WAR NEVER CHANGES

“I may be biased in saying this as an unarmed scientist, but New Vegas was honestly way better at handling weapons than Fallout 4. Almost all of the weapons follow the same exact theme: Semi, automatic, scatter, and mixes of two out of three. The only exception to the wide majority of the weapons is the Plasma-thrower mod. All of the lasers are red, unless it’s the institute’s… but those weapons have just about no advantages to standard laser. Meanwhile, in Vegas, your lasers were red, blue, green, automatic, scattering, recharging. Damage was as high as the ammo consumption, or as fast as you could dish it out. 

Power fists, a staple of the series, are just punchy in Fallout 4. In New Vegas, the were punchy-boomy, punchy-zappy, punchy-shooty, punchy, or a whirling buzzsaw of critical pain. 

All of these weapons were special, all of them helped define your character. Want Pew Pew? You’d need 50 star bottle caps.Want an Industrial Hand? You’d have to brave the insanity of the Divide. When it comes to unarmed, why use anything but the Furious Powerfist? Rifleman? You either use a Two-shot Gauss Rifle or sit around with a rifle that does three points of additional poison damage.

Now, you just have to stomp the right bug and hope for the best.”

I made postcards you guys! Tiny stiff from games I like, some choice selections from Zelda, some finest pickings from Fallout, and interesting specimens from Bloodborne.
