Been waiting for the patch since the first week of release and I'm thinking about starting a New Game just out of fear of what could possibly happen down the line if I'm playing on an old save file. Has anyone started a New Game, and have you experienced any of the previous bugs? Or has anyone stuck things out on their old save, and if so how are things going? Thanks.

i have kept going with my save i had before the patch level 22 and i was stuck in a room everytime i tried to get out it forze but after the patch its working 100% and im loving it!!!! but its nothing to do with the patch but its for you would you know what is happening if i install FONV on my HD and its says disc is unreadable? its really confusing

I won't be starting a new game until I run into a bug that bothers me. I have only had minimal bugs playing this game but I started with the game installed and 2nd patch installed. I am 70 hours into the game and only bugs I ran into were items falling through floors and disappearing when grabbing an item that is near. Medical Mystery quest cannot be completed because the guy I have to steak out is stuck underground with a clipping glitch. I saw one NCR person crucified by Ceaser's Legion and he was floating in mid-air instead of on the cross. I saw one or two radscorpions stuck half-way in the ground. Old Lady Gibson, her dogs, and some molerats started appearing out of nowhere when I would enter the back area of Helios One and they would all be hostile. To bypass that bug I fast travelled from the North instead of the south to Helios One. I guess picking a fast travel route that didn't pass Gibson's shack fixes that bug. All in all that is all I experienced so far, granted I have been avoiding game breaking quests. But today I am going all out and we will see if the game breaks.

because youve played 70 hours do you know anyway to change your appearance?

I've started a new game with the patch, just so I can use Energy Weapons properly. Only glitch so far is something weird going on with the critical hits.
