No that isn't unnatural the same happened to me.

Heck I never scrap my weapons (a shame because that was my entire reason for collecting them >_< and getting the scrapper SPECIAL)

What helps is that... there is actually very little weapon variety when you get down to it... and because all armor is either "worse or better" you can just ignore it until you upgrade it.

Then there is Power Armor but because its defenses are so high... generally speaking the starting power armor is already kind of more then enough for the rest of the game.

Very little weapon variety...?
There's more guns than Fallout 3, and modifications can change specialise them towards on path or another.

What are you even talking about with armour? 'Worse or better' seems to rather cover the spectrum.

[majikero]

Power armor has it's own health so it needs maintenance to really keep that defense high lest you forget and end up just walking around with an exo-suit.

After that fight with the deathclaw when you first get the armor, I lost the legs to bloatflies.

Well... because every weapon is 3 other weapons.

It means that there are 5 you will ever need.

[majikero]

All you need is a combat shotgun with explosive effect to take on the world. Or a minigun with explosive effect to be extra badass.

Besides how many pistols are there in fallout 4? 2

The best are some weapons get outdated as soon as you get them. Institute weapons? worse then laser and immediately outdated.

[majikero]

Pipe pistol, revolver, bolt action. Laser, plasma, the revolver, 10mm and the other 10mm.

I think that's about it.

I think that's about it.

Pipe, Pipe revolver, Laser, and Plasma are weapons that span into other categories. I usually count it as rifle that modifies into a pistol... since the vast majority of them are rifles AND because it is just slight modifications anyway.

10mm and the other 10mm are the same weapon.

So 2...

Laser makes a superior pistol though. Long barrel + gunslinger= super accurate VATS since it gets past 350 in range.

Depends. I find Laser makes a far better rifle for non-vats attacking... even better then the pistol.

While the pistol's ability to shoot many times in one full AP bar, really helps.

The institute weapons are the most disappointing though. It is a clone of laser except "not as good"

[GiglameshDespair]

Just because they can also be turned into rifles doesn't mean they're not pistols...

I want to avoid double counting

Because really the only difference between the laser rifle as a rifle and as a pistol is its name. Maybe a few stats but fundamentally they are the same weapon and the differences are only for the SPECIAL perks.

[majikero]

Institute weapons are supposed to be faster firing/less damage laser which translates to shitty waste of ammo. Its also fugly xbox huge and scraps into worthless plastic.

Doesn't help that the laser is already so fast that the damage hit really isn't needed.

[Graknorke]

Wasn't the point of the weapon system in FO4 that there is a base weapon per ammo type that you then modify into whatever specific configuration you'd want?
