Hi, is it possible to start a new game using mostly energy weapons? They seem to be more rare at the start of the game, ammo aswell. Would it be a tricky start?

Somewhat but not impossible

Just use small guns until you get your energy weapons score up and find some.

There are laser pistols in the Super Duper Mart. On the counter at the front of the store in the right hand corner as you're coming in. Keeping them in ammo might be a tad tricky.

You can do The Replicated Man quest and get one of the best energy weapons in the game as a reward as soon as you can get to Rivet City. I'd recommend taking a combat shotgun with you if you have one. Once the Enclave is on the scene, you'll have no troubles keeping yourself stocked with ammo and spares for repairs.

Alright, not sure I will try it, using another class weapon too would be easier.


Will I need any points in small guns for that?

Energy Weapons will do fine. You go to Rivet City and do "Replicated Man", and you get the A3-21 rifle and 40 MF cells. The Rivet City merchants will have a few more. That will get you to the Mechanist's lair (whether doing "Replicated Man" or not) and you'll get 60 or 80 more. That will get you far enough into the game where the merchants will start carrying them.
