As noted in the Fallout 3 story above, I was not able to run the RPG sequel after reinstalling it to see how it does or does not invoke Games for Windows LIVE. I'm getting one of those unreadable dialog boxes that doesn't help much, so I can't tell if the odd message about my .Net 4.0 installation is the culprit. I don't really have the urge to play that game right now, but I don't know if I'll be able to avoid the pull of troubleshooting this to try and figure out what's wrong out of sheer OCD.
