Unarmed/Melee in the original Fallout ?

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Fallout 2 had the awesome kung fu tournament thingy in SF. That alone made me play a purely unarmed character. But other than that it looks silly being in heavy armour and punching people in the face (unless you planned on walking around the whole game with the badass one sleeved leather vest).

That's because when you have Power Armor you should also have a Power Fist.

I never tried melee/unarmed pc in FO1, but in FO2 my Science Boy only combat skill was unarmed because with PE1 he could't hit a barnwall with a gun. Still most fights were done by companions, so it's not a pure case.
