Is "Energy weapons" worth it?

[Sclera]

Currently I have 1 Plasma Pistol. Should I upgrade the skill "Energy weapons"? Is it worth it? Or is that better to just focus on other things? Is it totally viable to just play with other types of guns? Thank you!

would you call it "necessary"? (just trying to get ideas about how the game will go)

I thnk you can make most methods work if you do it right

Btw, is it worth to develop any skill beyond 100 points? Especially combat related ones?

Worth it? Yes

Necessary? Not really.

In theory you can get away with any "build" in Fallout but that doesn't mean a) it won't be harder, perhaps significantly b) it won't require meta-gaming or other sort of "trick" which requires specific knowledge about the game.

The strongest weapons in the game all require top tier energy weapon skill, expensive and heavy energy ammo, and high strength to wield.

If you ignore energy completely, your best end game weapons will be combat shotgun (small guns), rocket launcher (big guns), and super sledge (melee).

Over 100% weapon skill is good for doing aimed shots to the eyes at max weapon range and also helps negate the low light penalty to accuracy.
