I've never actually seen multiple enemy types at once during my looting of Big MT.

Looking forward to Lonesome Road. Then probably a disappointing Fallout: Spinoff Title from Bethesda, and then hopefully a new Fallout: 4 from Obsidian. :thumbsup:

Edited for accuracy :lol:

I just finished OWB too. My initial impressions were sort of meh, but once I got my bearing, I really started to like it a lot (5 quests - 2 of which are almost of the same goals, and 4 of which are fetch quests - thrown in your face within 2 minutes doesn't help orientate players). The quests are mostly combat based, but there's a fair bit of forced sneaking (with a novelty stealth suit that's quite fun to put on for lulz) and the usual workarounds with lockpick/science. Even at level 45, the game can sometimes be fairly challenging (some OP nightstalkers, gangbanged by enemies on all sides etc).

Writing is great, very consistent and humourous. It doesn't suffer from the same problem that I have with NV. NV has a nice main plot and mostly consistent setting, but with a few side quests and places that have questionable dialogues and inheritance of Bethesduh's "trying too hard" design flaws. OWB doesn't feel like it's written by 8 different people at one go, which is a very good thing. Once I got over the shameless quest compasses (which can probably be loosely explained away in the context of the game anyway), it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.

Just for the record, I did end up finding lobotomites attacking roboscorpions too.
