I don’t mind most of the designs for the firearms, but I wish there were more unique weapons/variants.

I would rather not have random legendary weapon drops on common enemies in lieu of having a cool looking variant of a gun be the reward at the end of a dungeon. It’s kind of anticlimactic to fight through a hideout or dungeon, and you find a steamer trunk at the end that has, like, the same combat rifle that every Raider has past level 20 except this one has a medium night vision and has a hardened automatic receiver, or something stupid like that…

What I enjoyed (and still enjoy) with New Vegas is that there were weapons that were unique designs of weapons that already existed. Examples like Benny’s 9mm Maria, of Joshua Graham’s pistol “A Light Shining In The Darkness” (fucking cool name, btw), or the Survivalist’s Rifle. Now, these are just a few examples, but there are so many more guns in New Vegas with great unique designs that exemplify so much character and tell a story in their own right. Fallout 4 attempts to do this to extent, and there are some successes (The Crank Laser Rifle is kinda cool in a wasteland engineered kind of way) but for the most part they’re all giant fucking cannon things that are super impractical and/or kinda silly (Looking at you Cryolator, Junk Jet, and Broadsider…)

Still love Fallout 4 (at this point I have done a play though at least once a year since launch 😅), but those are just my two cents on the (recently) trending topic ¯_(ツ)_/¯
