My game keeps crashing after I downloaded the patch. Looks like I am going to have to start over.

Anyone else download Dead Money? I'm only about 20 minutes in, and the atmosphere is already very different than the main game. It's got a Bioshock/House on Haunted Hill vibe going on, pretty cool. Will report back when I've finished it, apparently it takes 4-6 hours.

My game keeps crashing after I downloaded the patch. Looks like I am going to have to start over. Slick, that sucks! You're definitely giving me second thoughts about booting up the game when I get home tonight. Anyone else download Dead Money? I'm only about 20 minutes in, and the atmosphere is already very different than the main game. It's got a Bioshock/House on Haunted Hill vibe going on, pretty cool. Will report back when I've finished it, apparently it takes 4-6 hours. I've yet to download it, but will do so soon. I want to double check and make sure it's not causing any widespread trouble. Definitely liking your initial impressions of it, Coin. Hope it finishes out as well as it started out for you. By the way, did you kill the main questline yet? Just wondering. I'm not rushing it, as I don't know if I'll do more than 1 playthrough or not and want this one to be a game I play for a long time to come.

I'm not rushing it, as I don't know if I'll do more than 1 playthrough or not and want this one to be a game I play for a long time to come. Nope, not even close to finishing the main questline. I've been labeled a terrorist by the NCR though, so that might take a good chunk of the quests away from me. It seems impossible to do a 100% playthrough on your first run because of all the warring factions. I'm a good bit into the DLC now, although I haven't even been into the Sierra Madre yet. Keeping in line with the main game, the writing continues to be some of the best I've run across in gaming. I'd suggest making sure your speech is maxed out and you're at least level 20 before starting Dead Money. Same with lockpicking.

Well, all I'll say from what I've done in game is that you hit the nail on the head with the different factions making it difficult to do a 100% close out of the game, at least from what I've seen so far. But as the old saying goes: when one door closes another opens...or something like that.

I was just attacked by a gang of grannies. No joke. Irate Ida, Malefic Maud, and Rancorous Ruth

Just joined the Brotherhood, they've always been my favourite ever since the very first Fallout. Bad ass techno-paladins who kick ass and take names. The sweet stuff. Plus Power Armor rocks. This is definetly a game I'm gonna play through twice. There's just too much to do for just one playthrough, and a lot of roads get blocked depending on which side you pick. But after I beat it the first time I'm gonna go back to Fallout 3 to get a better perspective on that game.

I am playing Dead Money after reaching level 27. The Evil Dead is also an influence. Body dismemberment or they will get back up.

Still having a blast, by the way. Just can't wait for the battle at Hoover Dam.

[shootemindehead]

Finished this yesterday. I sided with Yes Man. The whole game seemed to end somewhat abruptly though. Hope there's more addon's like there were for Fallout 3.

I never had a days problem with either F3 or Oblivion. But New Vegas is as dodgy as hell. That and it fried my fecking graphics card...GRRRRRRRRR. In fairness, it probably didn't fry your graphics card. That's like blaming Windows Media Player for breaking your speakers. It's virtually impossible for any software to damage properly working hardware. Think about it - if it was possible, you'd have all kinds of viruses designed to fry your processors and memory chips or whatever. But you don't. Seems like your card died or is glitching out maybe because the fan is failing and the unit's overheating.

[slickwilly13]

A word of advice for Dead Money. You will team up with 3 others: a bald and scarred woman, a Nightskin, and a ghoul named Dean Domino. They can be either saved or killed towards the end.   Dean is the trickiest one to save. Despite the fact he is a prick, you must be nice and whatever you do. Do not insult him in any way, because he will try to kill you late in the game. There is no speech check or evidence that will change the outcome if you insult him in any way during your first meeting with him. I had to kill him, unfortunately.

Seems like your card died or is glitching out maybe because the fan is failing and the unit's overheating. Yeh, but I'm blaming Fallout anyway. The VRam chip got burned out on the Geforce 8800GTS, probably due to a combination of overheating and the stress of trying to push the textures in New Vegas, which can be a bit of a monster to run. Anyway, got a GTX 460 now, cos Komplett fluffed the delivery of my original choice. The Sapphire HD5780.
