sniperbob: Far from it, dude. The amount of bugs/glitches in this game could fill up 20 textbooks. Each patch only burns through 1 or 2 textbooks. I get so many random glitches on a daily basis that shouldn't even exist. For example, Angela of OSI disables my playercontrols forever, and even with the console command "enableplayercontrols" she disables it immediately, I have to kill her to get by using console commands. I randomly get catapulted in Freeside, my rep with the NCR suddenly vanishes. Some quests just randomly become forever uncompletable because of faulty AI programming. All these glitches I mentioned happened to me in the span of one week.
Hmm I guess I must be lucky then, I for one have never been randomly catapulted into the sky, I can comete all my quests, and the game no longer randomly freezes. But- I don't have any dlc installed either. I remember in FO3 sometimes the game ran like crap after certain DLC was installed.
I guess it is possible patched vanilla NV runs pretty good.
