Old World Blues has been released (surprisingly "early" in the day). The third and latest $10 DLC adds new terrain, new enemies, and new perks and weapons. The level cap will also be increased by 5.
Note: Currently Old World Blues is only available in the US.
The description of Old World Blues can be read below.
The residents of the Mojave have long assumed the trackless wastes of the ‘Big Empty’ are a no-man's-land, a desolate stretch where no living thing can survive. In Old World Blues, you discover that it is anything but...
After being transported to the Big MT research crater, you find you're the only hope of saving the Think Tank – the strange group of post-human researchers who inhabit the facility. They enlist your aid to save them from their own experiments - experiments that have gone horribly out of control. As you explore the huge stretch of the Big MT crater and its many underground labs, you’ll confront strange mutated animals, battle terrifying new atomic robots, and discover a new home base to call your own. Recover all the weapons, armor, and tech of the Pre-War era and use them to help save all of Science!

DR. MOBIUS!!!!
The first time I went in there it told me I wasn't high enough leveled for it. Okay, so, I turned back. Later, when I had my level, I went in.
I won't post any spoilers, but what turned me off right away was that you go into a place where all kinds of characters gives you more information than you'd ever want or could possible recall for later use. It seemed like about a half hour before before they were done talking to me and each other. That's a LONG time NOT to be playing the game, listening to dialogue and hoping I've remembered the parts of it that I would need later on in the game. By the end of the little "briefing" I'd lost interest in actually going out and experiencing whatever adventures it holds.
Please don't reply calling me evil names or anything. I am NOT reviewing a DLC I haven't played here, I'm just commenting on how much intro it has, something tedious that I HAVE "played." Eventually, when I want to give it another try I will go through the whole DLC and see what playing it is like.
I need to get into the playing of a DLC MUCH faster than this one allows.
My two shekels worth.
edit: and no CTDs so far even with +80 mods running
I reset the timescale to normal and its been ok since.
