While I hated Oblivion's scaling, I don't think it's fair that the first bandit I came across was armed with a rocket launcher that fired nuclear missiles.
Why not? You can find them, why shouldn't they? Come to think of it, it would be weird if every bandit was armed with a small gun. They live their lives robbing people so I'm pretty sure they mug people if their weapons too. They should have strong weapons.

.. although it's a bit unfair from a gameplay perspective, of course.
Said bandit was wearing a loin cloth and some god damn leather straps as armour. Watching him whip out a nuclear rocket launcher, presumably from his ass, was pretty bizzare.
Hmmm, yeah when you look at it like that it's a bit bizzare indeed. =P

[/quote}Though I've got my eye on the Fat Man and anyone know if the repellant stick effects any other creatures in a wierd way or only the pig things? Might buy it back if it can help with the bane of my life - the giant radscorpion

Really glad weapons only become unsable when they break, rather than vanish from the inventory.[/quote]

Has to work on all of them, or it would be a waste of time. I am rolling with the chinese assault rifle most of the time, then combat shotgun, and laser rifle when this get rolling, but for small creatures I just hit them with a bat, nothin' like beatin' the crap out of a mole rat in v.a.t.s.

Anyone know where to find ian from the blood ties quest?
To deliver the letter? Towards the north west - his sister should have marked the location. if you mean later on in the quest then check underground carefully in one of the three locations mentioned about the family to move things further on - especially around a lab

I've been playing for about 4 hours or so. My main complaint is that it seems really easy. Using VATS makes everyone really simple to kill. There's no feeling that you could get your ass blown away at any moment like in the old ones. I'm not saying it's horrible though, because I'm still enjoying it... for now.
I have the exact opposite problem...

Make sure your limbs arn't hurt, Put points into your weapon of choices spot. Crouch before you go into VATS. Do not shoot the gun out of peoples hands because it destorys the weapons condition.

Anyone did that ghost town full of mines quest? The bastard of a sniper caught me off guard!

[http://www.xfire.com/video/3a9b3/]

My first video...don't go on a rabid meanie rage :(
Lol, I wondered for a while why mines kept blowing up next to me.. Accidently hit R2 and I noticed the bastard. Four trys later I beheaded him with an assault rifle burst.

Also he is the only guy I have seen with a sniper. :( But I guess thats a good thing with the range he can hit you from.

And the damage! Hoof!

That was on hard btw.

If you notice i lost 3/4 of my health two times.
I upped mines to hard last night. Trying to figure a plan of action for the..
Germantown PD that I am about to attack and rid of super mutants.

I got 300 rounds of 5.66 and a 60% repaired chinese assault rifle and 5 or so frag mines and 7 or so frag nades. Going to save before the attack though.

Golly! While i was fast traveling i found myself face to face with a big mutant (name is yuo guana or something) we looked at each other for a second and then he proceeded to tear me a new butthole.

I quickly used the magic powers of the quick reload button and this time i ran from him into a nearby lake. He lost me. I start dumping around mines and then i wemt after him, he takes the bait and it takes him seven...i repeat SEVEN MINES and 3 sniper shots to get it killed!

What are these things!?!
If its a Yao Guai then get to level 10 as quickly as possible. There be a perk named Animal Freind. Its so fucking useful against mole rats, Yao Guai, dogs and brahmin. Hell the second rank makes them allies.

Also those mines I don't think gave the full damage, Because if your fast enough you can basicly run by them so it might have just took 3 sniper rounds.

No no no, i noticed his health bar going down, but the fucking thing was fast! He took some damage from the mines and then started running away...

Seriously, i fought a super mutant with a rocket launcher and compared to that this was hell!
Like I said, Get to level 10 and you won't have to worry about them ever again. Oh yeah just so you know if your quick with VATS I think you can shoot a grenade/rocket before it hits you destroying it.

Right now I am extremely pissed at the game. I have 1 hit point, and I'm on the mission that you have to go to the museum of technology. There are tons of super mutants around, and if I so much as put one foot out of the shelter of the shelter of the subway awning, I get hit and killed. I guess I'll just have to start a new file.

Any tips on how to level up quicker, Bulletinmybrain?
Do quests. Thats about as best I could tell you. Leveling up science and lockpick are decent helps for gradual xp. But I would say take your chosen gun skill to 75 and then move lockpick and science to 50 as soon as possible.

XP is much harder in this game. :(

Woot! I am making super mutants my ***** with hunting-rifle+VATS. :D
