I actually called Ubisoft when I figured out what the problem was, they were happy to not hear bitching about Avatar but were unwilling to fix a game they were about to HD-ify.Thaliur said:

Actually I have played all of them, on my PC with a Dual Core, running Windows 7. The thing that seems to confuse people is that just because the majority of people being vocal have faced issues, doesn't mean that the majority of people face issues. Now I'm not saying that this is the case here, and I'm not saying that this excuses whatever bugs there may be, because it doesn't. I'm just saying that usually the most vocal group in cases like these are the minority, because no one who doesn't have issues has any reason to complain.Wayneguard said:
I played fallout new vegas at launch with all its bugs and I was still perfectly fine with it(occasionally frustrated but still fine). I'll likely get the dlc and whatever bugs it may have are unlikely to spoil my enjoyment of it.
My favorite early bug has to be the one that would make me lose my quick saves (I am an avid user of quicksave) after a crash resulting in me being required to do a hard save every so often just to be safe.

Had zero problems with Old World Blues, any of the other DLC, or New Vegas. Never a single crash, never a single freeze, never a single glitched mob or item, nothing.
/shrug.
Very much enjoyed the new DLC, looking forward to the next.

EDIT: Woot for the double-post. /sigh
As a sidenote, this double-post represents more problems than what I had with New Vegas.

Having modded New Vegas OWB was actually written on toilet paper. It erases quest scripts and screws up setting for various items. I read reports where people couldn't even get the stock game to load with JUST NV and DLC running. This game was made like total shit.Sm0gg said:
OWB was probably the least buggy DLC I've played for New Vegas, in fact it's probably the least buggy Fallout DLC I've ever played with The Pitt being the worst in my personal experience.
I'm getting conflicting reports, I forgot to mention I'm playing a PC version, I only play games on PC **stares down nose at all consul gamers**robert01 said:
I'm seriously considering re-installing & seeing if that helps, I heard that a bad save can cause the game to crash for the rest of that games log so maybe that's the problem, but I kinda doubt it.
Like I said NV was fine, maybe 2 crashes for a whole 30-40 hours, OWB has caused me considerable heartache & soured my feelings towards the franchise & I really loved Fallout. Played 2 /3 & NV.
Thanks for the responses - been real
The only bug I've encountered so far was a refusal to load in the Gomorrah main floor with OWB in the load list. Removed it and it worked first time. Other than that it's been 100% smooth 100% of the time.
New Vegas was such a mess, I think there?s more than enough blame to go around. Sure Obsidian are the crack-heads that took the dump in our drives, and they really could?ve done a much better job in making a more stable game. However they were working off the engine that Bethesda has barely got working after beating it like a dead horse for the past decade. Bethesda also did much of the testing and as the publisher, they were the morons who approved it and said it was ready to go to shelves. They?re also the pricks who took 6 months to fix the damn game; that is assuming that it actually works now ? I wouldn?t know, I got rid of it a while ago.Lt. Vinciti said:
San Andreas is a favorite of last gen and Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games from this gen (so I?m pretty tolerant of glitches) but I?m definitely renting Skyrim and anything else by Bethesda before buying, just to make sure it can run for 15 mins before crashing.
More than just pissing me off as a gamer, New Vegas pissed me off as a consumer: any product that broken should be recalled. It?s too bad gamers aren?t very demanding consumers; it?s the main reason we?re overcharged and underserviced.
And frankly, after lending NV out to a few people and not being able to find one person who was even willing to play it to the end, I have a hard time believing all these people who said they didn?t have any problems with it. The only way that?s possible is if you got it for the PC after the modders had their way with it.
The only "bug" i have found is that you can easily use a sonic emitter to fix something else thus removing it from your inventory. Without giving away the game suffice it to say this is bad. Other than that I have not seen any bugs or glitched in old world blues at all.
Didn't have a problem with OWB's at all.
I was quite surprised considering the amount of complaints i'd seen about it freezing up on the closing cinamatic and people not being able to leave and get back to the Wasteland.
Then again beside the rare ctd I get in the actual game I haven't had much problem with F:NV.
Although to be fair I do use a lot of user generated fixes and patches that seem to correct most bugs.

Yar, my game rarely crashes and it usually only does it when I'm exiting anyway. Also throughout my entire time playing Fallout: New Vegas I've only encountered somewhere around 4 freezes. Considering that I've played it over 125 hours, I'd consider that a fairly good track record.TheBoulder said:

Usually the unlucky few that have issues like that with new content but it seesm to be this time it was the lucky few that didn't.
It really did surprise me how many issues came with OWB.
If you do get the motivation to try it again at some point I hope it works out for you, it is worth playing through.
If you take a look at sites like Nexus a few players came up with some fixes for some of the issues.
Very few problems with Vegas in the 100+ hours that I've played. I played through Honest Hearts with no bugs, about 1/3 of the way through Dead Money and only had one instance where I had to restart. Haven't gotten around to Old World Blues yet.
Fallout 3 had a lot more bugs for me than Vegas, I couldn't even do the Broken Steel quests because a bug made it impossible to complete the first mission.

How the fuck do you futureproof stuff like this? you're essentially asking them to provide compatibility for billions of possibilities, it in no way is feasible and most of the time all you can rely on is that they'll provide it with re-releases or that modders will fix it.Wayneguard said:
But yeah, i have only once crashed in Old World Blues and it is simply too good of a DLC to quit playing, seriously it has to be one of the best exploration-piece of a DLC ever. The environments are original and inventive, there are different levels to each terrain (providing you with more ways to approach each situation and to explore) and the characters are funny.
