BudLee Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I reached level 20 today, and I still got 1/3 of the map unexplored and some side-quests unfinished. I already have Anchorage and Broken Steel but haven't install them yet because I'm afraid it would affect some of the original quests. I heard that Broken Steel raise the level cap but also altering the ending of the game. Should I install Broken Steel or should I just finish the main quest before installing? Or perhaps I can install those two (or any DLC) and still continuing the original (without DLC) game without being affected in anyway? Thanks.

Cecallred Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I was at lvl 20 for ages. The game got easier for me and now I wish I had installed a slower-leveling mod. With broken Steel I am now climbing the charts again even though I'm not playing it yet. If you choose to do so, you may wish to look into a mod that slows things down a bit. In fact, if anyone has an idea for a good one, please let me know. Cec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsvie123 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm a level 30. All quests and side quests completed. Explored entire map and all locations, All DLC's. All Acheivements on Xbox. Even if you do instal broken steel before completeing it, it wont effect your normal gameplay or any quests. Anchorage will add a quest and a radio station but the broken steel add-on will just increase ur level cap and add perks. I would do all of the side quests possible then instal broken steel, then anchorage. or install broken steel now so u will get the experience for the side quests. have fun xD.

lilgamefreek Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Alternatively, you can nab a reduced skill point mod. The problem isn't that you're leveling too fast, it's that you're skills are growing to fast. You can handicap yourself to make the game more difficult. It's what I do.

BudLee Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks all. True, experience points are sometime too easy to achieve; like picking a lock or hacking a computer has a very high XP. So I assume that Broken Steel doesn't fix this or maybe raises each level's number of XP before advancing? Then which mod can anybody recommends? I found a "Level Cap Workaround" mod and will try it later today, after I install Broken Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harabec Weathers Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 What about something like This I havent tried it myself, i just keep reseting my level back to 29 with player.setlevel 29 (19 without broken steel), then i quick save and load and everything is good. Just a couple of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudLee Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 What about something like This I havent tried it myself, i just keep reseting my level back to 29 with player.setlevel 29 (19 without broken steel), then i quick save and load and everything is good. Just a couple of options. Your way on reseting through console sounds easy and simple. And that means the Skill Points and Perks Choice are always available, right? I'm gonna try that later. Anyway, I already installed Broken Steel without ending the game and all quests are normal and I'm starting to gain XP again. But there's a simple inconsistency with GNR and Enclave Radio, I heard them giving news after I supposedly had finished the game (Three Dog's "it's been two weeks since..."). And I met Feral Ghoul Reaper! I can't kill him without receiving damage, even if I snipe from a distance (not so far 'cause the encounter was in a subway) and I back away while shooting, it always reaches me! I'm not complaining here, just an unprepared and under-leveled happenstance, but makes killing hard again and I like it! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecallred Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 ^ No, the new Feral Ghouls are just plain mean and seem to have the HP of a Behemoth. I used a Gatlin Laser on them and they still made it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudLee Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Well, I usually uses a long range weapons (Reservist or Lincoln's Repeater, depends on the distance) and mostly got critical hit. But with Feral Ghoul and Mutant Overlord, I can't do that. After I snipes them I have to change to Xuanlong or Terrible Shotgun while backing away and shoot a couple of rounds while they are still charging. But always, I got a hit from them, especially when it's not outdoor. Guess, I have to upgrade my weaponries. Problem is, my big guns and energy weapons skill are still low.. below 30. I have tried to use Vengeance and Heavy Incinerator, pretty awesome but heavy, got to make choices which one to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
