The Railroad seem like gigantic incompetent losers. First radiant mission they gave me,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

they sent me to one of their safe-houses, only to find their Railroad Agents stuffed in crates and barrels, the building itself taken over by raiders and 1 deathclaw. When I got back to them, they looked at me and said:
"Damn, guess the Institute got us."

Yeah. The Institute. Thanks, Obama!

Could be that raiders just took over the place after the synths cleared the place out.

I just want to know how the raiders got a pet death claw.

[Aseaheru]

Well, you can get a perk to intimidate wild animals into being friends, why cant the NPCs?

[Flying Dice]

Wow, I wish that they'd actually had the foresight to integrate that into the radiant fights that appear when patrols bump into each other. Raiders with a pet deathclaw, Gunners with a supermutant slave, &c. that don't respawn that way, being solely a product of interactions between randomly spawned groups.

Gods this is so weird, the more power armor I have, the more I need.  I have 36 frames, I think, and it isn't enough.  I don't even use most of them, I just keep grabbing more of them and I can't stop.  I have too much power armor, send more power armor.

So the Railroad paintjob for the T-51 looks absolutely stunning.

I think I know how to solve your problem:

find more power armor

Meanwhile, I'm level 32 and still don't have a full suit of T-51 power armor... I've been missing the left arm for forever.

Personally I can never find right legs for anything.

There's a trader you can buy all sorts of parts from. It's a bit expensive though, it'll probably cost you an arm and a leg.

I was still missing the full T-51 suit long after I had a full T-60 and two full X-01. I guess I leveled up too fast (what power armor you get depends on your level).

However I was finally able to find one thanks to looking on the wiki. So I can vouch that there is at least one location where you get T-51 no matter your level.

BAH-DUM-DUM-TSSSS

Given there are full sets of armor in quite a few locations... you REALLY don't need to buy them.

Honestly any amount of power armor is overkill... Even the worst power armor is way more armor then you ever need... and with modification you can start thinking about taking deathclaws to school and teaching them the alphabet.

Then after you educate the deathclaws they will be able to hold a steady job thus expanding the job market of the commonwealth.

I just completed the constitution quest line.   It was actually a really fun fight at the end with an amusing payoff.

5/5 stars would rocket sailboat again.

Who knows, maybe I can get to the top of that building....

Though I do have to admit, I'm likely never going to actually use the broadsider.  My rifle does more damage than it, fires faster, and can reliably hit things from outside vats range.    Maybe I'll give it to Danse.

I've actually been curious how the scratch damage and armor piercing mechanics work in the game in general.  T-51 power armor gives so much protection that really only a mininuke should be able to hurt you, but you obviously still take scratch damage from even potshots from pipe pistols.  T-45 armor is enough to block everything short of and maybe even including missiles.

Yet, deathclaws can still hack away 20% or so of my health despite that much armor.  I don't think they kill me in one hit without it though, so obviously there is some kind of armor piercing system.

All on all, it does make me wonder if there's much point in getting the higher marks of armor.  It really does seem like the T-45 armor is plenty, aside from its durability issue.  I guess that's a good enough reason.

Increased rad resistance is pretty nice and some of the stronger enemies can do a lot of damage even through power armour, especially when it starts to break. Fighting through Gunners with plasma weapons and missile launchers is much easier when you have a good suit of power armour.
