Do you have a link to the changelist? I'm keen to get my hands on the patch.
Has anybody else encountered a glitch on the 360 where certain guns (usually rifles it seems, the Cowboy Repeater in particular) cause you to lose button function after shooting them?
Happens quite often to me, I can't shoot, reload or pull up my Pip Boy for several seconds after firing my Cowboy Repeater (and some other guns) sometimes.

No changelist yet since only the PS3 version is live (which doesn't show one) and nobody's around at Bethesda to post it on the forums.
The bug you're talking about is known, the patch should fix it, unless like the last PC patch they try to fix it and just break it some more.

It's a pretty good question, and the only thing I can guess is that they didn't actually send it out when they claimed to have, probably due to finding a showstopper towards the end of testing.
After the GFWL disaster with Fallout 3, I was hopeful that the Steamworks integration in Vegas would lead to lots of smaller bugfixes rather than the verrrrrrry delayed and infrequent patches from 3. You know, the same patches that almost always coincided with paid DLC.
Do I sound cynical?

On the 21st... it was more of a joke that the DLC is exclusive.
Edit - Someone confirmed basic EC having -2 DT, so I guess that's the real deal.
Just going to start listing confirmed stuff since a changelog is yet to appear:
- Companions now fast travel to the appropriate location when dismissed by the player
- Companions are now marked as indicators on the Pip-Boy map
- Veronica now correctly levels up similar to other companions
- EC/ECP/MC ammo (standard) now has -2 DT
- EC/ECP/MC ammo (over charge) now has -5 DT
- EC/ECP/MC ammo (max charge) now has -10 DT
- Multiplas Rifle now consumes 3 units of ammo per shot (previously 6)
- Plasma Defender now consumes 2 units of ammo per shot (previously 3)
- All reputation safehouses have been updated with additional supplies (armor, weapons, ammunition, skill magazines)
- All-Purpose Science Suit (13 DT, 2 WG, +5 Science) can now be found in the Followers' Safehouse (previously cut content from Fallout 3)
- NCR Ranger Combat Armor can now be found in the NCR Safehouse
- HELIOS One infinite experience exploit has been fixed

It's basically what it says. The amount of damage per second. Your SMG might not deliver nearly as much damage in a single shot as your shotgun, but it shoots faster so you might end up doing more damage with it per clip. It's just a way to factor in the shooting speed of the weapon with the damage to HP per shot since both are an important part of the final result: how much damage you do.
I miss this game.

Wallach, is that a complete changelog? I really hope they fix the first-person gun holding animation glitch (where rifles go wonky when you hold them)

Quick question: I've been finding
such as
and others. The items are up for grabs, as in no karma being wasted taking them and recovering there. Are these.... semi-permanent? Can I leave anything in the lockers and whatnot? Would make it a lot easier for some traveling between the south and north.
abandoned shacks and houses around the waste
Field's Shack
Does the patch fix the Helios One gun freezing every time you try to fire it? One of the things I was most excited for when I made an EW character and I can't even test it out. Sucks too since I got it really early on and definitely had some spots that I woulda loved to have it, and now I'm a walking god and don't need it. Ah well.
Wallach said:
Awesome
I assume these are just a few of the fixes, but good stuff. I hope it addresses some other stuff. I know Boone's gun skill will be brought back down but he's no wandering aimlessly without his hunting rifle and is using melee based weapons for me. I hope they have a fix for that too.
How do I get a key to the Follower's safehouse? I've done pretty much every quest for them.

I wonder if it fixes
that vault where attacking the turrets causes you to fail a bunch of House quests.

You can get into McCarran from outside the walls of New Vegas on the south side.

From what I've been told the turrets are incorrectly aligned with House, so attacking them makes him hostile to you.

Speaking of the King, are any of his favors useful at all? Money is obvious, joining the Kings apparently lets you get a haircut... is that it?
Just hit 70 hours, still sooooo much to see and do.

So many hours and I think I'll be calling it a wrap soon. Just need the banned from all casino's trophy but I suck at blackjack
This is my runner up GOTY... Heavy Rain being number 1.
Overall I liked the environments of FO3 a lot more but I'm loving not having to go back into any fucking sewers.

I loooooove the highway space that leaves most mutations on the side of the road. No need for fast travel ever.

I swear the vast majority of the quests in NV can be finished or strongly influenced by speech checks.

No joke. I haven't encountered a check above 50 yet, and every single extra part I've had to scrounge after and do is because my silent gunslinger type is.... silent. :lol Missed out on a lot of optionals as well. Already looking forward to a second playthrough. :lol

damn, that seems like a pretty comprehensive patch. i have held off playing the PS3 version, but i guess now it's the time to get into it finally.
i'm not going to say "well done" to Obsidian just yet, but if i can get through the game without serious issues or too many crashes, then i'll be greatful for their post-release effort.

What's that :lol
edit: I just googled it :lol I've done it a few times without actually realizing it's an easter egg
You can, go into the First Recon (iirc) tent in Camp McCarran and there is one on top of a bunk that you can take without any karma loss.

The Nightkins in there were a bitch for me low level too. I resorted to explosives, which is a bit tricky itself in those corridors.
Okay so I just completed this quest with Cass and then took a peek at the "endings" that are connected to it at the Wiki (does the ending show the futures of various characters or something?). Need comments on what I did, what you did, etc.
Any ripple effects I need to know about for my actions? What did you do?
Once we figured out the Crimson-Van Graff plot I wanted to resolve shit peacefully, but once I walked into Silver Rush (for the first time ever) and talked to one of the bodyguards, everyone went hostile. After a fairly epic gunfight Cass and I wiped the place out at which point she changed her mind and wanted to roll into Crimson Caravan old style.
I was still against it. I didn't care about slaughtering the Van Graffs (don't care about energy weapons either), but I had quests in-progress with Crimson Caravan head Alice McLafferty and preferred to stay on the goodside of everyone over there. Problem is, my lockpick skill was nowhere near high enough to get the evidence out of the safes, even with magazines.
The option I chose was to chill out in McLafferty's office with a Stealthboy and slip some C4 in her pocket (after completing her line of quests of course). She's dead, but everyone else at Crimson acts as if things are still in normal operation, no hostility or infamy. Cass left with her "vengeful" resolution.
