in stuff like charisma for amazing buy and sell prices, lone wanderer, local leader etc. so i restarted and put the points where they should be. so my first character that i had planned on making a crit sneak character went down the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ real quick. also i realized for a sneak ranged character luck was ♥♥♥♥ because theres no random crits anymore and perception was ass besides lockpicking because you have better accuracy holding your breath AND better range using a scoped weapon yourself than VATS.

No my "first" playthrough lasted about 3 hours when i realized i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and charisma was actually amazing compared to fnv and fo3 where you could just max speech or barter. I couldn't imagine doing melee only because I havnt experienced all the cool guns in fallout 4. Is this your first playthrough? In fallout games I always do a general build and mostly all types of weapons that have different ammo. in luck almost all the top tier perks are worth it for a melee vats character. especially when the only melee perk that i would benefit from in strength (past 4 strength) would be rooted.

also with so much AP with 9 agility, using blitz, and being in vats for the majority of combat luck seemed like a better option than strength. my starting strength was low because i considered stuff like grim reaper sprint and better criticals in luck to be more important than the extra strength damage. Only melee strength perks you need are blacksmith, big leagues and armorer.
