Fallout 3 discussion

I haven't tried re-playing the game from scratch (and won't), but I suspect that the higher-level enemies added by the BS DLC throughout the Wasteland might reduce that uber-powered feeling you get around level 15 in the original campaign.

Unfortunately not. I'd planned my second character around the 3 DLC episodes, so I had plenty left to do after completing the plot and DLC missions. I found that with the metal blaster and 100 points in energy weapons the overloard and albino radscorpion were going down in 5-8 shots. One's a strictly melee enemy and seldom got to hit me, the other was just another gun user who did more than average damage. Unbugged ghoul reavers I could kill in a single stealth critical or in 2 normal shots.

The enclave troops were the toughest IMO. That new flamethrower is nasty and the ones with hellfire armour take a tonne of shots to drop. I didn't encounter any outside of the Broken Steel plot line.
