It also helps that I have the New Vegas edition with all the DLC, as I don't have XBox Live and only ever played the base Fallout 3 game. But it still sounds like the DLC for for New Vegas is better anyway.

Also, two words: anti-materiel rifle. How I ever fought deathclaws without one is beyond me.
