Random Encounters

I have something like this. It is usually caused by one of my characters having the scout perk. If I don't have that perk, I get encounters rare like I should. With scout, I get an encounter every 10 minutes on the world map.
 
huh... is it just me, or is what you're saying quite contradictory ?

If you have the scout perk, your encounters are rare... if you dont, you get encounters once every 10 mins ? (or maybe you assume 10 mins between each encounter isnt rare ?)

I'm confused :P

People are talking about getting an encounter every 10 seconds, I'm sure they'd welcome a 10 minute gap between encounters. Think yourself lucky.

Actually, I'd welcome a 10 seconds gap between encounters... I get an enc once every 1/10 seconds at the moment :p

Bah... I just edited my savegame to give one of my recruit over 300 Outdoorsman, so I can at least decline them.
 
Hey everybody,
Can everyone say what part of the map your talking about?

I found something intersting, When i stick to more or less direct routes between mission city and the Bunker etc. I get moderate encounters say 1 every square however if I travel north west from Bunker Gamma (Got bored and felt adventourous) this frequency may drop a little as I leave Super mutant territory and reenter beastlord and Raider territories.

The WEIRD bit is that when I read an area that looks like mountains really far west (West sou-west of bunker alpha) The encounters are almost 1 per millisecound (Dogs/wolves/raiders/radscorpians) then when I move away from it lowers back to about 1-1.5 a square.
 
Direct routes do tend to have less encounters.

Extract the bos.cam file from the bos folders and open in the FT Tools campaign editor and then you can see where the highest chances of encounters will be.
