I've only seen a fraction of the game as a whole, but I'm pretty sure that I'm a good way through the main quest, and they are there.

Thanks for again confirming my hopes Just a few hours left until I can install it myself.
I was never really that impressed by fallout 3 but this game feels really good. I played fallout 1 and 2 this summer (not related to that new vegas was coming out) and I loved those games and this one kinda keeps the feel that the first 2 had in my opinion. I only played a few hours so far but it feels amazing. I like how it seams like they didn't do the classic Bethesta enemies scale white your level shit witch kinda makes leveling up pointless.
No way im playing this at least till its properly patched, cant believe they didnt learn from Fallout 3. That game had so many bugs. I was never able to play it after the first 2 hours because it kept crashing. Crappy Bethesda.

For those sort of interested in the game but afraid its a total fail, fear not! It is refreshingly better than fallout 3. Way better. If one were to compare Oblivion to Morrowind, Fallout 3 is to Oblivion as New Vegas is to Morrowind. Everything feels hand placed (and I think it is), the dialogue is way better, the pacing is better, the world is way more interesting and realistic, and everything about it so far (maybe 5 hours in so far) feels way better than fallout 3. I'm still trying to figure out how big it really is cause it seems monstrously huge, it feels way way bigger than fallout 3. Additionally I haven't run into any horrible bugs. There is the directx9 fps bug right now that can be fixed using an old directx dll, and perhaps the launcher bug (you may need to run it in xp comat mode), but nothing in game seems seriously messed up.
The biggest issue is that it uses gamebryo and at times looks like balls. Like seriously bad sometimes. Other times, especially in the middle of the day with all of the HDR stuff, it is really atmospheric and works. This is bathesdas fault, the engine was never very good for this sort of game, and it sort of comes with all of the bathesda baggage. Fortunately, Obsidian seems to have tidied up many of the issues (especially concerning world feel) that it works. It feels more like a traditional game than a "blockbuster" targeted to casual gamers with gimmicks like fallout 3 was.
I'm one of the few who has had little to no problems. In fact the only problem I've had is the quick save issue and even that's not even close to game breaking for me if I just remember to manual save before exiting the game.
Definitely Definitely Highly Highly recommend if you liked Fallout 3 and even if you didn't like/play Fallout 3. Having tons of fun with New Vegas. Only other problem than that is I don't have enough time to play it as much as I might want lulz

haha whatttt that didn't happen to me at all. ive had an increasing amount of crashes, and glitches, but nothing that bad. still i cant recommend this game enough. im pushing 16 hours into the game now, and still so much great dialoge and just the small touchs you see as you explore that make it so great

Copy this to FalloutPrefs.ini (in your My Games/FalloutNV folder) under controls
