I sacrificed them to the suicide bomber for free ammo. Totally fucked up Cass' quest though.
So I went ahead and made a new character anyway, and luckily the NPCs seem to be working alright in that file. I even imported one of my other characters' saves and the Silver Rush guards fired on him just fine, so for some reason that file in particular (my shotgunner) has a bunch of messed up NPCs. Fuck.
Edit - No, it's weirder even than that apparently. I loaded my old character back up again and they are all using the rifle normally, but they all toss their weapons to the ground after a few seconds completely broken. So I try this without my companions and they completely maul me (go go energy weapons buffs) without dropping their weapons; it's fast but they seem to get about 5 shots off per guy before I'm dead. So right now all I can conclude is that apparently Boone and ED-E are breaking all of their weapons (by targeting them) within the first couple seconds of combat? Fucking what is the deal.
Edit #2 - I can't find any other instance yet where this is occurring besides the Silver Rush, contrary to what other folks have told me. Officially not a big deal in my book at this point.

Now that the patch is on Steam, he's my top five essential mods:
1 - Sprint Mod - New Vegas is a big place. Don't walk when you can run.
2 - Pipboy Readius - A new and better pip for your menu needs. Put it on huge.
3 - Nevada Skies - You haven't truly seen New Vegas at night without this mod.
4 - Pip Boy Night Vision - With those darker nights, replace that old pip light with full nightvision.
5 - MTUI - Because the default text size is for console kiddies.
And the ultimate mod to watch:
RTS - Real-Time Settler - Build your own settlement in the wasteland, complete with buildings, defenses, settlers, and sweet resource management. It's something that's being often updated so I wouldn't jump in just yet, but in a short while it'll provide a huge enhancement to the Fallout experience.

I have just recently started playing Fable 2 again, and was a big fan of Oblivion. Would Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas be a similar type game to start once I am finished up with Fable 2?
Sorry to ask such a random and outdated question, however I don't have any friends that play these type of games. Thanks!

When it comes to RPGs Fable and Fallout are polar opposites.
Fallout is completely open world. Start walking and it just goes on and on for quite a while. Fable as you know is made of gated nodes that are much smaller. In Fallout you can pick up anything that isn't nailed down and in most cases - even in the case of pure junk - it is a component for something to craft. Fable has a very limited inventory. Fallout also has a deep character building system that has a tremendous amount of variety. In Fable you basically turn into an upgraded version of the original character.
Fable is basic, Fallout more advanced. You should give it a try.

I'd start with New Vegas. It does everything Fallout 3 did, but better.ahoyle77 said:

Fallout 3 has what is still, for me, the best tutorial to main game transition in gaming. I spent the next couple of hours wanting my character to hide under a rock, crying. Awesome sucker punch.
New Vegas is a bit of a train wreck (technically it's a disaster, but there's still good Gameplay at the core), but there's more civilisation in the world; people are getting back on their feet, nations are being formed. FO3 is just literally a wasteland with tiny paranoid remnants of society trying to cling to life.
I preferred FO3's take. New Vegas is almost too removed from a post nuclear apocalyptic setting, and I find the Mojave bland an uninteresting by comparison.

Correct, it's the same company in charge. I would start with Fallout 3 and at least the Broken Steel DLC. Exploring Washington after the bombs fall is a rare treat, it's one of the most moving places I've ever experienced in a video game. Broken Steel is the true end to Fallout 3 and it not only allows your character to play past the end of Fallout 3 but it raises the level cap from 20 to 30.
Once you've had fun with that, New Vegas will be waiting and by then probably patched up into a smooth running game. You will also see the added complexities put into New Vegas compared to Fallout 3.
Just finished Boulder...next (story) stop is New Vegas I think.
I got Boone in NoVac, who's ridiculously stronger than me. Kinda thinking of getting rid of him :/.
Can anyone recommend where to get a good shotgun before heading into Vegas? Best I've found is the Caravan Shotgun, and that's a piece of shit.

The Cowboy Repeater is good. Uses .357 ammo, shoots fast, and you can shoot 7 rounds before you have to reload. The best shotgun in the game is the Riot Shotgun, though. The Cowboy Repeater can be found in Primm and Nipton. The Riot Shotgun is sold at this place called Gun Runners you should find right outside Vegas.

I left the Lucky 38 Casino but my companions are no longer with me? Right now I'm outside the strip altogether

I think the reason the 360 patch is coming later, is because of the Dead Money content on Tuesday.
Truant said:
This is the official changelog, and over on the Fallout Wiki there's some more details (though not all of the unspecified changes are on this list quite yet).
Patch is live on the 360.
Been playing the last half an hour, and a few issues have been rectified, some I hadn't even noticed beforehand.
-All NCR regions I was only 'accepted' which is strange considering the number of quests and how much I aligned with them. But now it's back to being Idolized.
-Boone's got his hunting rifle back
E-DE has yet to return though
-Haven't tried any weapons yet, including the Sniper Rifles. I'll try them later. Right now I've just gone to get some stuff from the Brotherhood and NCR safehouses.
-Raul's quest is apparently fixed so I'll finish that.
Good stuff so far. I'm primed and ready for Dead Money now. If it releases this Tuesday.
