I hate them because they seem to kill my party members in 1 hit.
Just made my way to the Hidden Valley gleeful that I'd soon be getting some power armour after what I assumed would be a few dialogue trees and kill monster x quests... Things didn't quite go to plan.

Let's not kid ourselves. New Vegas is not all that different from Fallout 3 in that regard. You can already create god like characters and there is still and over abundance of skill points. Comprehension means you can pretty much have a character that can have 100% on most skills at any given moment.
Why didn't Obsidian just use a skill system more like Fallout 1/2. 100 is just to low for a game were you get so many points. Difficulty should have also effected requirements.

I would consider New Vegas pretty different in that regard. It still takes 1,300 skill points in total to max all skills (including what you start with) and the maximum amount of skill points you can earn is currently 695. You literally cannot max all of the skills passively, and the slower accumulation means the player makes a much larger number of decisions at lower skill values. I still think it could stand to be slightly lower but it is a vast improvement over Fallout 3 where it is possible to passively max all skills before the character is anywhere close to the level cap in that game.

Anyone know if the time to get get from level 30 - 35 will be greatly increased over the time it takes to get from 25 - 30?
By time I mean XP I guess.
One of my annoyances is how much fucking XP you get just exploring the world. For the amount of XP they give you the level cap always should have been around 50 so that players who actually explore and enjoy the world without main-lining the main quest can still have levels left to reach when doing story stuff.

Holy shit @ Dead Money.
I'm not even going to put it in spoiler quotes, but the party members in it have some very interesting backstories.
Well, since entering Dead Money, I've gone to almost 32 and I just finished the first "main" quest in there, so....I don't think the XP requirements are greatly increased.

I, at least, am certainly am enjoying it after 3ish hours in, admittedly taking it slow.
All in all, it is similar to the Pitt in that you start with no items, and begin building your way back up by scrounging for items as the story progresses.
So far, the quests have been (IMO) at the level of the New Vegas quests in terms of story progression with additional backstory elements, although it's the usual fetch/delivery missions thus far wrapped up in a heist story.
The companions aren't repeats of the non-DLC ones, (and have beaten Boone as far as personalities go), though none of them start with their own weapons, which makes outfitting them a bit harder, since all companions use ammo for items that aren't their defaults.
The only annoying thing is that on normal difficulty, the only weapons I've been able to get thus far are just soaked up by the enemies, similar to Fallout 3's post-game at level 30+.
I'd recommend bringing a character in with good melee/unarmed skill first, my small guns are running a bit low on ammo trying to make sure every enemy is decapitated.
Also, no new perks for 30-35, at least, from my leveling to 32, which kinda sucks.
I'm taking a break for the night after playing Dead Money all day. Tomorrow, I will finally
My character's melee is useless and I've had to revert to handguns mostly like the 9mm or a magnum which is obviously a challenge. It's easily the most challenging section in the game. The whole DLC I've had to be wary, traps everywhere but it really allows for some thinking on your feet, on how you go about a situation. There are so many 'hazards' everywhere.
Also, the town itself, is very very hard to navigate, it's like The Pitt but 20 times worse. Rooftops, alleys, different hazards and traps, Ghost people, courtyards, I found the map to be completely useless for the most part.
I like the characters, and there have been some very interesting choices you've had to make so far. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
For the content, it's definitely worth 800msp and it's one of the more intense parts of the game.
Whatever's behind the Sierra Madre better be worth all the pain, I'll find out tomorrow. Remember, spoiler tags.
go into the Sierra Madre but not if the Ghost People have anything to do with it.

I had a little trouble with this quest too. After a couple tries I resorted to waiting inside the tower. I noticed an NPC tab pop up on my radar and then they entered the building. It was around 1:30am I think.

The Gun Runners stock it though it's sort of random and level based. Wait three days to see if they change stock. There are also iirc a couple of suits of it in Camp Golf tents and McCarran tents that you can take karma penalty free. Also try the 188 Trading Outpost.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but could someone help me install the Western Sky mod?
I just got the game thru steam so im not sure if that makes a difference but the "Western_Sky_Beta_3-4.zip" file that I downloaded did not come with any type of readme file so i tried just extracting it to the root game directory and that did nothing, then i tried extracting it to the Data folder, which for me is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data
and that also did nothing
any help would be appreciated
