About melee attacks... (Gaming)

Guns with Bayonets are so good that I don't really see the purpose of melee weapons in the game. Thoughts?

I haven't used a single melee weapon, but my biggest guess is that Bayonets take AC and take longer between swings. But yeah I've found that sometimes melee does a heck of a lot more damage than a gun shot sometimes.

If you actually put points into strength and the melee perks in Fallout 3, melee was ridiculous. I remember doing a melee only build at one point and basically one shotting everything (Deathclaws became a huge joke). I've already seen reports that you can do the exact same thing in Fallout 4, with melee not quite one-shotting some of the Legendary enemies.

Granted, after the novelty of it wears off, it's not a super interesting or fun way to play, but it's definitely possible.
