The first of what will likely be many updates has appeared for Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian's buggy-but-brilliant post-apocalyptic roleplaying game. The first patch is for PC, and while it won't fix everything, it's stitched together a few of the game's open wounds.
The update fixes "quest and scripting issues" and will automatically download to your game. As of this time, there's no news on an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 patch, but Bethesda has said it plans to support the consoles as quickly as possible.
It seems that Bethesda has its work cut out for it if it wants to fix New Vegas' veritable army of problems.

We recently posted an initial review of the new game and also a review roundup and most opinions were pretty favourable except for one thing, the amount of technical bugs. Most reviews remarked on this and said the scores for Fallout: New Vegas would have been higher if there had been no glitches.

Users on PC’s, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have all reported problems with freezing whilst playing the game.

We’d welcome your thoughts on this so please do send in your comments.anticipated sequel, Fallout: New Vegas to the public after gamers had waited months for it. While the game is exactly what everyone had hoped for, it’s also not without the flaws that naturally come with a title of this magnitude. In New Vegas you can find everything from exorcism heads to crazy freezes at the most inopportune time.

Apparently, there was a patched released for the PC version of the game a bit earlier, thus we expect a console release to take place within the next week as well. Speaking through an official press release for the game, a Bethesda representative assured users that the company was aware of the issue and working on it.
