So i've maxed out evrything essential, EW, Science, lockpick, speech...

Now I need a secondary weapon skill. I'm deciding berween unarmed and explosive. I'm also playing on hardcoe mode if that makes a difference.

i would pick explosives but it depends what you like and how you play.

I like to watch things go boom, so explosives.

If you want to maintain your EW style than take unarmed and get a displaced glove or zap glove basically energy fists.
