Yup, people have been ranting about that for a few days now.Anybody notice the X-01 in the display case in Nuka World?
Anybody notice the X-01 in the display case in Nuka World? Are there any other lore inconsistencies I missed?
So basically all that time the Enclave spent using there Research and Development corps to create a new model of Power Armor, achieved fuck all?There is actually a really REALLY stupid explanation for the X-01 power armor! Even though, it's supposed to be POST WAR it turns out that it was developed JUST before the bombs fell! And they decided to give a working proto-type of this very dangerous suit of power armor to paint and put on display in a kids theme park!
There was a time when every item in Fallout was handplaced. You found a suit of Power Armor, it was because it makes sense for it to be there, you looked around and everything was placed appropriately. Bethesda unfortunately doesn't understand this.The X-01 is pure laziness on Bethesdas part, they wanted a tasty final reward but couldnt be bothered to come up with something unique or appropriate to the setting...basically their approach to the whole franchise.
Imagine spending your heavily numbered days painstakingly designing the most efficient, technologically advanced power armour to date, only to find that someone had invented this exact design 200 years prior to be used as a childrens' theme park advertising machine.So basically all that time the Enclave spent using there Research and Development corps to create a new model of Power Armor, achieved fuck all?

The power armor is disabled with a toy water pistol because after all this game is written for children by children so why not make them the big bad raider leader in the first 2 minutes of the DLC and give them a toy water cannon to play with.
I actually got two stupid excuses for why that power armor was literally invincible. First was "power armor in general works by using magnets to slow down the bullets. And with enough power they can just full on stop them." This was then later corrected to "No, wait. It just uses hydraulics and lots of power makes them invincible."
I would normally say something like "that teleporter crap was the moment I quit Fallout 4" but fact is that kind of idiotic writing is splattered throughout the Commonwealth. Yea guys - the institute has teleporter technology but can't find the railroad even though the entire Commonwealth talks about it and there's a big red line leading to their "secret" base, the password to which is "Railroad."The instititute have a working teleporter for christ sake.

I've always thought that Bethesda has a secret desire to take every post-war invention in the Fallout Universe, and fuck its lore up, so that the entire universe remains stagnant.
What's this, Myron invented Jet?, Nope pre-war.
The Enclave spent years perfecting a new model of Power Armor?, Nope, invented just before the bombs fell.
Vertibirds were supposed to be invented shortly after the bombs fell?, What a shame.
The Shi have actually found a sustainable power source?, That's odd cause the most technologically advanced faction in the world relies on a pre-war piece of technology to power there base.
The Brotherhood are making improved designs of energy weapons?, Nope, not even the Institute can't do that.
