    Will do.

    Edit:
    Okay so after a mad dash to the official forums the long/indefinite load screen seems to be caused by the number of DLC packs installed. Some have reported as long as the total number of DLC present is less than 4 (aka honest hearts+ dead money + 1 perorder/item pack) it shouldn't happen. If you have 4, which means two item packs, then it may not load. Can anyone verify/deny?

    It happened to me, and the only things I have for New Vegas are Dead Money and now Honest Hearts. No preorder stuff.

    Are you on the 360 or PC? I forgot to add that this was from the 360 forum. Either way it shouldn't matter. Guess that fix would be too easy for New Vegas.

    360. It worked fine for me after I restarted the console. We'll see if my save corrupts.

    There damn well better be a barrel magazine mod. And one that puts it in a violin case.

    So apparently the glitch is that I killed some White Leg tribal that a friendly NPC was supposed to kill, hence the reason why the main quest was shortened considerably.

    So far I'm pretty happy with it.

    The setting is pretty, and the combat is a lot more like regular NV than Dead Money was.

    The companion you get is funny at times, too.

    you can even upgrade a Reinforced Leather Armor with gecko hides to give it an extra 5 DT, posion, fire, and rad resistance

    That's pretty cool. Finally something to do with the damn gecko hides.

    Previously it really wasn't worth it.

    I may have to roll a hunter after this. I've never been much for Survival, but some of these craftables are worth it.

    The new perks are interesting, but I don't see myself actually taking them. Except maybe Grunt if I wanted to play an NCR soldier or something.

    Is the .45 stuff available outside the Zion area?

    yep

    just bought myself a bunch of ammo at Gun Runners

    Grunt is a really fabulous perk that covers a lot of great weapons; Assault Carbine, All-American, I presume the crazy strong 12.7 mm unique service rifle in the DLC, and of course the .45's. Easily the best of the bunch. I wonder if Cowboy and Grunt stack for Chance's Knife.

    A place called Red Gate, kind of in the central southwest portion of the map has it

    With Grunt it does like 67 damage.

    Hmm. I haven't found this place yet.

    Maybe I'll go grab the mountaintop guy and see if I can't find it.

    So, Honest Hearts finally released on Steam and it looks like the servers are crapping all over themselves. I probably should have figured since it's been trying to update Amnesia practically all day.

    Does it have the new service rifle fire rate?

    Because doing 61 damage with that sounds pretty damn good.

    I'm not sure; I never bothered to use the service rifle. It shoots fairly fast, though. I know the VATS cost seems to be somewhere in the neighborhood of This Machine, as I can squeeze off four shots with both.

    Does Honest Hearts have any cool melee or unarmed weapons?

    I doubt there will be anything better than the Oh, Baby! but hey, might as well check.

    the non-gun weapons are pretty crap, tbh

    the bear hands suck

    it does have the shiskebab, which can be pretty awesome with the right build but it's just easier to find; you can get it in the vanilla game

    don't go looking for energy weapons either

    actually it seems like a lot of the melee weapons you find in this DLC are the rarer stuff from the main game

    lots of fire axes, shiskebabs, and mantis gauntlets to be had

    There's something in there called the Compliance Regulator. I didn't find it though. It's probably the only energy weapon in the whole thing, unless I'm forgetting some random laser pistols and rifles.

    edit: to be fair, Old World Blues is sure to be an energy Weapons bonanza so I'm not surprised there isn't much to be had here

    So it's glitchey?

    I don't know...?

    I mean, the expedition leader got gunned down in the ambush mentioned in the explanations online, then my goal became to retrieve the map, then go back to the entrance area and go through the "cave" which took me back to the Mojave.... then I got an ending reel... I guess I was supposed to keep the guy alive? but for an entire plot-line to revolve around one guy's survivability in a situation where allied NPCs are bound to die... that would be just retarded.

    yeah that isn't supposed to happen

    Which part?

    I've reloaded the initial ambush 5 times and i can't keep him alive. Even tried standing right in front of him.

    The item dump at the end is a little strange.

    Have other DLCs done that?

    they always die

    I read up on this earlier and it's apparently some weird alt quest you get if you kill the tribal across the bridge you need to talk to

    Didn't see it mentioned on the last couple pages so, questions...

    Does this up the level cap again? And what level is it targeted to? Do you have to be at a certain story point to do it or can you just go?

    I already bought it, I just havent had time to load up my 360.

    I did it starting at 15 and I seemed a little over-leveled for it. I'm not exactly built for a standup fight, so the last bit got rough.

    The level cap goes up 5 more and there are some new perks.
