Ok well I'm glad you guys got this on lock then, you guys know that game a hell of a lot better than I do. I remember having an issue with my install back in '08 not loading the Broken Steel DLC (back then I think it was an issue with my graphic card driver) so I never played Broken Steel, which would be why I never experienced the Enclave that early.
Yeah the mercs at level 4 or 5 dropped "Talon Company Armor, Reinforced" I've been wearing it since I got it.
I also totally overlooked the DR to DT thing so that also explains a lot, oh and that I'm unlucky haha
