Short Description
1. I was always tired of the most advanced personal firearms of the prewar era being pieces of junk when it came to damage, they were no more powerful than a normal side arm that fired lead; opposed to the real lore friendly prewar energy weapons that fired light that had been amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation. So I set out to fix this!
Requirements
2. A pocket full of sunshine, a glass of whole milk, and Fallout New Vegas (or the appropriate DLC)
Thorough Breakdown
3. Simply put (the irony is that this is the thorough breakdown) I increased all energy weapons damage by 10-20 depending on the caliber of the weapon, I increased the level necessary to wield them effectively by about 10-15, and decreased their spread 0. 02. Now this does not mean you will be doing 25 damage with an energy pistol from the start, the damage still scales appropriately with you energy weapons skill, but at a level 10 you'll do close to 10 damage opposed to the 6 it starts off at. At level 100 energy weapons you'll do the max amount of damage with energy weapons as you would expect; so at level 100 energy weapons with a fully repaired laser pistol, you'll do 25 damage!! Not nearly as weak as the 12 damage it did before.
NO DLC SUPPORT AT THIS TIME. LEAVE COMMENTS IF YOU WISH FOR ME TO ADD DLC OPTIONS AND A SCRIPTED INSTALLER
