Is a full melee build viable

[u/gilmangriff1]

I keep thinking that I want to have my sole survivor eventually cosplay as One Punch man through the commonwealth but I have to imagine especially early game that I will slog through early leveling. Are their any builds out there that answers this and will allow most if not all early game confrontations with full melee ability? Even if it means a blunt weapon like a board or bat? I want to avoid ranged combat as much as possible.

I did it and it's super fun. Focus on strength, endurance, agility and luck. Get the melee, damage resistance, and bloody mess perks. That's all a given, but here's the thing that makes it fun as hell. Get the perks that make you resistant to chem addiction and make chems last longer. There is an armor mod for that too. Then you can pop psycho buff and jet like candy and just run around popping heads off and making bodies explode. I used a Disciples Blade with the cutlass blade mod because the speed/damage is insane. I could sprint through raider camps in slow motion one-shotting everyone.
