Carrot of Truth
War is Peace
Honestly? An HK G11 would have been and improvement and would not look out of place. The Freestar Lawgiver would have been better off as an energy weapon. Because wood does not conduct heat as well. It's why you have wood on the RPG-7. Anyway. The Lawgiver works by way of a revolver cylinder holding 6 bullets.
My thinking was replace that with a Fallout style fusion cell. It is also a cylinder thus making it an energy rifle. Viola an old west laser rifle.
But the big problem isn't the creation engine....it's the fact they had the brain fart to make it as open world and replayable as possible at the cost of gameplay and missions. Compare Starfield to Skyrim.
From what I understand Bethesda itself was hardly even involved with development and instead contracted most stuff out to a bunch of shitty companies.
