Apart from being annoying and shouting at me, it seems to be perfectly pointless.

I am also disappointed with Deathclaws, Ive been in the nest a lot today and it feels like Counterstrike. BOOM Headshot, one dead Deathclaw. The Unique Sniper Rifle + 100 Sneak and Finesse (Extra Crits), Deathclaws are falling to one single sneak critical sniper round to the head.

Never had 2 at a time yet.

I have to say that the Power Armour does suck in FO3 apart from looking super cool!! but I suppose if it was like WH40k Power Armour, we'd be virtually unkillable 🙂

Also, where can I find large collections of Enclave? Im loving my Plasma Pistol but I want a bigger and better one, with some for repairs 🙂

Even in the first two games Deathclaws were only a real threat when you were low leveled and under-equipped. Once you got a plasma rifle and a high enough energy weapons rating to consistently hit the eyes killing Deathclaws was pretty trivial. In fact, in my last play throughs I noticed that once you hit a certain proficiency in skills and get the power armor and plasma rifle, you were pretty much unstoppable.

Tesla Armor is great and plentiful in the field to make repairs with from your downed foes. I took the 50+ weight perk, so the extra bulk is quite inconsequential. You get a boost to energy weapons (plasma rifles and ammo are also everywhere to be found on downed Enclave) and rad resistance too FWIW.

Agreed ...
I love the Tesla Armor ....

I must add...

Enclave Power Armour slows you down far too much for its protection benefit. The Prototype Medical Armour (despite being annoying) is much more efficient and allows betetr movement.
