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.

Out of curiosty has anyone done the Vault 22 quest? There was a side quest that you had to do in that (not going to spoil it unless folks ahve already been there) and there only seemed 1 way to do it that involved a completely random loot drop very early in the game. I thought that was a bit strange but glad i had the item (it involves gas if you want a bit a of a cryptic reference).
