I just want to say, though the wait is getting chaffing, I have to say, I strongly respect Obsidian for finishing DLC #2 but waiting until they release a new patch, and according to the announcement, it's not fixing soley 'whoop lol head glitch' It's fixing stability with the game. Personally I hope this let's those going 'RIP OFF!' to see Obsidian is actually trying to make sure New Vegas is a quality product.

dam dlc should be in the patch, we've waited long enough for it. :glare:

:twirl: it's about time we hear some news but still the wait is so unbearable but any news is good news right?

No it shouldnt. The patch should come out first, since this patch is supposed to fix alot of issues. If the new DLC breaks something in the base game, we won't know what if the patch is installed with the DLC at once.

I was kidding :tongue:

I just hope they post a list of the tweaks Jason advertised in the annoncement. But yeah, rather wait a bit longer for a more polished product than get a halfassed fast. Even if it is only a DLC.

I haven't had many problems with New Vegas, and don't really require a patch. Still, it is good that Obsidian is taking the time to patch it right, for the people that actually have game-crippling issues and whatnot. I can wait a few more months for DLC.

Now we just need people on patchwatch for each platform, letting us know when it's available.

*reloads steam/reloads steam/reloads steam* lol

I am very concerned about the weapon balance tweaks. I've got this crazy fear that weapons were nerfed for no good reason other than a few people [censored]ed about them being (ugh) over-powered (vomit).

Hopefully, my fears are totally groundless.

I hope weapon balance means better sounds/handling so that the weapons dont feel so hollow and cheap (esp. automatics), though I seriously doubt it. Also, I disagree with the OP. Bugs don't bother me very much. When I first played FO3 My 360 wasn't hooked up to the internet, so I never got updates. That, combined with the fact that I didn't have a hard drive made the console completely freeze CONSTANTLY. And still I racked up over 100 hours of game time and LOVED IT. NV has no such bugs (or at least they aren't that common). I'd MUCH rather have DLC than a patch, whos changes I probably won't notice. Esp. since they can release a patch latter. This patch better significantly improve the game if we had to wait so damned long for it. Judging from the bethesda post about it being ready in a few weeks, I'd say Honest hearts will be out the first week in may (how convenient, thats my last week of class). I will, however, agree with the OP that it does show that the companies actually care about their consumers and not just making money and that the DLC isnt stuff that "should have been in the game". You want something that should have been in the game? How about the "missing" chapters in Assassins creed, or anything for Fable 3, or the liars and cheats pack for Read Dead (Your telling me the devs actually didn't think of putting gambling in MP? BS).

Does the patch will we announced in the Bethesda Blog or in another post?

I m in 100% agreement with Mr. House, Bethasda, and Obsidian.

I don t mind waiting if its for a good reason.

I hope what they are doing with he weapons is giving NPCs better conditioned weapons.

Great thread....

Agreed. I liked having my sniper rifle being strong, and now it's at 42 (I believe that's the max damage). I didn't like that drop in damage.

I would've rather had the DLC first and dealt with the bugs than have to wait this long.

I certainly hope that the more realistic weapon balances are brought back, I'm tired of shooting a damn deathclaw in the head with an anti-material rifle more than 3 times and still dying.

no no I hope you have it all wrong. The enemy weapons need to be in better condition. This game dosen t need to be any easier for you. Sure you have to shoot a death claw in the head 3 times with a 50 they r the most powerful creature in the game.

If u want realistic uncle sam will give u a realistic weapon and send you to a realistic war. Maybe it you can even qualify as a sniper you ll be able to shoot something In the haed 1 time and it will die relistic like.

im glad they finaly announced some news jus hope the patch is worth the wait cause im sick of having to reload a game twice every hour cause of crashes.
i wonder if we will see more random encounters maybe a couple of bloatfly overlords lol

It's nice to know that they are actually looking at the forums for input into new patches. That would have been nice for Fallout 3 especially on the PS3.

Also checking the forums for issues makes me feel a bit like a BETA tester that had to pay full price for it.

Yah its pretty bad...

is there a list of whats in the patch or only the statement jason bergman wrote?

Just the statement but fix the [censored] iron sights glitch. Seriously that's a new feature added and touted and it wasn't even done right, jeez.

That's not what I meant. I would LOVE to be given a hard game where I'm just as easily killed as my enemy, (or a bit harder to kill, but only a bit.) I mean I want EVERY character to have lower health, including the courier.

At this moment the only thing that I want to be fixed is the Camp Forlon Hope lag, every other thing has been fixed at least in my game (yes even the crashes I dont have one since january)
