In FO1 & 2 you would start with say, small guns and later in the game, if you wanted energy weapons, you would tag energy weapons, but would not tag energy weapons at the start, expecting to be able to rely on them for your entire playthrough. In FO1 & 2 you wouldn't even get your first laser weapon until 1/4 of the way into it practically, and they weren't that superior to other combat specs until much later into the game. It seems to me that energy weapons are going back to how they were in fallout 1 & 2, that is to say they are more of a support weapon spec to compliment your other choice and aren't to be fully relied upon until much later in the game.

But this problem already existed in FO3 as well, I think there where mods that solved this problem. Aren't lasers SUPPOSED to go through all types of armor, expect Combat Armor and Power Armor? Its a bit of a anachronism that energy based weapons are less effective then bullet based ones. I also do not understand the whole 'lasers can go through armor' thing. On the other hand, energy weapons are the most advanced weapons in the Fallout world and should do more damage. If New Vegas is supposed to play more like the classic Fallout games, then I can see why the energy weapons are not very good to begin with. I noticed that when I used the Classic Fallout Weapons pack for FO3 and the FO2 Laser pistol did less damage then the regular FO3 laser pistol.

Would it help to create a mod that adds new types of energy weapons into the game and mod the already existing ones? Thing is, I looked over the damage the energy weapons did in Fallout 1 and 2 as well as 3 and I have to say that in FO1 and 2 the energy weapons where not that powerful. Josh Lozier Posts: 3490 Joined: Tue 5:20 pm I also view the homogenous ammo supply as a DISADVANTAGE given that most vendors have a tiny amount of MF cells and ECPs compared to the Guns ammo they have, and how fast Energy Weapons burn ammo, it's not a good situation. THAT's a problem.ДЄs far as the Tesla-Beaton Prototype goes, I think 10-15 ammo a shot would be more reasonable. Stuff like the plasma and laser rifle are not viable lategame because they are overshadowed by their stronger counterparts, and yet they're far too weak to be used at the stage in the game for which they are intended. Thing is, there are energy weapons now that are SUPPOSED to be useful mid-game.

(The fact that the Energy Weapon skill includes guns of such great variety as Flamers, the Pulse Gun, Gauss Rifles, and the Alien Blaster shouldn't be overlooked as well)

This is how they were in the first two games as well, you'll recall.Д®nergy weapons are meant to be powerful end-game treats.

Early on, they're pretty close to worthless.

IF they are maxed out, they are DEFINITELY useful, and you can certainly utilize them to great effect but only in the end-game. The main advantages to Energy Weapons at that point are high-critical damage, low AP costs, and homogenous ammo supplies (You can have a lot of different types of guns all running off the same ammo type, very convenient). You need 100 Science skill to convert regular energy ammo into max charge, however. As someone above pointed out, if and ONLY if you use MAX CHARGE ammo will you be able to have energy weapons that compare to (and in some respects exceed) end-game guns.
