The thermal lance from fallout new vegas was a really powerful weapon.

Absolutely love sniping. It seems there's going to be more interesting melee weapon combat in this game though, so might be high time I actually make a melee character in a Fallout game, as character number 5 or something along those lines.

I will try to eventually get my character to become a sniper expert, but I would start of as a rifleman med-range.

Stealthy with a silenced pistol.

Either small arms or energy weapons, whichever feels better once the i'm actually playing. That being said, energy weapon customization looks about as amazing as the laser musket.

Guns all the way. If it's not raining bullets, I'm doing something wrong.

How I use them however depends on what I can do with what's in the armory. Gun customization will be a big thing for me here and I like lots of options. I might drop a weapon if I can't design it to my tastes.

I always play games with stealth when possible

Silenced Pistol (called Jade)

Sniper (Called Alyssa)

Proxy Mines

Shotgun for when things go wrong and I misjudge a situation (Called Charlette)

I dislike machine guns in games like this because they go against the narrative of low resources, struggling to survive. In a game like this you should need to make every bullet count machine guns result in a lot of wasted bullets

Plan on running a double barrel boomstick with light armor, sneak up on groups of enemies and blow em away. After I do a playthrough or two my usual way I may, for the first time in a fallout game, do an energy weapons playthrough, they look interesting this time around

Charm, baby. Ring-a-ding.

If that doesn't work, there's always energy weapons. Hey, it leaves less of a mess.

Very wise - some bad guys just need killing (the world is/will be a better place without them (particularly raiders, slavers, rapists etc.))...people being conflicted about killing people who aren't criminals (just because they oppose you) is fine, but agonizing over killing terrorists/criminals isn't IMHO! Same for killing to protect your own life (why feel guilty if the other person thought it was ok to try and take you out?)

Well, for me it's going to be a mix of mid- to long-range combat (unless I am in building and can't snipe/attack from a distance) using rifles (with a scope at best!), energy weapons and handguns (I am not that into heavy weapons though I do like miniguns/gattling-lasers

An intelligent tank, using intelligence to bulid better armor and weapons and taking hit then dishing them out.

My favorite play through is the unarmed/ melee play through even if it's the least effective maybe that's the reason I love it so much

Anything and everything.

I'm thinking more about power armor + melee. Power assisted swings? Home run every time!

Save the ordinance for harder targets.

Shotgun to head and/or genitals.

As elegantly as possible, and I'll definitely use melee weapons against opponents who also wield them.

Firearms of all kinds. I like guns a wholllle lot.

Probably let my companies distract the bad guys while I Sprint round their side get to point blank range and just unload he'll apon them. with a shotgun or something les with lots of stopping power.

Stealth based sniping.

Like a mad man

i usually do a mix of things i like to sneak up to mobs and place explosives on them and i also like to snipe sentries out of their little perch above the action to avoid detection.

But most of the time i run with a good pistol or energy weapon.

My first character will be scavenging everything and making all of his own weapons. I'm thinking a decently powerful pistol for close range, an automatic or semi-auto rifle for further out and a sniper for long range. So a bit of everything, really.

If I can't talk my way out of a fight, I plan on showing all my enemies the beautiful power of buckshot and an angry german shepard.
