It does not scale enemies like Oblivion at all. I just started Oblivion (level 12), but have played through fallout twice and spent over 300hrs on it. So basically, if you have the ammo and money, go ahead, you'll just have an advantage. To paraphrase "You see in Fallout 3, we can give you this super awesome gun, but only a few bullets, whereas in Oblivion, once you get a good sword, you can use it" Well it's been said before in an IGN interview with Beth Devs that using higher level guns at low level will not do anything to the enemies level.

Right now, I'm a little concerned that using this stuff this early on might break balancing. I just completed Op Anchorage, obtaining a minigun, the gauss rifle and the power armor as a lvl 8 character. The reason I ask is I bought the main game for my XBox and instantly downloaded the first two DLCs. So for instance a level 3 player encounters enemies with smaller, more harmless weapons than a level 20 player. In Oblivion, enemy weapons and equipment were connected to the player level. Since I'm an Oblivion veteran, I've got a question about enemy scaling in Fallout 3.

Hello everybody, I'm new to Fallout 3 and this community, so first of all thank you for this great wiki!
