Everything kept getting harder and harder to kill, despite the fact that I was in fact specializing in ONE combat skill. I was also having a problem with my character not progressing at all as I leveled. I tried to do one quest, and got owned by lizards that looked like the ones you fight during the tutorial, but apparently are far more powerful. Despite this, I somehow managed to beat them (partially the NCR wore them down a bit, yeah, they didn't kill one legion guy despite their being a dozen of them.) I then tried to do that quest with ghouls that want to go into outer space. I did try to do the thing where you run to an NCR base and let them kill them, but the legion murdered the entire base they were so op.

I saved the people they kidnapped, unaware that it would mean that my character was going to be hunted by high-level enemies with powerful gear for the rest of the game. Of course, I ran into caesar's legion at that one town. I did the tutorial, then tried to make my way to new vegas. I tried to play the game, and failed utterly.
