Forum:Stop putting trenchcoats....

Stop putting trencoats on the ranger combat armor it looks bad...all I want is body armor without looking like I am about to shoot a school. I wish they would add in something that would make it so you can alter your clothing like add body armor, change the colors etc...flame away just my opinion 75.109.105.14 00:46, May 20, 2011 (UTC)druce

I like the trench coat NCR ranger armour... Does that mean I'm going to bring a gun to school to go for the Columnbine High score? No. I would have excused "Looking like im about to solve a crime", but you had to go for that one didn't you?

Also, as I said, I like the NCR ranger armour. In fact, Im happy they added the desert ranger armour in honest hearts, so that I can go around people who are hostile to the NCR in it. 5t3v0 02:57, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I've always wanted more customization when it comes to guns and apparel. The coat always looks silly to me when I'm running; it sort of bunches up around the leg area making it very obvious that the coat is textured strangely. I do really like the Desert variant though, especially since it's non-faction. BatmanVampireNinja 03:06, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

I play violent games, and listen to Marilyn Manson, but I've never shot a classmate. I too would like customizable armor. I wanted to wear the Sheriff Duster with reinforced combat armor, but then realized its almost exactly what Ranger Armor is. I want boots with bonuses to sneak, and speed. Gloves/Gauntlets with a plus to different kinds of weapons, lockpick, etc... That would make your character seem more real I think. When I put it in 3rd person view, I feel like I have a generic person, doesnt seem like this is the guy I wanted to have. Wearing the same armor as everyone else, it just don't make me feel like I'm that person, its an npc. I don't know, but I do like the trench coat on the ranger armor, but you can't wear it all the time if you don't want to fight the legion. Or if you side with the legion. I hate changing my armor every time I approach a town, or person that will be hostile.Pappy002 06:01, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Not saying anyone is going to actually shoot up a school just saying im sick of looking like I am. The desert armor is sweet but it has to much taken away by the trench coat in the loading tips it says NCR ranger armor is manufactured in the NCR so how does this armor that is prewar match it exactly? 75.109.105.14 15:03, May 20, 2011 (UTC)druce
 * Read more cautiously, the Ranger PATROL armor is crafted in the NCR. The Ranger Combat Armor is pretty much just a pre-war riot armor and a trenchcoat.Xporc 21:18, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

i agree. the ranger combat armor would look better without a trench coat and the blue jeans.

I would have to agree with the trench coat armor looking like crap. I mean you’re in the desert and you’re gunna wear a long heavy trench coat? but a lot of the armor in this game looks as if the developers didn’t put much thought into actual usability. Take the metal armor with those spikes sticking up from the shoulders. Hell if you turned your head and sneezed you’d end up stabbing your eye out!ReapTheChaos 04:22, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

How about making armor relavent? I'm playing on VH and I don't need any DT past level 10 or so. Between This Machine, my average FPS skills, companions and the absolutely derp-tastic enemy AI, I can easily get through the game without needing anything more heavy duty than an armored vault suit early-on. I&#39;m the best at space!

Learning a bit about American history would help you a lot in this category.

Dusters, riding coats and long coats were pretty common place in the early 1700's-1900's. Cowboys, Sheriffs and the like, similar to what is seen in a majority of "old westerns" is actually pretty accurate. As this game tries very hard to mimic the old west with its very VERY large quantity of Cowboy related paraphernalia, lever action rifles, revolvers, hats, and characters, Dynamite; I'd say it fits the game really well. Also, yes you're very likely to wear a heavy duty long trench coat in the desert, as it would act as in insulating device for the sun, would help to retain moisture within your body as you sweat, help to repel dangerous dust and debris that my kick up at your body, help to fight against strong winds, and as they are usually made of leather, they're very much so water repellent. People assume that a desert is always hot, sorry to say but that's not true either, during the nights the temperatures can drop well below zero, extremely rapidly, where in a trench coat would also come in handy in keeping you warm.

Asking the question, "why wear trench coats in the desert," is like saying, Why do people wear heavy black robes in the desert? If you've never lived away from civilized areas, you should probably do some research.

===== i like the coat but a variant without would kick ass--Gogoloco 09:42, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, so this what I think! I THINK that they oversold the NCR Ranger Combat Armor. They added to many variants that made people go "Meh, i'll wear a Legion skirt instead..." I apologize for offending anybody since there are alot of, how do I put this... Umm... IDK NM! But my point is that they should've just stayed with the NCR Ranger Combat Armor, Desert Ranger Combat Armor, & JUST ONE! JUST F-ING ONE Ranger Combat Armor without the trench coat in Lonesome Road...--T-51bBoSPaladin 04:02, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
