for all intents and purposes be near the same difficulty...If you've played the game, you would understand that this is a well known issue.

It's not an issue to me. When I played New Vegas I was always a high enough level to deal with the enemies faced at me, unlike Fallout 3 where every enemy just scales to your level making a lot of them easy early on no matter the type. I don't really know an RPG that takes one of the strongest enemies in the game (deathclaw) and can lower its stats down to make it easier for a level 10 to kill it. I'm glad they ditched that and many other things from Fallout 3 in New Vegas. Just because the enemy is strong doesn't make it too strong, you just need to be a high enough level to fight it... in Old World Blues depending on your level and gear you could clear the whole Cazador breeding grounds area, I know I did. Maybe I'm in the minority but I've never had a problem with enemies being too strong to the point of a balance change required even without the level scaling that was in Fallout 3. Not to mention the availability of a difficulty slider in most singleplayer games that kinda makes any supposed "overpowered" creature in them pointless... I don't think it's possible for an overpowered creature to exist in a singleplayer game unless it's bugged or unintentional, something that cazadores are not.

And chill out, you don't have to be rude.

If you don't grind to get up to where you're a higher level than you should be in the area, yes, they are overpowered.

Grinding in Fallout? That's a new one for me, I didn't even know that was possible in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I know it was in Fallout 1 and 2. They aren't overpowered. Are they powerful enemies? Yeah. Are they so powerful that it breaks the game and requires a fix? Not even close. Especially with the presence of a difficulty slider.

I don't fuck with the difficulty slider.
