Cool! Energy pistols!
Wait, why do no Energy PDWs exist? What about Energy Rifles?
Discuss.

Because of technical limitations, every weapon needs a sprite sheet for every char in the game, redoing animations and going back to older chars takes a lot of development time that we didn't have.

Well.... Thanks for the honest response.

Actually, not every character would need to be updated. Just character models used by player and any enemy characters that would use such weapon.
Still, it is kind weird that energy weapons are limited to pistols.

Honestly I don't see this as a problem. Shotguns weren't put in exactly for the same reason I believe.
Still, I'm sure that new weapons, psi abillities, feats, and extra story content can easily be added later with either modding or DLC.

I guess pistols could get away with regular pistol user graphics, while same would not fit for energy rifles, which just do not look like assault rifles.
