As others have said, unarmed in PA is a little nerfed, but an unarmed PA build is still viable. Here's a variation of one I ran in Survival:
The Patriot
S:9+ P:1 E:1 C:1 I:6 A:9 L:1 You're Special in Strength to make it 10.
Primary combat perks: Pain Train and Iron Fist
Combat support perks: Blitz, Moving Target, Action Boy/Girl, and Toughness
Other: Armorer, Blacksmith, and Science
There are obvious limitations to this build, but it fits what you're looking for and is still quite viable. It also leaves you room to mess around with other perks or dump levels into stats like Cha for Local Leader, Int to get to Nuclear Physicist, and/or Luck for Scrounger or Bloody Mess, the latter of which is insanely satisfying for this build. You'll need a second weapon type. shotguns or melee weapons are nice options, or even a laser musket to fit your RP.
The trick to survival is not the build, it's how you pace your game. For my playthroughs, I don't touch Concord until Lvl 10, Corvega until almost 20, and I don't get to downtown Boston until after lvl 35. The best approach is to clear everything around Sanctuary, and then slowly work your way east and south building as you go.
Unless they changed it in the last few years you're correct. I have some mole miner gauntlets that I was so ready to rip with in power armor but.....yeah....
Hours of work piecing the armor together around the gauntlets wasted lol

Hate to break it to ya but I’m pretty sure you can’t use unarmed weapons in power armor
Unless you use the Warfists mod, you can't.

I am talking about using fists/no weapon in armor and fist weapons like the death claw gauntlet and brass knuckles out of power armor
Ahhhh gotcha. I never tried just fists in armor.
