I keep thinking about a Fallout 4 mod I'd love to make (but alas I lack all the necessary skills)
Pistol, Shotgun, Various Rifles. All just sticks that look kind of like those weapons.
The sounds? Your character saying "Bang! Bang bang bang" "Boom! Ch-Ch. Boom" and "Ratatatatatat" etc
The upgrades would be stats only, no visual changes, but their descriptions would be like "Say boom louder for more damage" or "Say 'fut' for a silent attack" which would inexplicably need the relevant perks, obviously
There could be energy versions, that are just the regular sticks with red or blue lights for lasers, and green for plasma. The sounds would instead be "Pew pew" and.. whatever sound a Fallout Plasma weapon makes
If anyone reading this has the skills and desire to make this. Please.
