15 frames, with 6 complete sets. It's good being able to bring back random parts though and know you've probably got a WIP set that needs that part. And being able to modify different suits in different ways and with different colours.

This game may as well be called 'Power Armour Simulator' for me at the moment hehe

I see that Curie has the same annoying habit as Codsworth for getting in the way just as you're about to take a sniper shot. furious

As far as aluminium goes, TV dinner trays are your friends. I think alarm clocks have a bit in them as well as some nuclear material.
Lots of cans lying around as well

I find that buying a shipment of some things can make a lot of sense. But before I do, I put on some +2 CHR clothes, a +1 CHR hat, +1 CHR sunglasses, and pop some Grape Mentats that give +5 CHR and 10% better prices. You would be amazed what a difference that makes to prices. I've had expensive things almost halve in price with that little lot.

Got to love some of the weird and wonderful things you stumble across in the Fallout games...

The previous games still stand up as RPGs even if the graphics are a bit pants.

How have you got the 15 frames? Did you buy some or are the all found? I still want to figure out how to get them for free. Thinking a settlement full of people in power armor with mini guns and around 20 mg turrets would be able to look after themselves?.... smile

I've got to own up to having 12 sets, there are loads around the Wilderness. I've tried to get Cait into power armour when we went to kick the Synth's backsides up at the top North East of the map, can someone tell me if and how you get a companion into power armour. Also is the main quest the only way to to get to find the Synths?

You can select the companion and command them to get in. Although it seems a bit glitchy and took a few attempts. Move your target around when aiming for the power armour and the option will come up eventually.

Give her human shape then. She's excellent shot BTW. And you can shag her as well )))

There are loads of frames out there, all of the ones in the picture have been found (excluding the BOS one)- I realized last night there is also a 16th frame behind me when that picture was taken- but I didn't have the resources to build another station for it!

As for companions, you simply activate 'command' on a companion, then once the glowing arrows appear (like when you instruct them to move somewhere) simply hover them over the power armour and an option shows up saying 'enter power armour'.

Then to get them out, 'talk' to them and a option appears (usually the bottom one on PC) that says 'exit power armour'. I've not had any glitches with it yet on PC and I've used it extensively- it's been really useful as I spend a lot of time in power armour so it's handy to have a companion who can take any other sets I find back to base, without me having to travel back to change out first.

Had an email to say my copy of "Just Cause 3" is due to be delivered today. That's going in the pile of Christmas presents I have bought myself - in the wrapper at least until FO4 is finished.

You've not yet met the old woman with the Minutemen, his name changes after that

Ah right I see, thanks!

Think I'm spending too much time going to help settlements and not a lot else.

Can someone tell me please... What is the point/gain from having lots of settlers?! I have maybe 120/130 settlers across my settlements and I'm not really sure what the benefit is?! All it seems to do I cause me to have to plant food, dig for water and build beds!

Also, the dog was called Dogmeat in Fo3 so it's kind of a tradition.

What's going on with the lock-picking, I can't see he lock I'm picking, which makes it impossible (PC). frown

Have you uncapped the FPS? First thing I can think of for PC. Messes stuff up.
