Leveling up speech is foolish (Sorry about the bluntness here), those points could be valuably used for other things such as different weapons specialties. I have 100 on both plasma and small guns for instance.

This is because there is a workaround to speech, get it anywhere in-between 25-50 which will give you generally decent percentages, then save before key speech points, and retry as many times as needed for success, tedious? Sure it is, but it will pay off. I have basically a juggernaut character touting both Fawkes and Charon(Equipped with full T51b Power Armor) atm and I will post my specs for you once I look them and record them.

I thought some speech options wouldn't appear unless you hit 100.

Hmm, wasn't aware of this, either way, I see you have the expansion to Level 30 (Im on PS3 so I am currently restricted to 20) so the points shouldn't really be a problem anyways. I would however recommend getting your energy weapons to 100 for the obvious reasons. 

I hear that you can get almost entirely maxed out by level 30, so I'm sure that after level 20, I'll need something to put those points in. In the main game, all the guides say the energy weapons suck. I never used them in my 1st playthrough. I hear the Terrible Shotgun is the best weapon in the game....just like IRL.

Shotguns are the most devestating close range weapon ever devised by man. A 12 gauge Remington Express 00 Buckshot is the equivelant of putting 15 .40 S&W handgun rounds into someone in one shot. Terrible shotgun indeed. :D

Well you see, I am a VATS sniper on my character so shotguns dont come that in handy with me, I tend to level an entire room in vats before they notice haha.

But Energy Weapons in general are horrible, but certain Energy Weapons are incredible, I almost only use them.

The one I mainly use is A3-21's Plasma Rifle (Unique Plasma Rifle you get from The Replicated Man quest from Harkness, there is an exploit where you can get both his Rifle and the Perk), 2.5% Critical Multiplier, and when you have the Perks such as the Better Criticals perk, literally almost every other shot is a critical hit, also the rifle is extremely durable. Maxed out, with max energy weapons it does 50 per hit, its a beast weapon for sure. Also, even tough I don't really use it that much, you have the Alien Blaster and the Firelance (Unique Alien Blaster) which can take most things down in one hit and each shot is a critical hit.

Also, even though it isn't an energy weapon, if you want you always have Vengeance (Unique Gatling Laser) which is my favorite weapon in the game, it mows down opponents so easy its laughable, it sucks in VATS though, but outside of VATS it's literally just as effective as a Sniper Rifle.
