we need a melee so we can get enemies to be pushed back and stumble. say u are killing with an Ak-47 and one is up on top of you(not literaly) and u need them to back up and regain some health. one click and they are pushed back possabliy even fall.

I always thought melee was one of the weakest aspects of Fallout and it is the ONE AND ONLY area where it should take some cues from Skyrim.

The most glaring is no shields. Seriously, tribals hacking/bludgeoning at each other with makeshift weapons would quickly start piecing together shields from scrap.

sheild no but armor yes.

i had a new mix armor thing on the suggestions and ideas but lets not do that here

Maybe with a high enough melee skill you would be able to 'finish' knocked down enemies by jumping on them and stabbing them.

Great way to defend your position.

Super Slam perk? Not sure which game you mean though

So rifle butting?
Sure, as long as it's potency is determined by the Melee skill.
