And Melee in F2 is FAR from useless. You just need good resistances, and it is perfectly viable to beat the game with melee only. (And why not do it, when for a certain quest some 150% unarmed is required.)

And due to critical failures you miss a lot. And just to mention, the Luck score is involved in ALL random-roll in the game, so YES it DO effect your normal fail-rate.

I never fought in random encounters, and still reached level 24 every time in F1. Maybe you should have do the SIDEQUESTS too, not just the major quests, as those are what makes a the game really fun.
Also in F2 from the quests some level 24-32 (if my memory don't fail me) is achievable without using the exp-bug in NCR.

Finally I don't care in single walkthroughs. I usually grab all the avaiable ones, and that nets you with the right infos, as people tend to leave things out due to fail of memory or lazyness. That is especially true for F2.

It may be viable, but it's useless, nothing does as much damage as Unarmed and nothing causes the same criticals and crippling blows as Unarmed does in the Melee spectrum. It's useless, it's the only weapon skill that doesn't at least do something interestingly from the others enough to make it worth playing.

That's semantics, also the amount that Luck factors into other abilities is negligible, so you might as well not mention it at all.
It is not possible to reach level 24 doing all the quests in Fallout 1 or 2, it isn't, you can say that however much you want, but nearly the whole community of NMA would agree with me, and it's been discuss limitless times in threads where people have mentioned grinding to get perks such as Slayer in Fallout 2, which in that game is a level 24 perk, so no, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Also Per's guide is the most comprehensive, I don't see why you'd slum around on guides with terrible information that most likely HAVE been stolen from Per's guide but whatever, the information in Per's guide is correct, the information is the most useful, and the guide is considered by the community to be the best. I don't see where there's a question here regarding which is objectively better since well, there isn't anything better than Per's guide when it comes to Fallout.
