Hey guys, I thought I would make this thread because of the numerous(unforunately) game breaking glitches in New Vegas and so that we can all hopefully avoid them/permanently breaking our character. We all know how much of a pain it is to spend a hundred or so hours on a character and then have a game breaking glitch happen to us, most of the time if you can't revert to a save you are screwed even if they release a patch because even though the bug will be fixed in new games your game will still be corrupted.

Please only post game breaking glitches that include spoilers IF THEY ARE IN A HIDDEN SPOILER TAG.

I will update the OP with the game breaking glitches as you guys post them, I only have one I fully understand so far (but have read many more) so I'll just start with posting that.

- DO NOT enter any casino with a companion currently bound to you. When they take your guns, they also take your companions guns (Even if you tell them to wait outside!) and after you leave and try to give your companion their weapon back, it will be impossible. It will appear in your inventory and you can equip it but you will not be able to trade it/sell it. This will mean that companions like Boone can become completely and permanently useless after this happening.

- hardcoe mode broken. For some reason SLP no longer has a number counting and instead just has the arrow which points to where 0 would be. It never goes up or moves at all.

- Picking up certain item corrupts saves on XBOX360. Minor Item Spoiler.

First Terminal i tried to hack.. and the little tutorial thing showed up then i closed it but there wast a computer screen. :cryvaultboy: It was blurry but i couldnt see what i was doing.. Played on PS3

That seems like a glitch Killson but in this topic we are specifically talking about game breaking glitches, as in glitches that once you have experienced once permanently ruin/corrupt your save game/character in one way or another.

I read something about many crashing on the 360 after 10-12 hours. I got worried so I did some research and found that in the "Come Fly with Me" quest, ^ Minor item spoiler.

Good start guys, I know that there is way more game breaking glitches out there than just that though.

Keep 'em coming.

Just found another -

When I modded my Weathered 10mm pistol with a Silencer, every time I equip it the screen turns a light transparent grayish white... the gun also vanishes but can still be shot... nothing major but should be fixed =/
I am so happy I havent come across any major glitches or bugs in the time I have been playing... although I guess that means I would svck at being a video game tester huh?

Edit: also I'm sure someone has noticed but shouldn't NCR and CL dogs be friendly if your good with the faction? cause they ain't when they're alone
(Examples, the dogs at Helios, and the dogs at Nipton)

Occasionally, the save option is greyed and the game fails to autosave. Have to quit game and reload of the last save that worked. (PS3)

idk if its meant to happen but :banghead: :swear:

but if anyone know anything about what i mean tell me if its a glitch or what plz

lily got stuck in lucky 36 casino while going back to jacobstown now i cant finish the quest!

I had Boone get stuck inside there once and I left and fast traveled somewhere and he wasn't with me, I even had his perk and npc's where making comments like he was still with me. When I went back to Casino I had to tell him to follow so I'm thinking that's not a bug, but the fact I had his perks without him with me probably is.

I just had a graphic glitch where a distant point in the landscape was a huge blurry glitched out graphic line if that makes any sense.. basically it looked really messed up like the texture was very close up and stretched but it was just this unnatural line going across the landscape in the distance.. hard to explain and for that I'm sorry.

I love the game though. It makes up for all the glitches by being awesome.

Obsidian > Bethesda

It makes me so, so, so SO sad that Bethesda is making Fallout 4 and not Obsidian. Bethesda should let Obsidian make it.

I play on the PC, and this problem happened to me as well. It completely kills the ability to load any save from the basemant scene onwards. :brokencomputer:

If it's anything like Fallout 3 (very much so far) it will [censored] the bed after your savegame reaches 10mb and will crash every 5 minutes. That's pretty gamebreaking for me

Beth should contract out the script writing to Obsidian for sure, NV is so much more Fallout feeling than 3 was.

Well knock on wood I been reading about all these people with problems with the game since it came out but I've had none so far, just minor ones like clipping issues but now all of a sudden all monsters out in the desert seem to be stuck in the ground and I can't shoot them. To me thats a game breaking glitch. This is an awesome game by far and I knew before I bought the game that there was going to be bugs galore and I knew patches would come in time but theres just way too many bugs in this game, I don't think I've ever played a game with this much hype that has been released in it's current state. It seriously feel like an unfinished product, waaaaay more buggier than F03 was when it came out.

I've decided just to go back to playing F03 until more patches come out because the bugs are really killin' the game for me and I don't want to feel this way because I love the game.

Lucky 38 footlockers by the workbench are broken!!! :swear: I put something in, leave Lucky 38 and come back and it is GONE!!! bliviongate: Hey, Bethesda/ Fallout: New Vegas, I wanted that! :violin:
