Me too, those things are devious swarming bastards! Trust me, I even tested cranking the difficulty down to Very Easy at level 22, and a swarm of five or more will still take out your companions in a heartbeat. Edit: CAZADOR. Damn them. "
Man, even at level 22 those things are still that deadly? I ran into them when I was only like level 2, and yeah, I didn't have much of a chance. What the heck is with that huge danger zone north of Goodsprings? I also ran into a Giant Radscorpion a little to the east of there, and could see another one in the distance. There's all these warning signs, and some were telling me to watch out for Deathclaws, so that seems like one pretty crazy area the game just doesn't want you going to. There must be some good stuff that way or something for them to have the area so heavily protected by these giant bringers of death. Also, uhh... the level cap is higher in New Vegas, huh? Does it go to 30? If so, awesome!
Die is a strong word xD.... anyways I donwloaded Vindictus over the weekend to see what is was about. I got mauled by a bunch of gnolls during one of the dungeons... my stupid sword "broke", or whatever it's called in this game, without me noticing... errrggg
Also, damnit, I wish I could run the game on full settings and have 60FPS T-T (right now I'm at medium or so settings and ~35FPS) oh well, can't get everything.

Yeah, they're brutal in groups, not too bad if you can pick them off one by one, and probably much easier with hollow tip ammo, which I haven't built up much of a supply of. As far as I can tell, that danger zone with the Deathclaws is there to encourage you to play through the game world in a counter-clockwise manner. You'll head to the southwest first, make your way east, and the head north before finally making it to Vegas. And yeah, the level cap is 30, but it kinda seems like you get there quicker than the level 20 cap in Fallout 3. I think that may be because difficulty level doesn't affect how much XP you receive, so in New Vegas no matter the difficulty you play at, you're getting the same sort of XP progress that you'd get in Fallout 3 if you were playing on Very Hard.
Played Skate 3 for a while earlier....there's no real death in that game, just gnarly falls and shattered bones. That reminds me, Skate's hall of meat mechanic would be greatly aided by blood and gore.
