That's Power Armour (specifically Brotherhood of Steel Power Armour) and yes you do. You'll encounter the BoS throughout the game. You'll probably see a couple of dead soldiers when you're in the DC ruins. However, you can't actually wear the armour until you've got power armour training. That will come later on in the main quest though.
Sweet, thanks! Is is the best body armor in the game?
Definitely. I'm a huge fan of New Vegas (my third favourite game of all time), so yeah if you like this game you really should pick it up.
It's similar bit very different at the same time. It runs on the same engine, has a lot of the same enemies/guns/items/menu interface/stats etc; however it's subtly very different. New Vegas is more user friendly in my opinion, it's much easier at the start to get items and caps and it will set you off in a linear direction. After the first couple of hours though, the game opens up and actually feels a lot more vast than the Capitol Wasteland. There's more locations and it has much more variety in my opinion. The game also is more centered around factions and your relationship with them rather than being based around "this decision is either objectively good or bad" which is why I didn't like the karma system in Fallout 3.
It has a completely different atmosphere and tone as well. F3 is more desolate and feels like everyone is scraping by whereas NV shows more civilisations and people seem, generally, better off. It's a lot more tongue-in-cheek with its humour rather than that depressing feel that F3 had. Both are great games, but the subtle changes make NV much better imo, buy it decide for yourself though because the Fallout community is pretty polarised on which is better.
Is it true you can't continue playing after beating the game?
