The game consistently freezes when I try to talk to Chet in Goodspring, Fantastic at Helios One, and a few others. The sound for the initial sentence plays, but then the sound goes away for the next and the game locks up. I can talk to plenty of other NPCs with no problem. It's only frozen once or twice walking around.

I've reinstalled the game, started a new game, everything! As soon as I walk out of the doctors office in a fresh new game and go see Chet, it freezes.

Am I the only one experiencing this? I haven't seen anyone else report anything like this.
