10 Times Video Games "Helped" (And Made Everything Worse)

8. Brotherhood Power Armour - Fallout: New Vegas

Power Armour is truly Fallout's gift to the player. You can have the most fragile character build ever, with egg-shell like endurance, and wearing the huge metal suit will still give you a good chance at beating most enemies.

As some of the most convenient Power Armour to obtain is from either befriending or killing the Brotherhood of Steel, there's a good chance this'll be your first proper set of the stuff.

But it's also the most dangerous set, as wearing the large branded suit places you in the Brotherhood faction to NPCs you meet.

And in New Vegas, the Brotherhood have taken a dark turn and are warring with basically anyone, so a whole heaping ton of characters will want to fight you if they see you wearing the armour. This can be especially annoying if you've learnt the tactic of equipping the suit solely to fight, as you'll unmistakably forget at least once and get your well-meaning head caved in by folks who are supposed to be your friends.

The things we do in order to wear large, steel full-body suits.
