You said you were a sucker for power armor, so does that mean you enjoy the fallout series as well? Fallout New Vegas lover right here.
I’m guessing you mean me lol. And absolutely. I love the Fallout series too. I really enjoyed 3. But I love the power armor mechanic in 4. I know that’s taboo to say now but I like that it’s treated as a vehicle. I’d love to make the different variations of the power armor
