I've been away from New Vegas for a while now because eventually I got bored. Not much was happening to keep me interested and my own projects became less and less motivating to work on, so i stopped. I'm wondering how the latest patch affected things, I have it half downloaded on Steam, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to finish downloading it and try playing again.

If I need to completely redo everything regarding mods, then I'm not going to bother, so I'm asking you guys. Did this patch repeat the mistakes of FO3's patches and completely screw everything up? Or does it actually work well?

....might as well finish downloading it as you cant play the game at all now until you finish patching it, as the moment you let steam start updating a game you cant play it till said update is finished FYI

It works quite well for me.

For the most part the patch has caused no serious issues and instead fixed many problem areas of the base game. There were minor hiccups such as Boone's combat AI being partially broken but it was quickly fixed by modders. I haven't seen any issues where the patch caused mods to break beyond needing to be updated (many stat changes), but perhaps I've missed them. :shrug:
