thanks for the help

Err....what are you looking for? SPECIAL build? Perk build? Skill build? Quest preference? Weapon to get? General fighting strategy?

I'm guessing high Agility (stealth and action points), Perception (to aid in avoiding explosives and seeing enemies early), and Endurance (for hp and unarmed skill). Then tag Sneak, Unarmed, and another skill (like Guns or Explosives).

Maybe call him Michael Weston or some other spy name.

Sneak 100
Unarmed 100

a little bit of everything

Sneaking up on things to use melee or unarmed is very hard and in some cases impossible. I would go with projectile weaponry.

Using melee or unarmed is indeed not for every situation, so I suggest investing some points into guns as well. The way this game is made, almost every character would do well to put some points into guns.
