Now, that said, the game expects you use Power Armor occasionally, and certain enemies such as Deathclaws & Behemoths are designed with that in mind. This will tell the game that you've already gotten into the armor and picked up the minigun (even if you haven't), and gives you the next task in the quest (clear Concord of hostiles). It sounds like you're already past that, but if on a future playthrough you want to circumvent the armor altogether, AND you're on the PC version, you can use the console to skip that step by entering: setstage 001a001c 65 The only time that using Power Armor is absolutely required is during the first Minuteman quest in Concord, called ' When Freedom Calls'. Features like settlements and faction quests are completely optional (with one exception), and how you spend your time in The Commonwealth is completely up to you.
Yes, you can play Fallout 4 without using Power Armor, although you will find some tasks become much easier by using it.įallout 4 is designed to be a fairly open game, where you can make choices as to how you play.
