Fallout New Vegas love/hate, It's like sliding into a warm, bubbly bath. Full of piranha. Options

Anyone else playing this at the mo?

Picked it up for xbox360 and it's such a strange game. It's so full of great ideas, great quests, great story, etc. but has some of the worst bugs I have ever seen in a game. Technical crapiness and crashing aside, there are about a billion quest scripting bugs, AI glitches that make crazy stuff happen and a total lack of balance or polish on big chunks of the game.

I've still put about 80 hours into it so far and have almost got to the end, but i've also come up against literally dozens of almost game breaking bugs that I could only recover from by going back to an earlier save and finding out how to avoid them in the first place.

Obsidian have a dreadful track record for exactly this sort of thing and it looks like not much has changed.

Did I get shipped a different version to you guys (playing on PC)? Aside from a few crashes after several hours of play I've found no major bugs at all, a few minor quest glitches and the usual floating rocks due to the procedurally generated terrain but that's all, the only time I've had to reload a save is when I've died horribly.

You need to play for longer than a few hours to experience many of the bugs as they are linked to quests not triggering, triggering incorrectly and becoming unfinishable.

The companion AI also goes screwy as hell and it's easy to lose them alltogether.

I wish I had got the PC version now, this sucks donkey balls. It's a real shame as underneath all the bollocks there is a genuinely great game.
