So yeah, in Oblivion the enemies would level up and become stronger at roughly the same pace that you yourself did, I'm just curious if anyone knows if this will be the case in Fallout 3 as well. Would REALLY be a bummer if that were the case, I can just imaging having played 50 hours and have gotten some pretty slick gear and abilites, and somehow the same enemies that gave you trouble at the very start of the game are still causing you trouble... urgh

But yeah, the question, if you know the answer, please do tell :)

I don't know. For some odd reason I have been prevented from going to a store and picking this up. My local gamestop said that they don't have any copies, guess they must have sold out. But seeing as your asking other people who haven't played ill give you the answer you want. what?

From what ive heard no. The enemies will get stronger the further you venture out of the starting place.
Sort of like an MMO

No it's not. They've said in interviews that they're not doing it that way, and previews of the game have said things like 'if you stray too far into uncharted territory, you'll get eaten alive by the higher level enemies. You'll have to stay in the lower level areas until you're strong enough to venture further.'

After all the complaining that leveling system received...I would be shocked to see Bethesda ever use it again.

As said here, and before by Bethesda, no.

So glad they don't.

In Oblivion, I think the Imperial Guard was the only type of NPC/enemy that leveled with you.  Excepting that, all of the other enemy types simply threw new variations to match and/or rival your level (case in point: Daedric baddies). 

Thank god Bethesda isn't going to go down that path again.

I dont think they will level with you. But on the flip side there will be enemies more powerful than you.

No, the monsters all leveled up with you. A level 1 wolf at the beginning of the game would be a level 50 wolf when you were level 50."

They do not level-scale, yeah. More like Morrowind in that regard.

Thank god for that. Leveling up in the game was pointless because If you didn't level right you would get eaten alive by the enemies on the default difficulty level.
