1) No one is forcing you to use energy weapons. You are just given an energy weapon to start with, and nothing prevents you from killing the raiders near Raven Rock and picking up a hunting rifle or two.

2) Broken Steel's assets are not used by default. They will be utilized later, since we will likely want to use its Enclave bases. About the ending of the mod, for now it ends at the purifier since the originally intended 5 main quests end there. But it will not be permanent and the story will continue as we proceed further in the mod.

Question, because you didnt mention it, but isn't the Eagle has Landed still incompatible with FWE? Or has this changed?
