Well you can still play seeing as i havnt seen you complain about more than one of your saves being corrupted, and by looking at the staff's post a Patch shoudnt be far away?
and i will buy the dlc and if it mucks up my game ill start another charcter, i usally open Fallout into Roleplaying charcter's
I have shelved my game because i have no desire to lose my 60 odd hours of gameplay, which i have spent exploring and avoiding the strip.
I have around 3 uncompletable quests due to bugs.
I have lost around 7-8 hours gameplay due to the black screen save corruption bug.
Thats not even mentioning the numerous stuttering, frame dropping, inventory hogging quest items, etc bugs i have.
But i always put my games on the shelf and avoid them until they are fixed.
Hell, why bother buying them on release date at all, just ring the company before release, ask when the game will be fixed and just wait until then.
Or just buy a game in October and expect to play it in December...oh wait,i did that already.
