In FNV I remember killing my first raider leader and getting my first hunting rifle, getting my first hunting revolver in the REPCONN facility or finding the All American at the end of a vault infested by gouls. What's the problem with this? The problem is that it kills for me all the fun of exploration. Can we imagine that in FNV the cow boy repeater was the rifle that you would use during all the game? In Fallout 4 you are just going to improve your rifle each time you get the chance to improve your gun nut perk.ДЇor a character based on standart firearms, once you have your hunting rifle, your combat shotgun and your combat rifle you basically have the weapons for the rest of the game and you can get those at level 15 so it is very early. For exemple you find the first hunting rifle around level 7 and for a sniper character this weapon will be your weapon for the rest of the game. You don't get new weapons you just improve them over time. Instead of adding new weapons Bethesda chose the economical way.

I took the exemple of rifles but every kind of weapon works. In toal there is 4.ДЇallout New Vegas had the BB gun, the varmint rifle, the cow boy repeater, the hunting rifle, the trail carabine, the brush gun, the sniper rifle and the anti materiel rifle. What was supposed to be a good feature ends up being an excuse to removea lot of weapons.ДЇor example, if we take the slow firing rifles or bolt action rifles there is the pipe bolt-action rifle, the pipe revolver with a rifle stock, the hunting rifle and the gauss rifle.

The main reason why there is so few weapons is because the crafting system. Makes a ton of sense, since Deathclaws have been known to be incredibly fast, deadly, and agile in rushing towards their prey, making ranged fire incredibly difficult to next-to impossible. In fact, it makes more sense of it to be a military designed weapon than what Fallout 4 had in mind for it (A fucking construction tool?.really, Bethesda? When the sledgehammer or super sledge exist? Jesus christ), a sign that the Military most likely designed the Power Fist and Mega Power Fists as a counter-response to Deathclaws, just in case any of the pre-war beasts got out of hand and ended up killing everyone and everything, ally or foe. Power fists were not ridiculous design, dummy, they were designed and implemented for Power Armor use, a person in Power Armor and with the left and right arm servos having a Power Fist installed was basically an unstoppable killing machine in close-quarters combat, rivaling that of the mighty Deathclaw. Closest thing I can see something like in 'modern' fallout games would be the Unique Displacer Glove, Pushy in NV. Makes a ton of sense, since Deathclaws have been known to be incredibly fast, deadly, and agile in rushing towards their prey, making ranged fire incredibly difficult to next-to impossible.ДЄlso, I definitely prefer Fallout 1/2's design of the Power Fist and not 3, NV and especially F4's, as sounds incredibly powerful as an Unarmed weapon that emits a powerful energy blast upon contact as well as boosting the already formidable punching power of a Power-Armored user.
