Do enemies respawn anywhere in Fallout 3?

That's odd. There always seem to be places where I can count on fighting some Raiders or mutants again a few days (or maybe a week) after I last killed them.

It does seem to change from game to game, though. My first couple of games, I would always see Raiders around the supermarket, but they don't spawn there in my current game.

You might want to try under the bridge near the Citadel, or the apartments behind the library. There are usually Raiders around there.

Do they respawn in 1 week real time or 1 week Fallout 3 time?

I have been playing this game obsessively for the last 4 days or so and maybe that could be why they have not shown up again?

I just really need some enemies to use VATS on. I get a kick out of watching their heads fall off and/or explode.

 

I was also very critical of this game at the start but just like Oblivion this game has really grown on me and now I absolutely love it! I still do not own it either. I may buy it when PS3 gets the DLC.
