What would be really cool is if there's hybrid guns - part ballistic, part energy, so a normal bullet charged with plasma energy for example.

Re watched the video and yeah it does looks like it,it has 32 for what seems ballistic and 32 for energy.
And I'm really hoping for a laser gun with a constantly streaming laser beam instead of being individually-fired lasers...now THAT I would use.
Yes we have, Size Matters is the strength level 5 perk which governs effectiveness with big guns.
Well there isn't a perk that seems to be for energy weapons either; the idea is that perks go by weapon category - unarmed, melee, pistols, fully auto, rifles/shotguns (possibly separate perks), explosives, and big guns...so a plasma rifle and hunting rifle would be affected by rifleman. Do you have any other explanation? I'd love to hear it, but nothing else makes as much sense so far. The perk in question here strongly resembles big guns from Fallout 3 yet there is no perk that resembles energy weapons, but perhaps you have an idea of what else would affect big guns if not the one that looks a lot like the big guns perk.
edit: And no, I'm not paying attention to orcz and I've been against that site's speculation since I first saw it. But when you say the orcz version, realize that every wiki I've seen thinks it's big guns too.
Energy weapons all the way. nothing beats turning enemies into piles of ash or goo.
if possible i will have a laser sniper rifle since lasers are much easier to hit distant targets with.
my ideal setup will be:
(Long range)
Laser sniper
(Mid Range)
laser/plasma rifles
laser chainguns (gattlings)
(Short range)
Plasma Scattergun (shotgun)
multi-laser rifle
That's perception 7, and while I can't guess what else it could be it doesn't make sense to me to depict a perk for energy weapons - an outgoing skill - with a picture of a green incoming wave hitting vault boy's glowing body or anything besides holding an energy weapon. Not a really logical conjecture.
But from just watching the weapon modding part of the E3 video, there were only two types of weapon damage: energy damage from energy weapons and physical damage from weapons using bullets and melee, where plasma was half physical, half energy damage.
Well to me it all adds up, and I doubt they'd mess it up so much that it's confusing. But if strength 5 isn't big guns, which would make sense since it would require halfway decent physical brawn to handle big guns, then perhaps it's weapon handling like in Fallout 2, Tactics, and New Vegas - but, Bethesda did skip strength requirements in 3 so it's iffy.
I personally found the strenght requirement for certain weapons ridiculous. You can lug about with tons of crap but you cant hold a sniper rifle in prone with strenght 5, without taking a precision hit. Silly, because you would use anything possible to steady the weapon and you would go to a lie up position.
Well, one important detail...we've never been able to go prone in any past game. But for my playstyle, I hope we can this time around.
Sorry, by outgoing I meant the player is acting upon someone else, such as striking with a bat or shooting a bullet, whereas incoming would be radiation, or being attacked. The way I was meaning to put it is that the weapon categories affect outgoing things, such as damage we do with that bat or bullet.
But I did just look at orcz and the pictures placement is correct it seems, and they make it clear which are confirmed, which are just likely, and which are total speculation. Most sites agree with each other, but I by far prefer the Fallout wikia because they don't really mess around with speculation much.
Guns,
Bolt Action rifles that resemble the Hunting Rifle
Preferably a revolver and a combat knife for backup, hope those are both in.
obvi. Planning out my super trick shot, Going to jump off a tower do a 360, pull up my pip boy and equip my rifle, reverse 360, save game, reload game and headshot my target right before I pancake on the ground and die, no point in living after you accomplish the greatest feat ever. Its pretty original and makes me feel unique.
