The next best thing to power armor-- Fallout 3

I've been wanting a good sturdy armor and all that I can think of is the power armor but I'm too far away from the mission where I can get training. Sowhat's the next best armor to power armor and whatever it is where can I get it?

Only played the 360 version but I assume they are the same...

Go for Combat Armor (especially if you are good) and pump up your repair skill (you should do this anyway). Then when the lame a** Talon Company Mercs come a calling you just cap them and use their armor to repair yours. It is fairly light and gives you good protection.

wow what the hell are you guys thinking.... everyone knows that Reilly's Rangers Combat Armour is the best besides power armour.

Use Riley's Armor (I think that is what it is called, she is the friendly mercs) you get it after saving her team. I heard it is the best non-power armor.

Whoa...where did you find that?

Tb-5 power armour you mean? I think its in Fort Constatine, and its a real **** to get. Check it up on Youtube, there's a vid there to show you how to get it...

That's what I was going to type lol

Not only that, but if you're a going around the DC City area, you have pretty much an endless supply of Combat and Talon Combat armor to repair from.
