So, I sneaked into Vegas Outskirts at around level 2, maybe 3. Thinking that I could cut a few main-story locales and skip right to the good shit. I was able to do a little exploring, do a few quests, kill a few enemies with like most of my ammunition. But not too soon after, I was encountering enemies that were basically one-shotting me.
So I turn back, now level 4 or 5, headed for the main quest. Now I'm fucking mowing dudes down like they were ghouls :lol.
My question is, did Obsidian do away with the scaling leveling system from TES4/FO3?
God I did this near the beginning of the game. The first thing I wanted to do was go to Vegas. I went to that giant cross near Goodsprings Cemetery, and was about to head into the valley, and saw a sign that said "Warning Deathclaws". I decided to head down a path left of that instead. I saw 2 Cazadores, and not knowing what they were capable of, I thought I could take 2 of them on at such a low level. I was wrong, way wrong. I obviously died there and decided to take the road to the left of that. Victor came up behind me and said that way was dangerous, so I turned back. Then, I suddenly was being hit from behind. I turn around to be face-to-face with a Cazador. I keep backpeddling and shooting, but it's not doing much. Here's the worst part though: Victor was watching this whole thing and he didn't do a damn thing to help me!
A little later I headed through Black Mountain, and got a warning from that Super Mutant that it was dangerous. At that point, I could see the bright lights from the Lucky 38 from where I was at, and that it was so close, so I headed straight there. Suddenly, I was being attacked from behind by a Deathclaw! I ran for a trailer, and figured out that apparently Deathclaws are too tall to fit in trailers! Long story short, 4 Deathclaws were waiting outside the trailer for me, and I managed to catch a lucky moment when they ran far enough away where I could quick travel somewhere else.
