Question, sorry if spoilers....
If Walton was aware of the weak spot in the armor in the finale, why didnt he exploit that when he first fought Maximus?
I was wondering why not just pull the power core from the armor when fighting them? That's a poor design having them in the back like that.
You're starting to overthink a show based on a video game. That's the same logic I've seen others on YouTube try to use when overly criticizing this show, and then mocking those of us who point to it being a video game.
The point is, Fallout is not JUST a video game. It is a video game with dark humor and satire at its core. It is meant to be ridiculous. The showrunners are leaning into this without doing that hokey "look into the camera and wink" crap. For example, the use of the stimpak to heal Dogmeat in Ep2. He is literally stabbed in the chest and about to die. One stimpak and he's back up and ready to go.
That's how the game works. Your leg is broken, your arm is broken, you have a severe concussion... you name it. Pop a stimpak and you are better. Drink too much irradiated water in the wasteland? Take a Radaway.
This adaptation is not mean as a "what if Fallout were real? Let's make a show that makes this game realistic." This show is adapted much like how the One Piece live action show was adapted... a literal adaptation from the source material.
Why is the power core easy to remove? Because you have to replace those damn things when they run out of power. Also, it looks cool when you pop it in. Also, the power armor is not meant to be used in a situation where you are completely surrounded. They are meant to be used like they are in the last episode, as the "tank" in a squad of soldiers surrounding it for support. You are also forgetting that the squire had a key to remove the power armor. That couldn't have been done by any Joe-blow.
