The new mechanic of fusion cores kind of sucks though. It's not fun having to manage the 20 minute batteries.
In the original, armor made a big difference. The Bethesda games suffer from bad HP/damage systems. In the original it made you nearly immune to small arms fire and lasers. It was a big deal.
If they wanted to have the stupid minigun death claw sequence early on, they should've had you find just the frame. No armor, just the ability to use heavy weapons.
Now you can keep power armor cool, and still do the stupid intro gimmick.
Or have the set on the roof damaged so it can't walk.
Anything other than fusion cores would probably be better.
