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.

I'm on a GTX295 and an I7. Out of pure luck I've not had a single crash or any lag whatsoever.

The game has the usual bugs and bad AI associated with fallout 3, but it's still a good game

(Fuck that stupid flower picking quest near the beginning where I had to pick two flowers to combine them into some medicine, found one in the advertised location, but couldn't find the other after looking for around half an hour.. eventually resorting to the interweb to be told that they're random spawns and may not actually be there - the solution to map out and back again resets the spawns). Made me want to rage.
