Apr 15 at 14:55	comment	added	qazmlpok		In the first two games at least, critical hits may bypass armor completely. There's no specific vulnerability, but a lucky knife or punch can still damage someone in armor as if it wasn't there. Outside of that power armor is extremely tough and would fully negate a basic knife attack. There's no downside to wearing power armor except for the heavy weight.
Apr 15 at 14:50	comment	added	Adamant		I would say the armor itself is consistently shown to be almost more trouble than it is worth, along the same lines: it won't save you from a mutated bear (but will make you too slow to run away effectively), it has another weak spot, it requires a whole fusion core (the entire energy supply of a vault, in essence) to even move, and it can easily get stuck and prevent the user from leaving. Not to mention having no safeguards against theft and requiring frequent repairs.
Apr 15 at 14:40	comment	added	Adamant		I don't know, but it does fit with the basic idea of corporate and government incompetence, not to say insanity, leading to mind-bogglingly inefficient solutions, including the bizarre vault experiments and the nuclear apocalypse itself as a solution to war (kind of MAD turned on its head)
