When and where to do quests

[ghostfc3s]

I found that on my play threw of new vegas on the way to putting my own two in Benny I got allot of quests I shouldn't have, as in there levels were to high. I feel like Freeside was created as the new megaton and all the quests there were give to advance your character's level and stats. However you never return to the areas on your way to New Vegas so I don't know. Like most of the missions and Mccarran are very combat heavy and I seemed ill equipped to do them at level 9-10. Until you hit freeside (for the energy weapons) and gunrunners your ammo and weapons are all off drops. Did anyone else feel like you were at the wrong level on hit way to vegas and once you were at Freeside to high level to be an earn boy/girl?

Well since quests are unleveled that'd be why it seems like theres some quests where you basically just crap yourself and say "no way and how" and also theres stuff like "You've gotta be kidding me. Really you're seriously asking me to guard a fricken door?!" I think the reason why quests are fairly easy in Freeside is because it's somewhat expected that you just run through the mainquest straight to freeside and pick up a few quests while travelling through there or you need some extra caps to get into the Strip so they're easy quests to get caps and experience because if you just an he main qust you're still probably not very high leveled at that point. Of course if you just go running around slowly advancing the main quest every now and then while doing all the side quests you find you'll be insanely overpowered for Freeside and the only real sport there is seeing how awesome of a one hit kill shot you can land on a thug is. (it became my favorite past time haha)
