Hi,

I just got this game on my Xbox, and I like it.

I was reading this IGN leveling guide, and it said not to use the bobblehead or books because you can get stuck on the leveling screen. See # 4 ,#6, and #7 below.

search google for "Fallout 3 - Maximum Skill Levelling Guide"

Is this true? I worried I will not be able to finish the story because my character gets stuck.

from the Article............

4. Warning (IF YOU DONT READ THIS YOU WILL SCREW IT UP)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A few pointers before you get started:1. You must have the Broken Steel add on for this to work.2. It is DEFINITELY best to start from a new game.3. You will only get to choose three of your perks.4. You must not have any bobbleheads.5. You can't have blown up Megaton.6. You must follow this guide carefully or you might get permanently stuck.7. You don't want to read any aid books during this. However you do want to      stockpile them somewhere. I choose the trash bin behind Flak and      shrapnel's in Rivet City.8. You don't want to get any stat over 80.9. You won't be able to explode into a nuclear bomb when your health gets      below 20. Thats just the way it is.10. You won't be able to hack any Very Hard terminals or pick any Very      Hard locks until you are Level 30.

Thanks a bunch.

I've achieved level 30 with every bobblehead whilst using books along with having multiple 100 skills. Maybe there is a bug, but I've never had it.

Never heard of that - but I play on a PC.

My advice... forget other people's advice and just play the game anyway you want.

catch the irony there?

I've never heard of this.
And I've taken many characters to lvl 30.

Whew. thanks. it didn't sound right, but i thought i would ask. thanks again. and yes, i got your irony. lol
