Weirdest glitch encountered

Post » Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:47 am

Ok starting off: The weirdest glitch i've encountered so far was when i took Cass out for a combat try out at Mohave highway patrol to hunt some jackals/ghouls and after the third ghoul gets torn to shreds by cass with her hunting shotgun i notice the text "Feral ghoul is unconscious" so I think "whaa??" and start checking the corpses, and yep, after a few moments one of the feral ghouls decides to play the zombie part a bit too well. somehow the game ended up marking that one ghoul as essential, I've visited the area plenty of times to I don't know how often this occurs, my guess it;s a post nov-9 patch glitch, anyone else having weird glitches here?

Certain Npc's while sitting in a chair, will hover-walk while not actually moving anywhere.

In other words... they were hovering above a chair while having a walking animation. It brought "I believe i can fly" to a whole new level.

Moe the Centaur looks distorted after I killed the name from black mountain and ran downhill, he was not only part of the mountain but he looked skewed and elongated. Also... when I met the black guy at 4pm I encountered an error that threw me out into the desktop. My save would put be closer to 4pm than when I saved it until I believe I restarted with the same save and it wasn't only past 4pm but the guy was already dead since I killed him but I never even saved. I was forced to play without ever talking to him. Luckily I was able to save Ted either way. Strange huh, that was an eerie encounter to begin with... he sounded suspicious!

One of the funnier glitches I experianced while playing new vegas happened while I was meandering throughout the vast wasteland of new vegas when I heard the pitter patter of a deathclaw.

In the distance my last chance of survival appeared on the horizon, an abandoned subway tunnel. After franticly scrambling towards the subway tunnel entrance I made it to the door only to find it locked. :o

Using my leet lock picking skills I masterfully cracked the lock and opend the door to my salvation. Unfortunatly 12 foot tall dinosaurs know how to open doors and close them. After getting through the loading screen I got a pleasant suprise of a deathclaw face in my face. Dropping several F bombs at the stalker of a deathclaw about to take my life I managed to make it into the main tunnel of the subway.

Speeding down the subway triggering landmines and upsetting feral ghouls with deathclaw in fast pursuit. I found a door leading to a subsection of the subway perhaps another chance of escape? No the door to freedom is a lie! I ended up falling through the floor, falling for one minute, and finaly teleporting to a dead end of the tunnel with an impatient and upset deathclaw awaiting me.

Checking out my guy in third person mode and all of a sudden my fingers twitched, then elongated into deathclaw hands. They were still my skin color just thin and hanging down past my shins. It flickered on and off while I went from first person to third, then resolved itself.

Once I was in Freeside and I killed a rat that some kids were chasing and when one of them stopped to eat it he was in this perpetual power slide across the road while eating at nothing it was pretty funny. Another time was when I was leaving Helios One I walked outside and I hear the sounds of me kicking barrels around but there were none, then the salvage yard lady and her dogs spawned in front of me then attacked, those were the only two non-nitpicky glitches ive seen so far.

I told Raul the Ghoul to get lost and he moped away... But his voice stayed, following me making comments until I couldn't stand it anymore and reloaded an earlier save. It was funny.. at first.

If you have hardcoe mode on and blow your companions head off, then swith HC mode off before it says they died, then your companion will get back up headless. Or use bloody mess and get meat chunks for a companion.

You know the old lady with all the dogs who lives in a gas station just outside of Helios 1?

I walked out of the main Helios 1 building into the array yard, and all of a sudden here are the old lady's dogs and 2 molerats all turned hostile attacking me!

i reloaded and it fixed it, but pretty funny

Oddest glitch so far also involved Big Horners. I was walking when I saw one at the top of a nearby hill. Figuring I was gonna mess around a bit with them I walked up to the big animal with only my fists when suddenly the 1 bighorner charged and split up to almost 10-13 of them. I literally got stampeded over by a herd. Was one of the funniest things I've seen in fallout in a long time.

I was out killin' things with Boone, when we passed by the lake near Camp Golf. I see a red line on my radar and turn to where it was. I see a shadowy figure in the water and out jumps a Lakelurk, so I go into VATS and shoot its head off. But, as I go out of VATS, I notice the carcass is still, in a jumping posistion in mid-air, headless, with floating chunks of head surrounding it

I've had a similar one, expect the dogs and mole rats were all piled right outside the door and I floated above them.

I liked sandmanning The Forecaster, which caused me to load into a rock at the base of Black Mountain, right next to the Centaurs. One even decided it'd be fun to glitch in there with me!

Yesterday I hit a coyote with a shovel in VATS, and the killing blow launched him into the air spinning, what seemed like about 100 yards high, and landing 100 yards away. I was like, wow, I don't know my own strength!

I shot an NCR trooper in the head with Lucky from about 10 feet away. His head flew off straight up, about 20 feet. His body raced up after the head, overtook it, and topped out at about 35 feet.

I also had the glitch outside Helios 1 with the salvage yard lady - except it was as if they all dropped on my head, and they weren't hostile, she just started talking to me.

Before I had a companion I was at the Legion Camp near Nipton, and had killed everyone, except for a redline north out of the camp. I went up the hill to find 3 legionaires melted together! I couldn't hit them with guns, but could hit them with melee. But, it was taking forever, so I left them.

After I got Boone we were in a vault that had a flooded floor. I think I had the rebreather, and came out the other side. Boone caught up with me later, and was swimming several feet above the floor with his head in the ceiling!
