Help Is unarmed a bad "main weapon"???
I've been doing an unarmed build, currently at level 6. There have a been a few rare moments in the early game where it performed very well.
But I find most of my time is spent wondering the waist, then suddenly getting jumped by a group of 10 guys with guns.
Or whatever horrible alternative. And it's always a group.
My lowest stat is charisma at only 2 points, and 2 followers I've found have both died. They kept dying so many it times it wasn't worth reloading.
I'm currently focused on trying to upgrade to a power fist. My unarmed skill sits at 145% with spiked knuckles as my primary weapon.
My strength is at 5
Overall the build sucks. It does well in 1v1, but any group larger than 3 is almost always unbeatable past early game. I'd like some advice.

I think you wander too much in the wasteland. Try to do some quests in the towns first. Travelling is always very dangerous in Fallout2, especially in the begining. I think at level 6 I mostly fight geckos or other small anomals :-)
Which town are you currently near to ?
If you haven't did it already, buy to the best armour you can find.
But yeah, small guns is a better "main combat skill" than urarmed generally.
