Fallout 3 Level Up
In an interview with Eurogamer, Fallout 3 lead producer Jeff Gardiner reveals that the Broken Steel downloadable content due out in March allow players to take their character all the way to level 30.
Along with the promised raise in the level cap to 30, Broken Steel also removes the ending for the game, allowing players to continue on in their adventure rather than having to deal with those pesky ending credits.
Fallout 3 offers many skills, so many that picking the proper skill set-up can be difficult without advice. This guide offers skill advice, so that you can put your skill points in the appropriate areas. A run-down of every skill in Fallout 3 is included, along with a short opinion on each skill.

So now I guess I have to do the same procedure every time I level up. Now the problem will be much bigger when I get to level 20. The EP of Broken Steel increases the level cap to 30, without it the level cap is 20. Fallout 3 crashes when leveling up? - posted in Fallout 3 Technical Support: Hi guys, I'm having this crippling problem with Fallout 3 right now. When I level up, I choose a perk and the game freezes. 100% of the time. This happens when leveling naturally or when using the advlevel script command. I think a mod might be the problem but I have no idea which.
We knew its name, but little else. Well, today, Bethesda have finally provided details on Fallout…

Yes, yes, we've heard the long, hard climb statement before. Bet you $10 some European WoW guild hits 30 after the DLC is released.

So, I level up, choose which skills to increase and choose the perk. When I click on 'Done' the game freezes. I bring up task manager and it's 'not responding'.
Here's what I did:
When that didn't work, I disabled all mods (I have only 9 and they're only texture mods).
When that didn't work either, I put my 'save games' in a safe place, uninstalled the game, ran ccleaner for good measure, and reinstalled the game.
When that didn't work either I started testing each save one by one, which wasn't very productive since although I have 40+ saves not all of them are near to levelling up! But the ones that were crashed as well, even ones which were very early in the game. Currently I'm lvl 9 going on 10, but I tried a game where I was lvl 2 and where I hadn't had any problem levelling then, this time the game froze when I went to lvl 3!!
I tried the console command player.setlevel #
Still the same problem even if I took my first save and tried to get to level 2
After a bit of googling, there were clues that the Expansion Pack of Broken Steel caused this problem. I got various links to 'solutions' on Bethesda's official forum but apparently they deleted all threads older than a year or 2 so I couldn't read anything!
Now I had played the GOTY a couple of years ago and I never had this problem! I wonder why it surfaced this time
Anyway for good measure I disabled all the official Expansion Packs (while still playing vanilla game with no mods) and guess what... I did level up without freezing.
I re-enabled the EP's and my game's like normal.
So now I guess I have to do the same procedure every time I level up.
Now the problem will be much bigger when I get to level 20.
