So I found this epic glitch in Hidden Valley...

So here I am, doing my last playthrough (House) and I was given a task.
Spoiler
to destroy the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel
Went at it, ready, willing, and able, using a Grenade Machine gune to blow everything into oblivion. I finish the task, loot the place, double check to be sure, then nab and use the

self destruct code for the BoS bunker
. So I'm running back to the entrance, when all of a sudden, this fancy little glitch catches my eye, figured a picture of it would say it better than I ever could, but it appears that someones head that I blew up, reformed into what we call an exploded skull (basically a skull with all the parts, yet in peices in a diorama) I mean it's not a bad bug, personally I find it cool and hilarious, but I figured I'd show the GStaff and ask if anyone else has noticed this.

That's funny. Any idea on how you managed to do it?

I honostly have no idea. I'm thinking my use of over 200 25mm grenades with my GM might have something do do with it, and the fact there were litterally parts everywhere.

Yes. http://crimsonkeep.com/wallpapers/data/media/33/fnv-airskull.jpg :)
I've seen hands and heads in the air still on fire, skulls in the air, teeth 300 yards from the rest of the corpse, skeletons in the sky, etc. I'm not sure what triggers the skull in the air glitch tho. Another friend was in a room and left, came back to find 3 heads in the air. I don't remember the details about that one, but it was weird. heh

Ah, glad to see it's happening elsewhere. Thanks. :)

I mean, it's not a bad bug, just kinda one of those "How did this happen?" kinda bugs that'll bug you (pun intended) untill you figure out what causes it.

EDIT - Though thats what happened to me, left the area, came back, and there it was. Maybe that has something to do with it.

My favorite one so far, outside of the whole skull, was when a headless corpse had a bizarre, elongated neck. Only happened once. Love that Gamebryo engine.

And yeah, maybe something happens when the game redraws the cell sometimes when you leave/come back. Repositions things or something.

Lmao, someone decapitated stretch armstrong?

Maybe, I mean, it's certainly the most sensible explaination.
