Favourite bugged incidents in your playthroughs, go!

In my current hardcore mode playthrough I have a bugged NCR Ranger that I called on the NCR's help radio to deal with a Legion assassination squad... well, she won't leave. I've dismissed her twice, went out of NCR jurisdiction, and...

...She even followed me to Big Mountain!

Where she decided to stand in front of me during the really long and unavoidable initial introduction sequence.

Such a... ah... lovely view of your skull there Ranger lady... can you move, please? Maybe? No? Okay...

I had a native guy in Zion get eaten by Rex and his arms started flapping around like he was a deflating balloon. Something interesting I found out about him is that he actually did damage while like that, since a group of Natives spawned and got instagibbed by his flailing body parts.

Another one I had was that guy who won the lottery in the town that the Legion burned down. He talked to me, then ran the OPPOSITE way he was scripted to, so I saved and followed him. We eventually ended up in Novac where he went inside the t-rex and Boone blew his head off.

4311332 Heh, those sound pretty funny. Hmm, to win the lottery for your life just to run in front of a sniper.

As for the other...

I was doing a run though of New Vegas and after I got the chip from Benny I didn't go right back to House. I was exploring Vault 11 and a notification flashed before I could read saying something about House. When I returned to the Strip all the Securitrons started to attack me and House was already dead. I'm not sure how, this made me have to go with Yes Man instead, sense I was going with House. I guess the game had other plans.

Same run through I rescued the soldiers at Nelson, and their whole body was crippled. Afterward, they started patrolling injured and unarmed. Several times I passed these same troopers still hurt and unarmed, at least five times. They eventually came into the Quarry as I was clearing it and were destroyed by the Death Claws. I avenged the "Butthurt Battalion" though, my name for them after the second time seeing them.

A guy with his arms blown off was smoking a cigarette in New Vegas and no one seemed to care!!!!

4311647 Heh, oddly enough my first playthrough of NV I don't remember encountering any major bugs at all. Only the occasional creature glitched into the ground or a rock or something, that's about it.

Well... actually there was one: an entire BoS patrol got stuck inside a rock, I don't know how, but there were 6 Paladins inside a rock with T-51b power armour, Gauss Rifles, and Tri-Beam Laser Rifles. It was hilarious. All I had to do was use the wait system and they popped back out, but man was it funny.

4311768 He obviously does that a lot and it's perfectly normal to them. He just has some epic yoga skills and can pick up a lighter and cigarette with his foot.

The time when my game crashed…

4312116 But that's not a fun one...

(I had the infinite loading one multiple times when I started this new game. Despite having had deleted my old saves it was still listing the new ones where the old ones left off, so my first save was listed as #143. I had to go in the game, delete it, the autosave as well, and purge the cell buffer [pcb command] to clear it all out. That fixed it, which is good. It got real annoying having to load a older save and then load the new one once in the game, or even have to start a new game and load the save once in the game from there, since sometimes both the manual and the autosave would have the glitch occur.)

I can really only remember one glitch that literally had me saying "what the fuck is happening" and that was one I was doing the Helios 1 quest and I had just exited into the solar panel yard. Soon as it loads I start hearing that noise that gets made when you push around empty oil drums, except it sounds like it's happening a hundred times at once, repeatedly. I'm just standing there trying to figure out where the noise is coming from when suddenly, I'm pushed forward by about six empty oil drums spawning right where I was standing. They proceed to fall over and glitch into the ground producing even more noise, then 5 mole rats spawned on top of the barrels and started to attack me. Then Old Lady Gibson spawns in a sitting position along with 3 of her dogs, she gets up, starts attacking me with her knife and the dogs, joining the mole rats.
At that point I paused and reloaded. Never happened again.

I remember I was fighting a giant rad scorpion and it glitches into the ground. I shot it a couple times then it got slingshotted a 100 feet in the air. It came back down and died. The thing that pisses me off the most is I didn't get the experience

Something like that happened to me, except I was the one that was launched. I think it was either a fight with the rams or a death claw, but when they hit me I was teleported high in the air, then fell to my death.
It's really full to shoot tumble weeds with shotguns (the more pellets the better). It flies in the skies like a giant in skyrim trying to club you. I bet if you were to shoot the tumble weed at someone, you could hurt them. Never though of using through weeds as weapons until now.

I had something g like that one time

Except he just stayed in the sink and constantly respawned. Hung out with the sink and seeder

I wouldn't call it a glitch but just something that happens far too often but..... The vendors at the grub and gulp are CONSTANTLY getting killed by legion hitsquads

4312740 then there is the infamous crazy flailing character models. Shot a deathclaw with a combat shotgun in fallout 3, took off like a rocket, and it proceeded to lose more control of its limbs than steven hawking

4312766

this one raider's corpse kind of glitches when he exploded (bloody mess perk + terrible shotgun)with his Limbs probably nearly reaching the end of the grid. That wasn't the only thing that happened. Each tiny bit would lead back to the main corpse with rays the same texture of whatever it used to look like.

4312794 remember that mission the king gives about busting that guy in free side who is running that phony escort business. Well when it gets to the part where he pretends to shoot those guys one of the guys' head comes off. I walked over to the head and interacted with it and it said "merely pretending"

4312806

Ha! Now that's funny.

4312820 we have found the greatest actor and all it took was the nuclear apocalypse. He is great for Halloween parties

4311301 Invisible deathclaw at blackmountain. I found a shotgun on its corpse.

4312827

Wut? You talking bout a mod or the lore?

4312851 neither it was a joke

4312278 lol wut.

That sounds both incredibly implausible and incredibly funny.

4312538 4312740 It could've been worse...

4312761 Heh, this Ranger lady at least helps in fights... sometimes. You can tell she wasn't scripted to be in BM, since she'll randomly run off in some odd direction to fight a enemy 20ft in front of us and stuff. She's very confused.

I wouldn't call it a glitch but just something that happens far too often but..... The vendors at the grub and gulp are CONSTANTLY getting killed by legion hitsquads

This. Seriously, they spawn them right around the corner from the place all the time. I had to constantly reload a save and shoot the Legion guys before they killed the vendors.

Remember kiddies, running a restaurant in the middle of the open Wasteland is a bad idea.

4312806 That's some good acting.

4312831 Deathclaws that can use guns and stealthboys. The Wasteland is doomed.

4313117

The last time it happened was totally unexpected

I just see the dude vendor run off in some random direction with a knife and suddenly his head exploded:rainbowl:

4313117

That maus video

4313117
I swear it happened.

4313133 Wut?

4313135 It was aliens.

4313136 It can fly, it is secret Nazi flying tank project.

4313969 Man, you should've taken screencaps. Would've paid to see that.

4314226
I'm a console peasant.

4314259 You could still get recorders and stuff for consoles. Or even be cheap and just take a camera and take a picture of the TV.

4314259

I am not joking, that happened to me, too. One second I'm just casually walking out to the Panel Yard (as I call it) and the next there's all these fucking evil demonic NPCs trying to kill me. It happened while playing NV on my Xbox 360. I was terrified for a split second and immediately reloaded a save.

I also get a LOT of the rubber-banding corpses (where the fucking bodies' grids and meshes and doohickies all go nuts and look like a flying noodle monster) in NV and Fallout 3, sometimes. It sucks because I'm not sure if it's a sign that the Elder Gods are coming because of these "sacrifices" to them or if I suddenly have the power to warp physics.

I just gotta love Bethesda's inherent slight bugginess in their games. It's always SOOOO charming!

4312806

4319300 that's pretty much what happened

4311768 What a trooper!
