Unless I was doing a BoS Paladin playthrough..I never had a reason too up my energy weapons. Just sooo well. There's laser..or plasma. haha just so uninteresting. But now this Holorifle is just so awesome! Anyone else feel they have a reason now?

I can not say i have yet, i tried energy weapons on a few characters in FO3 and FONV and well i just can not get into the whole shooting people with a flashlight. Granted the flash light is designed to burn holes in things but they are meh as far as i am concerned. I have always been a gun man myself, (i have quite a real world collection going back 20 years since i bought my first m1911), and i have not figured out the whole reload angle on energy weapons this is important to me as i am the type of player who just gets wet at the prospect of crafting anything.

Hmm, you do have pulse, tesla and fire in New Vegas as well.

Yep. Well, i had to max out EW anyways, because there was nowhere else to put my surplus skill points, but the holorifle is beastly. I'd even go as far as to say it's OP back in the wasteland, but pretty much everything you bring back is like that so i guess it's cool.
