The thing that irritates me most about this game would probably be conceived as minutia to others...I can't stand how easy it is to receive good karma. I tried to make my third character as evil as possible, I named him Damien, and I was pretty just killing, lying, and cheating whoever I could...However, every single time I got ambushed by a couple of fiends my karma would shoot up to neutral or good pretty much no matter what. So once I figured this out I'd have to run from friends or Jackal gang members every single time I came into contact with them, which just got ridiculous.

You're talking about Elder Mcnamara 
Elijah was the previous elder who went AWOL and batshit insane searching for a lost treasure(zing!) to eradicate the NCR.

Oh shit, thanks for clearing that up. Now I remember!
Anyway, bottom line, I'm getting that loot

Is this as fun as Fallout 3?
I'm pretty apathetic about console gaming right now.

I have a quick question for PC players. Can this game be played fully offline, or with a very minimal internet connection? Does the game need Steam to activate, and beyond that, once you've activated, does it need to "check in" at any point? A buddy of mine wants to buy this for his brother who is over in Iraq, but he basically only has dialup equivalent internet over there, or none at all. The game itself, obviously, has no online component, but will he be able to manage, what with DRM and all? Thanks.

Funner! I just beat the game, and I was really happy with my time playing it. If I don't figure something else out to play coming up, I'll probably jump back in for a second playthrough to try things differently. But man, I really enjoyed what I did play.

I just have a feeling I'll miss Three Dog and all that awesomeness.
It's a massive undertaking playing these games, because I have to do everything. :\

Regarding Vault 34:
So I chose to save the people trapped in the Vault, dooming the Sharecropper Farms. Weird thing is, I expected to see them before leaving after the Quest Completed message appeared. Left the Vault, headed back to Vegas, and they were nowhere in sight. I thought it kind of strange. Did I miss them somewhere?

If you like exploring buildings and underground areas filled with insects, ghouls or super mutants, you'll like Fallout 3 more.
If you like exploring a world that actually has people in it and spend most of the time doing quests New Vegas is a much, much better game.
They are really two very different games.

Hrm. I think the 360 update not only erased my leveled up Rex, but in return made him much more powerful with less health... I'm not sure what happened, but I like it.

They're in one of the Aerotech suites which I think is southeast of the NCR sharecropper farms.

Thanks. I'll go look for them now.
Third night of playing PC version 1.2 of this thing. Started a new game.
No major issues! I had one incident where the screen went black during VATS, but returned to normal after the mob was dead.
I am pleased. I'm getting close to the point where I was when the 360 version annihilated my saved games though.

Does the 360 patch fix broken game saves?

I thought this patch fixed the Ranger Andy glitch for Raul's quest?

:lol He can never stop fighting for me. Cazadors in the far reaches of the mountains beckon him every time we're on a highway, and I have to kill all the ones he seems to pick fights with.

Do the controls on PC lock up from time to time for anyone else? Like i'll just be playing and all of a sudden my controls will either not respond or be massively delayed.
I started my second walkthrough and decided to take a look at lands near Sloan. I know there are a lot of Deathclaws and I'm only level 2 but still.
First I discovered a road to Black Mountain - the location I haven't visited on my first walkthrough. Then I was able to sneak past Deathclaws using my stealth boy. And then voila! I'm in New Vegas working for McGraphs whom I wiped out on my first run. This game is full of win.

Karma doesn't do anything in NV anyways. It's just faction rep, I don't even know why they left karma in there.

I have a feeling it was supposed to be more influential for followers but was toned down for time or design reasons. Cass still leaves you if your karma is bad but everyone else is a little bit more forgiving.
