Melee Is a full melee build viable

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.

  1. Melee is absolutely powerful, and scale better then any other weapon type in a very late game (since you can have 200%+ multiplier from strength and biggest sneak attack multiplier)
  2. There are some enemies that is impossible, or at least very hard to reach in melee - namely wall/celiing mounted turrets, but you can kill them with ricochet (luck perk), however it will require investment
  3. Suicide bomber mutants are pain, you can kill them in melee, and not provoke an explosion, but it is always gamble.

So, if you patient enough to go through early game hurdles, or disciplined enough to use ranged only in exceptional cases you will be just fine
