Just-released Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts has problems.
Bethesda's Xbox 360 (http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/forum/129-new-vegas-dlc-issues-360/) and PC forums (http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/forum/127-new-vegas-dlc-issues-pc/) are awash with error reports.
More specifically, users have reported that already known issues with the main "E-DE, My Love" quest from New Vegas are preventing gamers from starting Honest Hearts.
Bethesda is aware of this and is working on "a fix", promised company poster "Nick" on the Bethblog (http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/05/17/honest-hearts-now-available-on-xbox-live-and-steam).
However, Nick issued a warning relating to this fix that suggests some players may have to start the sprawling role-playing game over if they wish to play the DLC.
"If you already have a save game where the bug is occurring, the fix will not apply and you'll need to revert to an earlier save prior to ED-E leaving in order to play through Honest Hearts," he said.
Bethesda has also offered advice to Steam gamers (http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1183081-having-trouble-after-downloading-honest-hearts/) who can't start Honest Hearts. The solution involves opening Steam, right-clicking on Fallout: New Vegas, selecting Properties, clicking Local Files and then Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
If that doesn't work, Bethesda suggests deleting your .ini files.
Eurogamer awarded Fallout: New Vegas - Honest Hearts 6/10 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-18-fallout-new-vegas-honest-hearts-review). The add-on hasn't yet been released on PlayStation 3 because of PlayStation Network downtime.
