no seperations. Then fallout just took it a mile.

Maybe, like, you can put some random steel plates on your Power armor or something like that. It would be funny to watch and kick-ass.

I think that would be cool, so I voted yes...however are we talking about a mod or what? Because the game already has trailers out and all lol, the game is done and they can't really add anymore stuff now.

Um it would be cool, however it takes out the original look of the Power Armor....I guess that would be one of my disagreements, since being a hardcoe Fallout 3 fan. And the color idea just got me kind of smiling, because imagine someone walking around with some pink Power Armor lol. I think it would be good just to be a optional thing, which that's what it is going to be since New Vegas is already done and ready to come out.
