I've played New Vegas for long enough to properly join up with the NCR. I just got the main For the Republic quest from Colonel Moore, and have been tasked with dealing with the Great Khans.

I haven't had many technical problems, except for one major one: the AI. Whenever an NPC or enemy starts to move, it is a mystery where they will go and how many directions they will take to get there. It makes combat even jankier than it already is: enemies you're attacking will turn on a dime or get stuck in walls, and enemies attacking you can often be thwarted by backing up. The backing up strat has been especially effective so far with Veronica and Rex as my companions - I walk into the enemies' range to alert them, and in a few seconds all that's left is a pile of punched and bitten bodies.

And surprisingly, I like this approach to the combat. It doesn't feel like compromising a major part of the game, because the world and the NPCs are what's more important. I'm enjoying the pattern of going to a new area, talking to everyone there, and getting quests that have a lot of options for how to affect things. I can see it becoming repetitive later but for now it's working at keeping me invested.
