Why weren't the soldiers in power armor able to restore order? (Fallout 4)

When loading the game, it is written that on October 23, 2077, soldiers in T-60 power armor tried to restore order. But why did they fail? From the few entries on this topic in the terminals, one can understand that looters were raging. There was no infantry. That is, REGULAR townspeople, with weapons like a pipe cutter, knife or baseball bat, wanting to rob a store or a neighbor's apartment. So what are their chances against a soldier in power armor with a minigun, or even a gatling laser? tear to shreds.

Gennady, judging by the number of topics you created, it is clear that you are interested in the world of fallout
But it seems like there are folautwiki, or whatever

Radiation is not? The soldiers themselves are not averse to engaging in looting, the state has disintegrated.

In principle, what I have described below is primitive, but still.
K. b. after the fall of the warhead, the damage was great, and the soldiers were concentrated in "hot" spots, and there were not many of them, like ants, then, of course, they could not control absolutely everything.

Because then there would be no fallout b)). In general, I advise you not to look for the logitka in the fourth part, there it is completely absent.

Yes, everything is simple - bombs fell, there were fewer soldiers than the rest of the people, and millions of mass entertainers from the crowd used the opportunity to break through cardones, take out a neighbor's things, rob already dead people, and just start a massive hunt for all types of transport, especially for the military, tk. it will obviously also protect from radiation. And if all the military were like the main character - then I understand perfectly why they could not do anything - they have a lot of foolishness in their heads when they have weapons in their hands.

Niko71790 Why
don't you like the GG-military man? I already have more than 1000 mutants and have killed more than 700 people. If all the military were like that ...

Sanya Zharenkov The
state took refuge in Washington and on the Poseidon oil rig. So the fault of the curvature of LoR and the "chosen one".
IMHO, the start of New Vegas is the most successful (you are an ordinary courier who is gaining survival skills in the wilderness, and not "the same").

They have to maintain order for 200 years in a row? Bombs fell, a select few ran into the Vaults, members of the government government, too, and the rest in every direction. http://ru.fallout.wikia.com/wiki/%D0%A3%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5_0 - a description of Vault 0, the inhabitants of which should were to restore peace after the war.

Well, judging by the records from the director's terminal in the Cambridge Polymer laboratory, in Fallout 4, the command staff survived. The director of this enterprise contacted the local general. The director asked for an evacuation, but the general told him that only military research would be evacuated. And they did not finish the work. But not the point. The bottom line is that Washington fled, but some generals and colonels stayed. Why did not they organize local military commandant's offices, and did not establish order with the help of soldiers?

Again, you have not played part 2 and are not familiar with lore.
In general, there were several reasons.
1) Most of the military were at the front in China and Alaska
2) The remnants of the US army on the mainland became the Brotherhood of Steel and in fact they chose a different goal for themselves - protecting people from technology so that the great war would not repeat itself. You probably know that some departments still tried to put things in order and so on. For example, in 3 parts.
3) The trouble was not only in the radiation but also in the huge volumes of FEV that burst out.
4) Huge monsters, ghouls and ultimately the Creator's army of Super mutants.
5) Force yourself to go through part 2. Most of the US Army was transformed into an Enclave and they would have put things in order on the mainland, if not for the second part. By the way, the X-01 power armor is the Enclave Bronch, apparently the Enclave is what they mean on loading screens when they talk about post-war units of the US Army.

but it will be possible in the second part to help the enclave, and not interfere with them? Oldfags all say that in the first two parts, freedom of choice

3.14 your oldfags are being released.
There is freedom to roleplay. Ie you can become whoever you want (slave owner, porn star), but the plot is almost linear.
Well, yes, in part 1 of the AL there are as many as 2 endings (however, only one is correct in lore), and in the second part without mods there is only one.
In any case, your choice will not affect anything for Llor.
Let me explain, the subsequent parts were developed on the basis of the good ending of part 1, and those who threw out the bad one were left behind.

Why did this inadequate from the indigenous tribe destroy the Enclave, America's hope? I helped them in Fallout 3, put their virus in a purifier. Only by destroying all mutants, you can build a new America. Clearing them out by force is too difficult, and there will be many losses. Poisoned water or gas is ideal. And then, create a new country, from Mexico to Alaska. Rebuild cities, start factories. Mutants and raiders will not attack. Dream

Well, the point is that the end does not justify the means.
In addition, they consider all people on the mainland and GG as mutants.
But yes, there are a lot of Enclave fans on the Internet.
But yes. I agree the Enclave is cool, now only the Institute can be considered its successor.

Institute-xs, except perhaps with a stretch. They dig underground and that's all. The USA does not build plans for cleansing. Not like the United States, not even the Commonwealth. Only its own bunker and that's all. Although in the 4th part, GG could well become a soldier of the Enclave-y its purely pre-war DNA, unchanged by radiation

The end does not justify the means ... But how many mutants (real) + people-raiders, sectarians, mercenaries, and others are in the wasteland. Normal, adequate people can be 10-15% of the total population of the wasteland.

Collect the soldiers' holotapes, you will find out why. Some were overwhelmed, others ran out of ammunition, power units, provisions, others were irradiated or they received injuries resulting in death. And not only on the example of soldiers, you can see how death will come to any well-armed and trained soldier or detachment. Some of the soldiers could survive and live long enough, but countries, governments, bases, bosses, friends, family, none of this remained. So what order should you restore if there is nothing left? The only thing that remains is to survive.

There are not so many super mutants left, besides, they, like ghouls, cannot reproduce, which means that sooner or later they will be killed. The number of raiders will also decline as people unite and the economy recovers.
