Robots

[José Cruz]

How do you deal with robots? I went to Helios One when I was level 6, and had a great dificulty defeating the dozen robots there. The problem was that they wielded only 11xp for every kill, which is strange. Usually strong enemies give much more xp, like 55xp.

I took about 50-60 shots of 10mm ammo to defeat a single tin man.

FNV does not scale everything to your level, unlike FO3. Tougher enemies will have more damage threshold (flat damage reduction from all attacks) and do more damage than the quest enemies you engage with if you played the game like "normal."

Needless to say, a level 6 shouldn't be anywhere close to Helios One, so you aren't supposed to stand a chance there. You should still be walking the roads between Nipton and Novac.

I always tend to advance too fast. Managed to finish F3 without maxing my level.

Also, In F3 there is level scaling? I though that you didn't fell the leveling because it was basically a shooter, where stats didn't matter.

Stats didn't matter? Eh, a guy with 60 hp or a guy with 400 hp are the same? I don't think so. You one-shot the first one and pump lead into the second one for a good minute.

There's a level scaling for quests I believe, but non-quest monsters have preset level values.
