>>5240560I imagine the covert bionics are both:
-More expensive, due to having to hide
-Depending on the make, less or more effective. If its using standard everyday tech, then obviously an arm that tries to look like an arm isn't gonna be as strong as an arm that doesn't care if it looks like a hydraulic claw.
Now, the really REALLY good stuff from Dark Age times might be able to beat out all of them, but of course that stuff is rare and might require rediscovery or the hand of Talos to figure out.
In any case, Talos is a genetor. He has the powers to improve both steel and flesh! And after all, synth-flesh is one of our big goals. Especially since Ferrus Manus is next on the list (and we are probably going to just FAWN over his arms)
