i was on the Bethesda Softworks blog— site just a few ago and posted some thoughts and asked some QA's about the upcomming LR DLC and with in 5 min i got an answer (no kidding 5 min) that along with reading some of the answers that the staff folks here in these fourms post. is what i think alows them to keep the fan base.
sure we all rumble about things getting pushed back etc.. but you got to hand it to them at least they are working on it.

oh god no not the “SOON” word agian. say it isnt so my ears and hart cant take much more on a side note you know the folks at xbox are real friggen happy think of all the folks that went out and got the 1600 point cards just for the DLC and now creeps in COD and black ops with real big smiles cuz alot of these folks will just think ok i got some points and unlike this game thier map packs come out when they say they will. and there goes all the money to the other games. which is very sad as i see it beeing all the folks here are die harden vault freaks. . so to all my fellow Fallout lovers i say keep the faith i will save my points and wait with you too.

xxxxx BUT xxxx
i understand the dlc getting pushed back but give us the patch now so we can play what we have,,,,,,,,
also you realy might want to change your thoughts about changing LR to be open ended after all of this and before we go through all the drama agian why dont you just go ahead and tell us LR release is getting moved also i truly love the game but in no means dont missunderstand my love of the game.for my willness to hear or accept this huge lack of info from you. i am sure the die hard Fallout players are willing to take these moves of these dlc’s in stride as long as you all are up front with us. but going back to the issue of this patch it was well posted in the fourms about all the bug fixes that have already been done why not give that patch to us now while we wait.????. i am sure your team is working hard to chase down the rest of them or most of them before you send the dlc out. it would go a long way i am sure with the huge fan base even if you release the bug fix patch now and then a 2nd one just before the dlc…..your call…but this time pick the dam phone up so to speak.

@darkman, we’ll share more info on Lonesome Road as we get closer to its release. With Old World Blues’ release shifting, you can expect a similar shift for Lonesome Road.

outstanding reply thats why i stay and no thats not a smart xss statement .i am sure it means alot to others as it dose me to see a replay to a QA ……ok now stop typing and get back to work .
keep up the good work pls. pass that on the the rest of the folks

:facepalm:

it was just a thought :whistling:

September 20th, 2011. You heard it here first.
Ludicrous.

As long as Lonesome Road doesn't come out on 15 November, 2011, I'll be happy.

Or 11 November 2011 either. I hear there might be a bit of a conflict of interest that day.

HAHA

Yeah, it's my brother's birthday.

I think I'm gonna bet with Carolina and say September as well. Sad, but I think likely.
At the very least, it'll keep my hopes down. Just think, last time a Fallout game came out, we had 4, with a brand new one on the way.
Granted Mothership Zeta was boring as hell, but we had 3 other DLCs that rocked and Operation Anchorage too.

Also my sons birthday

I'm actually cool with that, I'd rather space things out than have them all bunched up together. Gives you something to look forward to.

Yeah there is no way I'm buying LR in November.


Edit:Wrong month

LR is coming out December 23 2012, DONT YOU KNOW!??!

But I'll be too busy playing Call of Duty 8: Attack of the Robo Nazis...
