Just bought the game and all the current DLC for $25. Looking forward to digging into it on my PC and seeing if it's as good of an experience as Fallout 3 was on my 360.

So I see New Vegas is just $10. I'm new to Bethesda RPGs. Is this a good place to start or would I get my ass handed to me?

What of the Fallout:NV DLC's are worth it. I bought my copy at launch and didnt play it (UGH.... never letting THAT happen again) so I am starting it soon.

You're not going to get you ass handed to you. These games are pretty easy.

Anyone getting crashing issues in the game after playing for a while?

Did you already get the perk where you can tag a 4th skill?
momolicious said:
Yes. The game runs more and more like shit the longer you play, it requires frequent reboots.

You're using mods/NVSE aren't you? This is basically to be expected, it's one of the reasons I always go offline when I'm playing NV so I don't spam people with five "jim-jam is playing" notifications in a row.
Guys, I'd like to see if anyone here could help me out:
A guy here at my Friendlist actually wants all the 3 DLC for New Vegas, but he has a problem: he lives in Ukraine and his store strangely shows the New Vegas NA version at sale, but the DLC's actually are the Russian version, and they're incompatible.
I don't know if you guys are onto this region-problem, but actually there are 2 or 3 versions of New Vegas (NA/1C/Cenega), and you have to buy all the aditional content from the same region or it won't work (yes, believe it).
So I'd like to ask if anyone here wouldn't be up to a trade involving these 3 DLC. He would gift any game at the equal value.
Please PM me.

I haven't installed mods any yet. I checked the Steam forum and it seems like a common issue. I disabled the in-game overlay and it launched.
Anyways, one thing I love about this game is the potential for evil.
set you free, eh?
I still got the journal!

Any way I can check that? My F:NV is from Russian version. Will Steam prevent me from buying the DLC? Save menu version info shows ENGLISH btw.

Nice. If you're going evil make sure you get cannibalism, the hidden perk associated with it is extremely useful, especially on Hardcore.

Cheers, got them all, if anyone else is going to try this I'd advise putting the game difficulty on very high so that everyone has more HP, you get the achievements much quicker than normal.QuiteWhittle said:
Only 1 Achievement left to get. Who thought it would be a good idea to make winning 30 caravan games an achievement? I'm going to be here all night doing the most boring thing in the game.

Caravan is awesome, especially now that they've fixed the AI.

I also have EN/PL/CZ/RU languages, but I don't see how that could prevent you from buying or activating DLC? Will Steam detect your version and not allow you to make a purchase?

Picked up all 3 NV DLC's. According to http://steamsales.rhekua.com/, I overpaid by 6 dollars since they apparently were all only 2.99 each during summer sale, but I'm not going to fret over 2 bucks.

Got my S Rank(If that's what people are still calling getting all achievements) and I still feel like I have barley scratched the surface, looking on the wiki I have barley done a quarter of the side quests.

Well, I TOFTT - ENG/PL/CZ/RU version, I can confirm you can buy the DLC normally (mine was denominated in EUR).

Did it start at a percentage > 0%? If it did, that's just standard. It adds DLC you haven't installed to the total size of the game, so when it starts downloading it will start at like 92% and just download the DLC.
Big plan to wipe out all of Caesers legion tomorrow. I'll smuggle some weapons into their main base (sneak of 100 
) and try silently take them all out. I think I'll get an extra companion (already have Raul) and tell them to wait somewhere hidden in case anything goes wrong.
I got the finesse perk and Mr Sandman. I should hopefully do well. Going to be great fun.
In other news, I followed a line of legionaires and killed them all one by one. Was pretty fun not being detected.

Just teared through Cottonwood Cove, Aurelius didn't even know what hit him from other side of the map.

How are you planning on getting past the gate without them attacking you? I always clear The Fort on my Han/Luke runs, and I always get rushed as soon as I open the main gate, and then again once I enter Caesar's tent. That's even with stealth-boys.

Got on the game and DLC on steam like a lot of people(downloading, now). I have no desire to play with mods, but is there anything out there that I need to make the game run properly? The d3d9.dll isn't necessary anymore right?

Just finished OWB. Wow, that was great. Really grueling, maybe level 12 wasn't the best time to get in there. But LAER+energy weapons really saved my butt. Gained 10 levels while I was there...
To avoid crashing like crazy on Win7-64, set the executable to run as Windows XP SP3 (right click -> properties, it's easy to find) and run in windowed mode.
That fixes most of the problems. I still have a crash every few hours but it's always while loading - without the SP3 setting it will dump you whenever the hell it likes. (Windowed mode prevents another really irritating "crash" where the game keeps running but your display window is turned into a desktop portal. So you basically gotta learn how to blind quit, or just play in a window)
It's possible disabling aero might help too but I haven't tried it yet.

I'm surprised there are so many factions you can side with in NV, I remember F3 having only
choices at the end.

Hmm it shouldn't be, mods are all overrides rather than replacements so they don't touch Steam at all. My advice for all mod users is to make a Steam backup of the game just in case anyway, so you may want to do that once the DLC is all finally downloaded.
Castor Krieg said:
Castor, but my situation was different hehe. It's not that the Russian or European version wouldn't get the DLC. They do, but my problem was that the Store I access here is the North American one, and I got gifted the New Vegas from the Russian store (and therefore the russian game).
As I did a little more research, it seems that it has all the patches, but for me the problem is that as I can't access the Russian store here, I am not able to buy the DLC for my version of game. The NA DLC won't work for me because it only works with the NA version of New Vegas.
But I am working on it, I hope the support can change my game version.

Well the sale has motivated me to finally play through OWB. Was going to wait until I was back home with my rig, but I think I'll just start a new character with no mods and a 360 pad since I've never played all the way through on a controller.

In my game, he stayed indoors in his office.
I sniped everyone in Cottonwood Cove, with the Gobi rifle, except him.
Then lastly I kicked in his door, and caught him behind his desk.
He barely made it to his feet before I emptied an entire 10mm submachine gun clip into him, with Boone and ED unloading as well.
After I killed every Legion soldier, I dumped the toxic barrels on the town.
Sweet.
