I believe New Vegas will also only be Steamworks-based. I'll try to confirm if you like?
New Vegas will only be using Steam as its DRM so when you get your copy, it'll install via Steam. FO 3 is going to remain a GFWL title though.
Third edit: Looks like loads of studios are dropping support for GFWL. The only one of note that will use it AFAIK will be Fable 3 on the PC. Makes sense, M$ is releasing it.

Re: Relic Entertainment dropping GFWL
The more DRM crap is dropped the better. While I hate(d) (I still think I hate it) Steam it's been slowly showing it's uses. I can buy some of the older stuff that I missed or long since lost the discs of and if the connection is fast enough and data cap isnt a problem then it works well. Atm my view of steam is that of an online console. You buy the game, its avalible, but you need to be online to play. I hope everything reverts back to steam as a single drm source rather than multiple sources that no one knows where the hell the problem lies.

Losing login details and passwords doesnt classify under "works rather well" in my book. But my internet hasn't failed me for 2 months and counting so far.rustypup wrote: no, you don't.... offline mode works rather well...
