Forum:I level too fast

I really want 100s across the board, but It's hard to plan everything properly because I level up too quickly (even fast traveling to places to grab books)

right now I'm level 18 and I'm worried I won't be able to plan it properly. This game is a bit too eays (I'm on normal). I would go to hard but I would just level up FASTER, and I would go to easy by that would make the game more boring. I wish bethesda made it so the spaces between levels got way bigger (so you need like 5000 xp to get to level 18 from 17, not just 2000) - Ashran111 05:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * All you need to do is get all your skills to at least 40, get the Comprehension perk, and find all the skill books and bobbleheads. The only three skills that need to be at 100 are Lockpick for very hard doors, Science for very hard terminals, and maybe Repair if you want to have 100% condition items.  --MadDawg2552 20:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

i know that you mean,they shouldave done that,i guess its so you can almost get full level by just doing the main quest.--Bluemax 20:08, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I dunno about that. On my first play through I just followed the main story line and did nothing else, and I didn't even make it to level 10.  --MadDawg2552 20:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh really,well then.i guess they did mess it up a bit,im level 20 after 30 hours or so gametime,cant wait for the dlc!--Bluemax 20:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I definitely have comprehension. What I am worried about if that I will get to level 20 before i have a bunch of the books, then say i raise sneak to 100, and find 5 sneak books, huge waste. I know I don't _need_ all 100s, but i would like it. - Ashran111 18:54, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Personally, on my characters where I'm trying to max out, I don't read any of the books- I just store them in a container until I have a lot collected. At that point, it's just a matter of getting my skill to level 40 (without the Bobblehead) or level 50 (with the Bobblehead). The only exceptions are Speech (target = 30 thanks to Yew's Bear Charm) and Barter (because there aren't 25 skill books for Barter). Once I've hit my goal for one skill, I will read ONLY the books associated with that skill. It really cuts down DRAMATICALLY on the micromanagement you have to do, but it makes your character weaker at the early to middle levels. If part of your problem is that the game's too easy, that might be just one more positive for this approach. Some Sort 03:39, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

That's actually a really good idea. I'll do that for my next build. Only problem is carrying them around. - Ashran111 18:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Just disarm (or arm, depending on your karmic target) the bomb in Megaton and store them in your locker. Problem solved. --Turbine2k5 ( What I am... - What I hear... - What I do... ) 18:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That's what I do, but I mean while I'm in a new building. I always find I have to drop items just so I can walk. I guess I'm a packrat. - Ashran111 20:19, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
