He'll go and pick up a better weapon if he can find one. I've had him disappear on me for up to 10 minutes only to reappear on a walkway above me just wailing on some poor mutant (apparently, he's like some psychotic monster and can see enemies from miles away) only to spot me, and then run off the edge of the bridge and die...and then revive a few seconds later because story related NPCs can't die. Its actually kinda funny.

On another note, New Vegas was developed by some of the people who worked on Fallout 2, so there's some references to the previous Fallout games in this one and the game is more cynical and has better humor in it. Of course, if you didn't like Fallout 3, you probably won't like Fallout: New Vegas.

*Chuckles* It's even worse in games like Vampire: The Masquerade. You can literally walk within 10 feet in front of someone but if you're in sneak mode you're invisible...somehow.

I'll probably get Vegas: somehow I managed to avoid almost all the bugs in Fallout 3 and all of Obsidian's games that I've played, so I'm not too worried about those.
The folks at Obsidian are great writers, and I actually liked Alpha Protocol, even though it was horribly unbalanced and the dialogue system could have been rethought.
And I actually liked Fallout 3: sure, it might not have been like 1 or 2, but I still liked what Bethesda did with it, unlike what they did with the TES series when they released Oblivion.

So I decided to restart and now I"m running around punching and stabbing people and watching their head's explode. Melee/Unarmed builds are fun.

Talking bout bugs, I casually shot a villain with my 9mm pistol from close range, He suddenly flies when I shoot him, and then my dude (again casually) shoots him in vats from the air with 95% accuracy and his head explodes. It was awesome.

Some bugs are brilliant.

Damn, that zombie follower thing sounds awesome. Sad that I won't get to see it in the game (Which I just bought. I don't do well with pressure.)

I picked this game up and I'm having fun with it. Slowly working through it--

I am doing a bunch of the smaller quests and exploring locations around New Vegas now.
