my observations:

it seems power armor power consumption is directly tied to the action point usage / generation.
the more slowly you generate action points (say becaus you move) the more energy your power armor will consume.
if you use action points (say, because you hold your breat while sniping) you will consume a lot energy.
there isnt to much a difference in power consumption between sniping and using your jetpack.

so, im fairly sure now that anything that affects ap generation or usage also affects power armor power consumption.
the sniper perk will reduce power needs for holding your breath, the leg modifications that affect ap generation or usage will also affect fusion core drain.

again: fairly sure, not 100% sure. its not that easy to test (or, actually it is. but im to lazy to do it right)

[motorbitch]

oh ja. oh jajaja.

just found this:

That might be why there's an expensive paint job that provides 2 bonuses. I think it reduces AP consumption. Can't remember exactly.

And damn, I wanted one of those. I just managed to find one that gave +15% limb damage, so it was pretty much an insta-disabler.

[motorbitch]

hm, 15%? i think its 50%?
anyway, there is one for sell with 50% in the

castle armory

can you elaborate on the paintjob? i have not found to many, and they just give one bonus, like charisma, strengh or agility.

[Gabeux]

Oh it was that one. Derp.

There's a group of Power Armor modders on the Commonwealth. They sell a specific paint job. Take your pick:

South, around Quincy.

Spoiler: Location (click to show/hide)

Atom Cats Garage, sold by the mechanic girl.

Beware it's T-60 specific. It doesn't work on X-01's...which is sad.

[motorbitch]

nice, im going to have a look - tho, i proably wont downgrade to t-60 anymore.

in other news: the new ati drivers are plain awesome.

Asynchronous Shaders
Shader Cache
Optimized Flip Queue Size
Custom Resolution Support
Frame Pacing Enhancements
Frame Rate Target Control Enhancements


got better fps and the game feels more smooth when droping under v-sync.
still cant fully fix the engine, but well, only so much a driver can do.
also supports hazzle free downscaling.

Okay wow, I'm getting tired of dying to mininukes. Kinda killing my immersion sense I don't know how to avoid them, until they've killed me once (and even then...)

What am I doing wrong?

Stop hitting the nuke with your face.

I'm still wondering about (and sort of expecting) a weird-ass DLC of "what did you do, before you woke up from cryo, THIS TIME!"

The world's fallen twice in the FallOut universe, at least. FO4 is just getting the SPECIAL bits together, considering tech in 1+2 after the first fall. Synths? VATS? All that different? But you're really, really human. Honestly........

Explains the bad dialogue, anyway. And the reason you can only see about 300m upwards. At most. Plus the fact that you're essentially just a scrap collector on a mission from "someone". All the time.

never not sneak

The only real way to deal with that is sneaking and going Vassili Zaitsev when enemy gets cautious. That is: kill, move repeat.

If you're not going in sneaking / cannot sneak at all, then make sure you have looots of cover (trees help a lot) between you and the target.
If you're really pissed off, sneak and order your companion to face your enemy (because attack orders tend to make your companion go stupid). Wait for the first nuke, then alpha strike the nuker.
Bring grenades (specially plasma) and dump them all on the nuker, or keep a fat man / rocket launcher with you or your companion for this kind of situation.

Depending on the difficulty, heavy guns like the Minigun can be really effective because the suiciders (I assume that's how you're getting killed by mininukes) run straight at you and you don't have to worry about aiming. If you can't kill them before they reach you, though, you could always try sniping from a long ways away.

Nuclear bullets from my sniper rifle are fun.
