how long till you have use of your arms again VD??

Quite some time. The fact I can't drive is the real problem.

Just got this yesterday. It plays similar to Fallout 3 but I think I liked the urban environment more than the desert.

Haven't really played enough to judge yet but it seems...harder?

Yeah it is harder. New Vegas is made by Obsidian games, they are good at making story driven rpgs with branching paths depending on what you do and how you play. You'll notice it when you get further in. This game is more focused on survival in the wasteland like the past fallouts (not named fallout 3), apparently.

Also I got one name you should remember.

BOON

Visited him sniping in the dino mouth...he seems pissed so my guess is I want to be on his good side.

I can't wait to be able to customize my guns. I'm thinking (hoping?) silencers will be great in this game for some instances where sneaking is going to be the difference between life and death. Been picking off people with my Varmint Rifle since all my shit is so whack right now.

I do have to say, I like the addition of the iron sights to this game. Feels a lot more authentic than the targeting in 3.
