« on: November 30, 2010, 06:15:24 AM »Fallout New Vegas was something of a glitchy mess and I didn't enjoy it to the degree I did with Fallout 3 because of that, but it's still not a bad game.
You know, I've played it through only once, but I tried to go everywhere conceivable and find as much of everything (as far as locations go, anyway) as I could, and I think it only crashed to desktop on me three...maybe four times in what was probably 60+ hours of gameplay. Other than that, I experienced hardly any glitches (that I noticed, at least); there were a couple times when my character would get stuck in the curb or rocks or what have you if I crouched/uncrouched at just the wrong time, and then everything control-wise would lag/freeze for 10 seconds or so, then I would un-stick from the environment. Other than that, I had a few random NPCs (like just one of the 5 fire geckos that were trying to eat me) turn into 'flagged as unkillable' where they would just go unconscious instead of exploding into a puddle of gore. Don't recall any other bugs, major or minor. I'm playing through Dragon Age Origins: Awakening (its been sitting on my desk glaring at me incessantly since my birthday, so I figured I better play it) right now, then I'll probably have another go at Fallout New Vegas and see what other bugs I can find.
My only real complaint is that they chose to make it a pseudo-sand box world, unlike Fallout 3. FO3 you could literally go anywhere you could conceivably walk/hop/wiggle, there were no 'dead zones' except for the areas outside the bounds of the overland map. FO:NV has multiple areas where you should be able to walk but are stopped by the 'invisible wall'...As such, for example, instead of being able to walk over that ridge, I have to walk all the way around...
