So...I'm about level 20, and at the butt end of the Repconn mission. And I start getting this strange glitch occurrence. Just minding my own business, and poof, the screen will flash white, like an explosion went off and I fall down dead. Like the game just decided it was 110% done with my s---.

I did some digging and supposedly there's a glitch with Dead Money installed that will cause this. So I unchecked Dead Money from the Nexus Manager and made sure it wasn't checked in the data files...and it still happens.

I'm having a similar issue in Skyrim, where my character just drops dead as soon as the file is loaded, but with this...It's like I'm being hunted. Sometimes I can get away from it, but eventually it catches up with me, and boom, bomb flash, drop dead.

What gives?

Edit: I also tried toggling God Mode...The screen turned white...and, I can still see my health meter and compass...then it goes to a load screen...and the...Credits start rolling?

Looks like Ulysses was finally tired of waiting for you and just decided to launch the bombs.
