Finally!
 
Oh, and the finally is only referring to the update... nothing else.

sweet!

Nice I'm glad it's getting an update.

roll out more fallout?

I hope Veronica will level up now.

Huh.  I should probably start up a new game, then?  Since this patch fixes the first mission?

Awesome.

Damn, looks like they patched every quest in the game!

Wat

Glad to hear it

i'm already done with it...it'll take some impressive expansions to get me back in to enjoy these fixes at this point.

This is shit that a game should not ship with. Look at all the quest bugs. 

Does the patch fix the part where it freezes a lot or did they fix that in an earlier patch? That was my biggest issue while playing it.

while i managed somehow to beat the game when it was a bugfest i don't think i'll be going back to it any time soon even with this patch. The game was decent but i guess playing fallout 3 a month prior to this coming out burned me out a little. 

That is why I will wait a couple months before even trying this game. A couple patches as big as this, and it should be good to go.

I remember I stopped playing mainly because the game constantly freezes. If they fixed this then I might go back to it.

" That is why I will wait a couple months before even trying this game. A couple patches as big as this, and it should be good to go. "

Now I'm slightly less terrified of playing this awesome game.

You see, this is exactly why I haven't bulldozed through New Vegas yet. I was waiting for this patch.

too little to late. I traded in my copy when it got to the point that every 45 mins it would freeze up and crash my PS3 and I had to hard reset. The more time you put into the game the worse it got. I now will never buy a Bethesda game for full price again. They released it in an unfinished broken mess and they got my money for it which is not good enough so now it's second hand Bethesda games for me so they get none.

Wow......stopped playing a for a bit cause I was getting burned out but I think I will drop back in next week. 
 I was defending this game quite a bit from a the people complaining about the bugs - but I have to say that is an insane list of problems that they needed to patch. 
  If, as they say, the game is so big that they can never find all these problems in QC they should release the next one as a Beta to a 1000 or so people to try to catch these things because that is an embarassing list of faults to have to admit shipping a game with.

Second playthrough coming up!

too little to late.

Thank you Bethesda! I've waiting for this patch forever. I had the stupid save file corruption issues, and haven't played for a good three weeks because of it.

My companions already fast travel with me and show up as waypoints. Does this mean the patch has already been applied to the Steam version?

Just by skimming through the list does this mean that New Vegas is finally "playable" ?

Hope I get this for Christmas.

I was having a lot of fun with this game until Veronica just disappeared. Haven't played it in weeks since that happened. I was just looking at trade-in value for this game on Amazon. I'll hold off until the patch. But if I do the patch and she doesn't come back, this game is getting traded in.

Isn't that pretty much every quest?

It's pathetic that they released such a broken game. I mean what the fuck, it's just Fallout 3's system recycled to add new story and quests. The basic mainframe should be stable.

No faith after all the bullshit. I'll keep holding off until there is a good consensus the freezing is gone. Maybe next year...

Great.  I'll be able to start playing again.  Now just to wait to make sure the update doesn't erase people's saves or other such none sense.

I'm glad they finally got the companion thing right.  I never had the issue and then it happened once and after that it seems like I can't go 30 minutes without a companion vanishing.

The game left such a sour taste in my mouth, I'll have a hard time going back. I don't see any mention of them fixing the bug where hacking doesn't work if you've changed the default controls.  And my companion's weapon disappearing for no reason.

Unfortunately, this game already lost me a month and change ago when my save imploded. It doesn't matter to me if they fix it at this point. I'm done and will never touch the messy piece of shit again.

Can't wait, this game is the ultimate timewaster on PC

cool, should be able to find ED-E again. 

Good, maybe when the patch drops I'll crack open my copy for the first time.

The length of the list of fixes, especially to quests, is fucking disgusting. I love Fallout but this game should not have shipped the way it was.

Awesome! That "weathered pistol" bug really bothered me. Every time I drew my pistol I'd be surrounded by a gigantic translucent red rectangular prism with a yellow exclamation point on the side.
 
Actually, now that I think about it... Maybe I don't want the patch. That bug was pretty awesome.

Don't think this patch fixes the freezing at least it's not mentioned it does, what's the point in fixing quests etc if you can't play because the game freezes all the damn time. 

" i'm already done with it...it'll take some impressive expansions to get me back in to enjoy these fixes at this point. "

Nobody should have bought this game on principle alone. A broken pile of shit that a conscionable organization never would have shipped. 

Thankfully, I bought Fallout 3 and New Vegas both at the same time, so by the time I'm done with (the, of course, buggy but fun) Fallout 3, New Vegas should be in the condition it should've been in on release day.

I will wait until they put a GOTY version of this out since they will be doing DLC for this game and will most likely have a GOTY edition anyway.  In the meantime, I can continue working my way through Fallout 3, whenever I get around to doing that.
