I have came across a strange issue today, with the ending of the main game and the broken steel DLC.

first time round today that I played the ending I had pretty much all the mods active bar a few that weren't needed (versions that didn't use dlc etc)

and when I got to the point to start the purifier up it went through the ending video's then when they were done it went straight to the main menu.. not to the mission afterwards...

so to verifie everything was installed right (even though I had some hellfire armour in my player hone) I uninstalled all the mods that used broken steel and broken steel it self and restarted from a save outside the giftshop.

after making a save without any of the broken steel stuff in place, I reloaded with just broken steel, the lvl 30 cap info popped up but still the game just went to the main menu, fawkes also refused to enter the code.

so I reloaded from an even earlier save before I got to the BOS base and had all broken steel related items unloaded saved and reloaded with just broken steel and played though again.. and still teh same thing happned.

I have also noticed that some of the NPC's and my 3rd person char will disappear from time to time as well as walls on interiors going solid colours.

the last ESP file is my merged patch for fallout 3, if needed I can post FO3Edit's info from when I make the merged patch.

ps. the load order below might not be the actual load order I have as it is the one recommended by FMM.
