Tips Specifically for Levelling Up??

[machauf]

Hey, it's me, the guy search engines boycott...I can't find a thread dealing with this, so my apologies again for what may be an old question:

Any particular tips for levelling up? I mean, outside of particular quests. Like, it seems that the area between New SF and New Reno is best for enemies with lotsa XP. But is that all?

I may be unavoidably avoiding random encounters due to Outdoorsman being at 91%. Any way to alleviate this?

Any other places like Navarro, SAD, and the Military Base which I can wipe out without getting bad karma?

Just wondering, is all. Also, anyone able to take on seven Enclave mofos at once? My character's Level 38 and I've got Cassidy, K-9, Skynet, and Marcus with me and I have to make sure I only encounter Enclave patrols in the mountains so that only three of them show up instead of a phalanx of seven! Oddly enough, they're the toughest foes in the game but the XP garnered is only slightly over half of what's available with simpler enemies like Mean Centaurs.

Yep, that's the only surefire way to get XP.

Ehm, no, Outdoorsman leads to the *option* to avoid random encounters, you don't avoid them automatically.
So that should be no problem.

Interesting...Outdoorsmanship only leads to the *option* of avoiding encounters...but how come when I travel about the World Map, I often see that icon representing me "flickering" as if an encounter's about to take place, but nothing happens, as if the computer decided I didn't "qualify"??

You know, that Maltese Cross "cursor" switches to something red for a second...what's the game calculating in such instances?? It's weird because it seems like the computer's decided, for all of a second, to give me a random encounter, but the very next second decides not to!

Probably your imagination.

Yeah, that has nothing to do with that. Any computer at all does not need a noticeable second to compute the outcome of a random throw of the dice.
