Dumb question. What happens if I try to make an Exile that can't fight very well?
Sometimes in New Vegas I like to make a character and put all my points into non-combat skills then have ED "Eduardo" -E and Boone fight enemies for me.

I'm thinking Hanharr is strong enough to play most of the game for me, but there's a few points where my character is on his own. Is this a horrible idea or could I still get by using buffs, shields and items?
I want to try a run with a character that can bulldoze any speech check and repair everything easily.

Tbh it sounds like a challenge to actually make a character who will suck at combat. I think the way the skill development is designed in this game, you almost inevitably become good at some stuff. At worst, your character's combat skills will be 'meh' because you won't be getting the most potential out of it.
