Fallout 3 Article: Small pistolas Versus Energy Weapons

Laser Rifle

What type of weapon should tu use: Small pistolas o energy weapons?
Well, Energy Weapons are certainly más commonplace in the Capital Wasteland than the Small Guns. Sure, both are very easy to find, but the easiest type of weapon to find are the energy weapons, with the Laser Pistol available early on at the Super Duper Mart. Protectrons and robots are easy sources of energy weapon ammo, as well as the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel. Energy weapons are por far most accurate, durable, and have higher criticals.
Small guns, in the other hand, are significantly más powerful. A conventional Assault rifle is más harmful - in terms of damage - and can hold its own even against the más powerful Plasma Rifle.
In conclusion, Energy Weapons is the best option in order to survive más easily out there. It has many más advantages than the Small pistolas - even though Small pistolas tend to have a higher damage- and is easy to find. In other words, tu won't have to worry about running out of weapons when tu are using an Energy Weapon.

revilomagnifico Right two points: 1. Energy weapons are better for higher levels due to their availability, but not at lower levels because they are more scarce than the common place small guns. 2. Small guns and energy weapons are almost equal on damage, if you figure in the energy weapons higher critical hit chance. Therefore it is all down to personal preference, like all of the games decisions. Also most weapons in the game are quite underpowered compared to explosives and big guns, although both of these are the rarer and more costly, they pack the required punch to overcome these worries later in the game.

PePs95 I completely agree. Well observed - energy weapons are rarer at lower levels than higher levels. Thats because if you are in a high level - considering you've followed and worked on the main quest - you have more contact with the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel soldiers and robots, which carry energy weapons.

Bethesda stated it would be working on Fallout 3 in July 2004,[5] but principal development did not begin until after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was completed.[6] Bethesda announced their intention to make Fallout 3 similar to the anterior two games, focusing on non-linear game play, a good story, and true "Fallout humor." Bethesda also stated the game is targeted for a rating of M for Mature, and would have the same sort of adult themes and violence that are characteristic of the Fallout series. Fallout 3 uses a version of the same Gamebryo engine as Oblivion, and was developed por the...
