Nothing is worse than being so close to victory, only to have have an enemy roll a critical hit. Then you fall back into a puddle of sludge with a huge hole in your chest, and the narrator kindly informs me that I have perished. Gee, thanks. I couldn't have possibly figured that out on my own.
Save scumming stops that from happening.
I've taken to doing that too. Save before every fight.
I went to the Den and did every quest there, levelled up, killed a bunch of rats, sold verything i had to get the leather armour and still got killed by a golden gecko. hahaha
Those Geckos are pure evil. Funnily enough I had more trouble with them than a cave filled with
Deathclaws that I encountered later in the game.
One thing you might want to consider is stealing items from people. You can rack up tons of caps and ammo that way, and sometimes you can even nick a rare item that would normally cost an absurd number of caps.
