No, thats a good idea I found out that a sniper works really well though and that you can shoot him it just can take awhile with out armor peirceing bullets, so he isn't over powered.
I used a .50 Anti-Materiel rifle, boosted with a few psycho's, a few jets and some steady. Walked to a place where I wasn't detected and VATS'ed him with a sneak attack critical. Took away 75% of his HP with the first shot, lady luck popped out and [censored] him up, and I finished him off with a second shot while he was on the ground.
