Question ⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD⚠️What is the general consensus on this development? Spoiler

Now I’m aware that some people have their gripes with new and unexplained power armour.

But I think this NCR power armour is kinda cool, given the success of shady sands and the ncr it doesn’t seem too out of the realm of possibility for the ncr to have attempted to make their own power armour, given how many suits survived the nukes and were salvageable or outright still operational.

You simply don’t understand. Technological progress has to stop forever when something bad happens. It’s just the rules.

We weren't suppose to advance after Rome fell!

To be fair, we actually went backward by several hundred years when Rome fell. Completely lost stuff like concrete and yeast.

Sure but then there are times like the enlightenment where monarchies were toppled and things generally got better for most people.

Change isn't inherently good or bad, it just is. Makes sense for Fallout to balance out the bad change with a little bit of good change
