Fallout canonically has cyborgs.

Pretty sure maxson is a cyborg and star paladin cross is one

u/HoodsBonyPrick 24d ago
Calling Kellog and Maxson cyborgs is kind of a stretch imo. I feel like Cyborgs need to be more machine than man, or at least close to an even split.

We don't know what implants maxson has but Kellogg is definitely a cyborg. Every limb he has is modified along with his brain and slowed ageing.

u/HoodsBonyPrick 24d ago
For me personally cyborgs have more to do with a visual motif than a specific set of skills. I don’t consider Kellogg a cyborg because he doesn’t look like one. We’re told that his limbs are modified, but we don’t see it.

“A cyborg is a human trying to be a machine, and an android is a machine trying to be a human.”
Yeah Kellog is pretty debatable. I would consider him a cyborg because he’s got a lot of machine parts but the insititute’s technology allows him to look much more human than he really is.

u/Pozitox 25d ago
Nah maxson isnt a cyborg , he has implants. Unless you meant that having implants makes you a cyborg

u/KEVLAR60442 25d ago
I personally love the generous application of the cyborg label. Even my disabled friends with prosthetics and mobility aids I call cyborgs. It just makes life seem cooler.

This is related to something I hope they fix in the next game. I'm replaying right now and there are so many cool outfits I get, realize I would need to give up 2-5 legendary effects to wear it, then shove it in the bottomless hole that is Sanctuary's Workshop. Like yeah, the general's coat is cool, but I wore it long enough to take a screenshot because its completely useless in game play.

u/Laser_3 Responders 25d ago
76’s solution is to have the outfits have no stats at all and just be equitable over your armor (so visually you’re wearing the outfit, but mechanically you’re wearing armor and underarmor). Frankly, I think Bethesda should keep this going forward.

u/Dartzinho_V 25d ago
There’s also the Starfield approach, where it automatically switches to your clothes while in safe areas, and to your armour/suit while out in the wilds

u/BloodiedBlues Railroad 25d ago
Not sure if it’s changed with the updates, but if you have your space gear equipped while sneaking, it causes less efficient sneaking.

I like that about 76. Maybe it’s not ✨realistic✨ for me to have crazy armor under my greaser jacket and pompadour wig, but if we’ve already got mothman running around I say why not suspend disbelief a little so I can rep my boys the Kings

u/Starfleet-Time-Lord 25d ago
Or better yet, give it stats so it still feels like it does something and feels like loot, but still make it possible to equip it cosmetically only. It's not like it's advanced technology, I play Lord of the Rings online, a game older than Fallout 3, and it has that functionality.

u/Neveronlyadream 25d ago
There are at least mods to make coats separate from the rest of the outfit. There can be some weird clipping issues when you layer, though.
I'll fashion souls that shit up, but it would be nice if Bethesda just added the option in the next game instead of hoping someone makes a mod for it.

u/jordanmindyou 24d ago
Is fashion souls what the kids say nowadays instead of fashion scape? Times are a-changin, aren’t they…

u/UserWithno-Name 25d ago
That’s what mods are for. The base legendary system sucks. I can’t imagine not being able to assign my own chosen legendaries on items

u/toast_of_temptation_ Brotherhood 25d ago
I mean the general’s armour isn’t useless. It’s got great resistances for its weight I think

u/fullmetal_jack 24d ago
You're right that 'useless' may be a bit harsh, but I think the loss of slots to equip legendary effects is even more important than damage resistance, or at least it is to me.

u/ktmnn614 24d ago
Me when everyone posts their cool fits and I just look at my character’s Frankenstein armor and sigh…

u/Its0nlyRocketScience 25d ago
A good solution would be to just stop making all the cool outfits one piece. Just a little extra effort would make the pants, shirt, and coat all separate so they can be mixed and matched instead of one and done.

u/Mcaber87 Minutemen 25d ago
its completely useless in game play.
I used it for the entirety of my survival mode run, including throughout the DLCs which are a step up in terms of difficulty.
It's not useless at all. Sounds like you're just the type to obsess over min maxxing stats or whatever.

I thought they were referring to the insane amount of implants and augmentations the Courier can get throughout their journey.

u/LtColonelColon1 24d ago
Just next time please do not repost art without first having the source and giving direct credit. Getting permission is even better but sometimes not able to be done.

u/toast_of_temptation_ Brotherhood 24d ago
My guy I found the source less than a minute after posting

u/LtColonelColon1 24d ago
And I’m saying you should have looked before posting, and to know better next time. That’s the general art reposting etiquette to help respect artists and their work.

u/SnowHelpAtAll 25d ago
It would be awesome if coats were treated like armor instead of outfits. Realistically you should be able to wear any jumpsuit type outfit underneath any coat or armor. And it would look really cool.

u/Adventurous-Role-948 25d ago
I remember seeing mods on F4 that mix the vault suit with different clothing like jackets over them like the one above. Would be cool to have a better clothing combination mechanic

u/MrAnon-Y-mous 25d ago
I like your Nora's reply too lol - I usually go with that one speech check where I tell Maxson that if Danse dies, I'd leave the Brotherhood right then and there.
In hindsight, what could he do to stop me? I'm the one responsible for infiltrating the Institute, turning the tide of their "holy war" against them in the Brotherhood's favor and going out of my way to help rebuild Liberty Prime - not to mention I've killed countless enemies, ranging from deathclaws to super mutants and feral ghouls to Gunners. I'm their Captain America, and they know it.

...the Brotherhood made us of cybernetics all the time. Arthur is off his rocker.

u/XanderEliteSword 25d ago
Bold of Maxson to say that; isn’t he technically a cyborg? Or is the entertwining of flesh and machine ok when the Brotherhood does it? 🤔

There's a ton of stuff that you should be able to wear armor over it.

We should be able to apply Ballistic Fiber Weave to both the General's uniform and the Vault suit.

I want that too. The Vaultsuit leathers mod gives a similar look and feel. And can actually be weaved

Eli's Armour Compendium adds that plus a few other vault outfit combos. Heres a direct pic since there's a lot of screenshots to look through
