Penalised for being an energy weapon specialist early on?

This was kind of the case in FO3 but it wasn't nearly as bad. Maybe I am just hitting the wrong places, but does it make any sense to take energy weapons to the max before guns? I mean, there just aren't any available early on any enemies or places. If you have any ideas, I would appreciate it, thank you.

You're penalized for trying to be a melee weapon/stealth specialist too. I have yet to find a better edged weapon than a straight razor or machete. The game wants you to shoot guns I think.

 

The shovel and cleaver are two good early melee weapons. I found some energy weapons early but I've been using guns and melee so I'm not sure just how early.

If you stay around the Goodsprings to Novac area, you will hardly find any energy weapons. Go to the Strip and follow the NCR patrols till they come into conflict with fiends and mow them down. Fiends carry energy weapons sometimes. I've found several plasma rifles, laser rifles, some pistols, and laser RCWs without lifting a finger.
