Which is your favorite and why?

To each his own; but I figure that in a post- apocalyptic environment, energy weapons would be hard to come by and next to impossible for poorly educated locals or barbarians to maintain or replace. Big guns? I've always perceived ops by the LW or Courier to those of a lightly armed scout of sorts, and I've never seen moving around the wastes in heavy armor and a gatling laser, a minigun, or a rocket launcher as viable. But that's just me. Explosives, throwing, and melee are all used by me to somewhat limited extent. Unarmed? I like to kill them before they get that close; shotguns for close encounters.

Small guns is my usual.. But I am trying to make energy weapons my most important

1. Small Guns

2. Energy

3. Big Guns

Small guns since energy weapons leave immortal ash piles on 360

It depends of the intend :

- Have a wide range of weapons : Small guns

- Have weapons effective agains't endgame ennemies : Energy or Big Guns.

- Use unlikely weapons : Throwing weapons. Got a lot of fun trying to kill npc with rocks & gold nuggets in Fonline.

(crit based character, hoping to do instant-kill with no damage. Damn just put back combat description NOW)

I've really only used small guns, my preference being revolvers and lever action rifles. Sometimes I lob a few grenades around. I've never made an energy weapons build, I must try that.
