I was on a energy weapons build for my first character (about level 8) and had just got the C-Finder killsat and was happily wandering round near the edge of the Vegas area, when Oh [censored] I see a deathclaw and it's young. But AHAH! I think, what about using this new toy as I've seen what this can do to fiends. As the deathclaw realises my presence and starts charging I'm aiming and watching the targeting lasers.
BOOM
"Haha svck on that" I cry and laugh joyously, only to watch in horror as the Deathclaw stands up,
No followers, no guns better than my newly acquired mostly broken laser rifle with a scope and soon followed by no hit-points as I panicked and watched myself die.
