So, last week, I loaded a save and all of the cool weapons I had given Veronica to use just magically disappeared. I thought it had to do with entering/exiting casinos. Anyway, as disappointed as I was, I decided to let it roll off as yet another serious bug and re-equipped her with other weapons.
Then, last night, I loaded a saved game and noticed that one of my favourite weapons, Annabelle, disappeared from my inventory. This was my wildcard weapon that I had end-game plans for, so naturally, I'm extremely pissed off. The rampant bugs in New Vegas (constant game freezes/crashes, corrupted save files, magically disappearing inventory items, clipped enemies that can't be seen, critically broken quests, etc.) are the most irritating bugs that I have ever had to deal with in any game to date in all my years of gaming (since Pong in the early 80s) and at this point I'm just pushing to finish it as I've come this far. The Atari E.T. was better put together.
This is embarrassing, guys. Simply embarrassing. What a train wreck. This will be my last post on this (New Vegas) forum because once I'm finished with this game, I'll never play it again. It's too bad because there are a lot of *good* things about this game that I really, really like. But the bugs just ruin it.
