Character Stuck

Post » Thu Jul 07, 2011 6:21 pm

Hi guys, been playing Fallout New Vegas for not very long now (started about 1 day after it was on the steam sale), anyway, I have came across a very annoying bug which I can't seem to fix. It started when I was in Primm, I then fast traveled over to the NCR camp (the one in dire need of supplies), however, when i got there my head was stuck in my ED-E and my HUD was not displayed. My character could not move except rotate and crouch, that's it. I have tried fast traveling somewhere else but it just stays the same, I have tried loading last save but when I fast traveled from Primm it must have saved when I got to the camp because that's where I end up (using both auto save load and manual save load). I have exited the game several times, nothing. So is this a common bug which can be fixed? If anyone can help it'll be much appreciated, I really want to carry this game on, but can't do a think.

Screenshot below to show you the problem....

What does that even mean? This seems a pointless post you've made.

What it means is that the scale of Ed-e to your character's body seems a little off to me. I appears to me that Ed-e is a little too large compared to, well, what your head would be, if we could see it. I'm no expert, but it appears to me that Ed-e looks more like he is passing between the 3rd person camera and your head, rather than on your head. Now, not that this type of thing doesn't happen. I got glitched inside of damn lily's body coming out of the stupid beach homes east of the cove. So I kinda know what it looks like, especially in 1st person. Maybe you could upload a shot in 1st person? Hmm?

Ahh I see your point. Here's a first person one, as you can see it's the inside of ED-E...

EDIT: Another note, if I crouch, then the ED-E will stay where it is, but I will then get stuck when I get up from crouch.

OK, then. I take back my earlier skepticism. I have had this happen, and the only way I got it to work was reloading an earlier save. I'm even on PC and using console commands didn't work. When I tried to TCL out of her, I just flew straight up, but never got unstuck. Save, save, save, and then save some more. It's a gamebryo game.

Thanks for the help, I'll try reloading etc. But like I said in my op, when I tried loading from my previous save it just ended up like this, (not in helion though, in the NCR camp). But I guess there's no harm trying.

Thanks.

How can you shoot something that's on your head? They add some new weapon animations with the new patch? :wink_smile:
Actually, I didn't think about it but I could have tried throwing grenades at my feet. I didn't want to kill or disable her (console wise) so i didn't mess with the situation for long. I had a recent save to go back to.

If you try everything restart, your not to far into the game I suspect? Try shooting him, if you cant throw explosives on the ground, if you cant then go to your last save, if you cant restart.

Maybe. It's worth a try. Use a pistol, though.

Ok so I was in the NCR camp, they were slightly pissed at me anyway so I caused some trouble, tried killing myself with dynamite, hit a trooper, my ED-E got involved etc. My ED-E also moved way away from me, however I was still stuck (interesting). The troopers couldn't kill me because ED-E is too boss and the dynamite didn't kill me for some reasons. So pssh, hell knows...

How about just dismissing/firing ED-E? Or does it prevent you from talking to him?

Yes I can't interact with it, plus after my last post (where ED-E goes away from me completely) I'm starting to think it's not the problem :/
