So last night I managed to accomplish my goal of reaching New Vegas early (or at least Freeside)

It wasn't easy though. If you attempt to head straight there from Goodsprings, you'll encounter very high level enemies. Most notably the Cazador, giant wasps that move fast, hit hard and poison you.

I attempted to sneak around with my Stealth Boys, but they're Perception must be pretty high because they caught onto me right away and killed me. I needed a new plan. So instead of taking the road, I sort of searched through the cliffs for a way through. Luckily I found an encampment in a canyon. However it was filled with those enemies, so I had to take them out. Fighting a ton of Powder Gangers really paid off, because I had plenty of Dynamite to just lob into the canyon, killing half of them and injuring the others. From there I was able to use VATS to cripple their wings and from there it was a cakewalk.

I used the sleeping bags to fully heal before continuing my adventure. I found my way to an open field and began to explore. I found a small settlement, but quickly realized it was inhabitated by the Viper gang. I had lured their leader away and almost killed them, but their teammates quickly ran over to help and crippled my leg with a grenade. As I was hobbling away bracing for my inevitable death, I saw a horde of Bighorn that had aggroed onto the Vipers. Taking this opportunity I slinked off to the side and let the Bighorns kill the Vipers.

My trek continued, from there it was pretty much a straight shot. I did discover Vault 19 on my way and eventually there I was I had made it. I entered the outskirts of New Vegas; Freeside.

I kinda see what you're talking about with the dialogue variety, but it's always a pleasant treat when it happens. When I found Boxcars, he wasn't happy to see me as I was vilified with the Powder Gangers at that point. I totally agree with your complaints on the characters and quests. The real strength of the Bethesda Fallouts for me has been the side quests and unique locations. It has a wonderful sense of exploration.
