- Every weapon that made some asplozions before (like the rocket launcher or FatMan), are now in the skill category Explosives.
It's very reminiscent of the approach he took towards the skill system in Van Buren. He would give elaborate explanations of his rationale on the old BIS forums, and the community would get into vigorous debates with him.
To expand on this for Dicksmoker:
He wanted to put all three weapons skills (Small, Big and Energy) into a single skill called Firearms. But then he would have also split Speech into two parts named Diplomacy and Deceive. So less emphasis on combat, more on various methods of solving your problem other than 'bullet to the brain'.
This info I attribute to Lexx and sarfa on NMA.
