Thanks for any experience or advice you can offer. If worst comes to worst I'll simply stick to what I know and wait for the 'Tag!' perk before switching over or not use them at all, though that seems like a bit of a shame. I either find them all at once, at which point I'm already halfway through the game and therefore have invested in other things, or there's just no ammo available for the limited selection I do find. but any similar development from the other weapon categories seems to be noticeably absent. I appreciate the development of Small Guns - 9mm available early on, better weapons as you go, etc. I can understand how some of the more advanced weaponry would be quite overpowered early on, but Small Guns can frequently take a character all the way from Klamath to the endgame while the others cannot.

Depending on what you are using the other guns might be OK. The restoration mod changes ammo a bit so the other guns vary. The Gauss and Caseless SMG are limited ammo late game gun options. from the beginning and somehow make it work? So yeah of small arms a.223 and P90c are decent guns. In this safe you'll find-amongst other goodies-the Hat of the People, a unique bit of headware that gives a +5 bonus to Small Guns, and by far the most. My question is: do any of you choose Big Guns, Energy Guns, Throwing etc. seems to be the first place where you can realistically attain a decent supply of them). at some point in my character's development I typically wait until I have the 'Tag!' perk and then I'll throw it on the new weapon skill of choice as those types of guns and their respective ammo become more available (Navarro etc.

I have completed numerous runs with Small Guns, Unarmed or Melee Weapons as my primary skill but have not found a full run viable whatsoever for some of the others.

Hi - I've been playing FO1 and 2 for several years now (haven't played any of the other titles yet) and while I love the games to death, one thing has always presented itself as quite a difficulty for me the Big Guns and other less 'universal' combat skills that seem to be highly situational.
