First off, Fallout 3 and now Fallout: New Vegas are far and away my favorite Xbox 360 games, but I've had a few encounters in NV that have discouraged me a bit.

In the new DLC, Dead Money, I played through to the casino and did Christine's mission first after I turned the power on, then I went on to do Dog's mission, "Put the Beast Down." Immediately upon entering the room in which he is in, my collar begins to beep. There isn't any radio that I can turn off/destroy, and the time is less than 10 seconds before my head is blown to kingdom come. I even managed to run to Dog and convince him and God to merge, but I died right after I ended the conversation. No matter what I do, my head explodes, and because the door locks behind me, I'm trapped. I realize that good practice is to save often, but unfortunately my last manuel save was way out in the villa, even before I had unlocked the casino, so that sets me back a few hours.

My second issue, although not related to the DLC, is also very irksome. I played through my campaign siding with the NCR, but on the mission "You'll Know It When It Happens," no matter what I do, I'm stuck. I have protected President Kimball from everything, and even seen his entire speech and him fly off in the Vertibird untouched, and the mission says it is completed and I get experience. However, everyone remains in "panic" mode, and Ranger Grant either grits his teeth at me or says good work (but no dialog box appears). I go inside Hoover Dam and talk to Col. Moore, and she asks me if the president is safe, and my only option is to say "I would like to ask you some questions." to which she responds that I need to go protect the President. So, after going with the NCR the whole game, I can't progress any further in their questline due to this bug. I have reloaded and done other things, but every time I go back and do that mission, same results.

Virtually, that save is unplayable for the NCR questline, so I was forced to end the game siding with Yes Man. I know a patch was released, but I didn't notice any differences, and I was wondering if anything could be done to rectify this at all. Thank you for reading all of this/hopefully responding.

now that i have gotten D-M DLC my game is soooo laggy that i cant evan play. the load time is soo bad its like 5 min every time i go through a door...(Side note) i was trying to do the ED-E my love quest and now i cant because i went to Helios one and went outside and then major lag happened then here comes old lady gibson wit all her dogs and a ton of rad scorpions... now she is dead ..... this game has ben a let down to me because all these bugs.... :brokencomputer: :cryvaultboy:

i've only had one bug happened but its a really annoying one i completer dead money go back to the wasteland and loads of factions (like the NCR) are neutral towards which ok doesn't sound that bad but when i go near them they attack me straight away i really want them to release a patch for this

I agree Fallout 3 was great but NV is filled with bugs if i would have looked at what people were saying about it I'd never would have gotten it. I can't even play it because of Sound problems, Can't get any NPCs to talk out loud. and it kills the game play.

Had the that problem a few times.....One is when I had rex with me on the roof.he didn't "like" the engineer. But the way through it was to examine vertibird (remove the "object") then I went to the tower and watched the sniper fall.climbed tower and took care of legion in disguise.radioed the ranger and let the other rangers take care of the third "sleeper agent"...then wait for vertibird to get out of view.
