Forum:Does the Requirement of Mad Bomber strike anyone else as stupid?

Considering most (MOST) people played through Lonesome Road and hit level 50 before GRA came out...the inability to make half the explosives in GRA without Mad Bomber seems rather stupid to me. They should of just had it add automatically with the download. Yes, to me it seems very stupid, but to be honest I didn't mind starting a new save for the perk, cause I needed one anyway.They should've made it a challenge perk for doing so much damage with esther or something.

If U can't make 'em cuz U hit Lvl.50 before the add-on came out, U should at least be able to buy the sumbitches somewhere... Like other Explosives...--38.120.11.197 22:46, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

I had to load a previous save at Level 20 just to get the 3-Star challenges. (I can't kill Cazadores with explosives I can't make, and I can't really kill 10 named Legion when I have already killed them all...) GlassJAw667 22:55, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

You can kill them with long-fuse dynamite, and time bombs, but those are annoying to find/craft, so I can see why you might reload. Crossfire XVI 00:27, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

I think they basically assumed most people would simply start a new playthrough. Now that all the DLC has been released and you’ve had the chance to play through everything at least once it stands to reason you would want to start a new game so you can plan out your entire game accordingly. I mean if you’ve already played everything and you’re at level 50, what do you really have left to do anyway? ReapTheChaos 01:00, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Considering, at least in my case, that I had to start over about 3 weeks before OWB, still a bit left. Still, I want make my current file the best it can be before starting over. Plus, I don't see the point in starting over now when Skyrim is a little over a month away. I can't see myself doing anything significant with a new character with school and extracurricular activities really starting to pick up. Junior Year is killer.
