Did the same thing, both with this game and Fallout 3. Even went out of my way to get exploit items (two Cram Openers, Mysterious Magnums, Acoustic Guitars, etc.). When I got to this point, I do one good save that is in the Presidential Suite (Or the Megaton House in F3) and wait for the DLC areas. The main difference between New Vegas and Fallout 3, is that in Fallout 3, I saved right before the march with Liberty Prime, while in this game, I saved before starting any of the Faction-specific Storyline quests (Things that Go Boom, The House always Wins, Render unto Caesar, and Wild Card). That way, if DLC comes out with Faction specific objectives, quests, or items, I won't be locked to a specific faction. Even managed to maximize skill points, so that all of my skills are 75 (except Explosives, which is 70).
I would love to try out some Mods, but being on the console (a NON-hacked console), I cannot do such a thing.
