For my Chicago fallout game I thought of something:
What is there was an other enterprise that make Power armor?
Right now there is only west tec, that made all the pre war power armor and the enclaves that made post war power armor (from what I know).
Now I present to you: Power-Up! A startup located in Chicago, that make their first appearance in 2067, after the first set of T-45 Power armor is made. At last, after 8 years of work, Power up presents their first power armor named the PU-75, a pretty standard armor at a pretty cheap price for a power armor. It wasn’t an incredible sale, but it was bought by some private companies and even some rich individuals. 2 years later, when the bomb dropped, Power-Up was about to finish the prototype for their next power armor, that they said would be “Way better than a T-60” said the head of development. But because of the bombs, the construction of the PU-77 was never finished.
I also think it would make an amazing quest to finish the set of PU-77 power armor, and be the only one in the wasteland to have one!
Let me know what you think!
