Devastating bug - bullets don't work - game is unplayable

Level 26
Bullets don't work in either direction, shooting or being shot.
I stood six inches in front of a turret blasting away while the turret was shooting me, no damage to either.
Melee works, the dog can inflict damage, ghouls can inflict damage on me and I can gun bash but bullets no good, any weapon, any scope, hip fire or ADS.....nada. VATS doesn't work either.
No fix is apparent......I went back to earlier save, shut down and restarted a few times, no good. It's not a glitchy quest either, problem is chronic.

It appears I'm dead in the water and apparently screwed out of $90 because the game is unplayable.

Unreal. How do you put out a product with something this seriously wrong?

UPDATE:

Was playing around to see of I could glitch it back into working, no luck.

Another thing is the problem isn't just bullet related but appears to apply to any projectile. Stood face to face with a bloatfly and it was unloading it's spew on me but I took no damage. I unloaded a hundred or so shotgun shells on it to no avail.

The other peculiar thing is in vats, when you go into vats in slo-mo the camera (muzzle of the weapon) points down to the ground and then up to the target, when you shoot the sound and animation play out a if the bullet struck the target but the target's health bar just doesn't go down.
