Why? It finally feels like what actual power armor should feel like, a walking tank, instead of an ugly suit that behaves identically to a leather jacket to conventional body armor.
Go to whatever settlement you stored it in.
Go to a crafting table and press Transfer, you'll what is stored there and what you are carrying and you can switch items back and forth.
Honestly didn't expect that.

Huh, I thought the enemy mobs just scaled to your level but I guess I was wrong.
I'm looking at those level 45+ zones and dreading those giant fucking mosquito fly fuckers and deathclaws
Oh fuck insects. Fuck them. Fucking fuck they move around too much
and its still going crazy fast. i guess the game being optimized for pc or at least bette roptimized for pc and not taking much to run it has worked in favor of bethesda. plus mods.
Thank you!
Played for 2-3 hours. Feels good to play more Fallout, New England setting is promising. Crafting capabilities alone are almost overwhelming, seems like a real time sink but I'm starting to mess with weapon upgrades and it's a cool system. These games are always a slow burn for me, hard to form too many concrete impressions this early and I have some hangups but overall it's been positive and I'm looking forward to really digging into the world.
Already encountered one of the more charming Fallout bugs I've come across - after meeting Dogmeat he immediately started powerbombing roaches from 30 feet in the air to their death. Will probably put that one up on YouTube. I've had my share of bugs with the series from the amusing to the debilitating so I'm definitely saving often. Unfortunately saving on PS4 isn't as simple as it should be, feels like the PS3 process for some reason.

Is there a way for me to easily switch between normal armor and power armor?
I just don't want to feel like i have to, or really should, use power armor when setting out on a tough challenge.

I am not sure
is a smart idea, ha ha.

Edit:
Spouse is dead, dang.
I don't know what normal is like, but on hard, legendary enemies show up routinely. I've killed probably 10 of them so far in about 8 hours. The last one dropped a laser musket that has +50% bonus damage to animals, which will seriously come in handy.
the lessons I've learned so far... VATs is crucial on hard... explosives (along with demolitions perk in my case) can really get you out of a pinch... sometimes it's okay to flee..

so, my laptop is a 2013 Sager with i7-3630QM & GeForce GTX 675MX. I knew it was pretty low spec for this game going in.
Right off the bat, the game crashed when trying to launch. I updated GeForce drivers and verified the Steam cache and that fixed it.
The game suggested I use low settings, but GFE thought even that was too much and suggested the optimal settings would be 1280x740 res, low settings, and most other things turned off. I accepted that but the game looked absolutely dreadful.
For now I've bumped to 1920x1080 and a mix of low/medium settings. I didn't get farther than the first few minutes of the game, so I'll have to see how it fares once I get out in the world and into combat with multiple enemies. I'm not expecting much. Playing on PC may have to wait until I have a better rig.
Decided to pick up the PS4 version too.

How do I keep track of my power armor?
man, everytime I find quests inside buildings (aka Fallout's "dungeons") I get super paranoid of how many other quests im missing lol
but anyway, just did the
side quest and it was rad. you even get a cool unique
if you complete it "properly"
but anyway, just did the
cambrige chemical lab

Glad I bought VANS. I like exploring and all but I want to know where I need to go so I can either go there or avoid that location.

I'm gonna need to see this.
no. stimpacks cures all limbs now
loading screen tooltips mention plastic surgery so...yes?
The game has had many small bugs for me so far, some amusing, but no large or damaging bugs as yet. Just a lot of slop, like long inexplicable pauses in dialogue, the wrong subtitles playing for dialogue being spoken, characters getting stuck in funny places, enemies sometimes healing to full for no reason, if I queue up food eating in my pip boy sometimes one of the foods I ate had its pending effects erased by eating another one, sound effects not playing, etc.
Yeah, I got them favorited plus equipped. I have no idea what Im doing wrong.
Ugh. There is one big one it says is too heavy - even though I can pick up a dead raider no problem.

So when more Fallout 4 videos started coming out people said "Don't care about the graphics, this is the only game where you can go everywhere and there will be no loading screens ever."
Why do I need to load up a small cave, and why are the loading time so long? I needed a loading screen to go into the museum also if I am not mistaken. What gives. .

so many people have now played it. now that you have put a minimum of 2-10 hours into it. what is your reaction to the game now

Yeah...I think I'll go ahead and wait before picking this up.
You can also make some TRULY fucked up faces with normal proportions. The amount of scars/blemish you can add are great.
What difficulty you playing on? I'm on Very Hard and definitely finding it challenging.
Yeah, I can't imagine lowering it based on what I've encountered so far. Some stuff is super tough and takes a bunch of tries with novel idea to get past, but I really like that. Sort of scared to bump up to Survival honestly.
Yeah, I actually really like it. I'm going to invest in it either as a secondary aspect of my build way down the line or for a second character someday. You can kind of set out toward a goal, "park" and pop out to explore the area, then run back and hop in if it looks like it's going to be a firefight.
You can completely avoid using it altogether if you don't want to.

Thanks guys. Game owns, no bugs so far. Killin some raiders in a coolant cap factory with a pistol. I don't really understand the upgrade system yet, I just keep adding stars to my SPECIAL. Idk. It's really fun.

Not sure if it's worthy yet, but I've been investing in it. We'll see as time goes.
I should also say I'm having a lot of fun with the game, and the plus side is there have been no game breaking or serious bugs, only many minor ones that are of little or no consequence .

Melee combat it pretty garbage. ALL weapons, even "fast" weapons swing stupid slow. I'm going to have to restart as I specced a 9 strength build to do melee.

Finished the part we saw at the reveal for the most part. Was pretty fun, but I'm ready for some new guns ASAP.

Can someone remind me where it's safe to store excess stuff? I'm quickly becoming overburdened in this world as my OCD makes me pick up everything I find. I'm very early in and wondering if I can just throw all this stuff in a random file cabinet or will it disappear after X amount of days?

Quick question for you guys: Can I avoid the whole settlement thing entirely? I like Fallout for the lone-wolf aspect, not community-management.

Yeah, despite the doom and gloom that almost worried me, it's pretty damn stable and fun so far.

Awesome. its more like Morrowind where you can try to go into parts of the game where you are underleveled. It feels good to loot places you are supposed to go to just yet.
You can store it anywhere, nobody will steal it. But for convenient sake, Sanctuary Hills. It won't disappear either.
