Well.. it is a bethesda game..

Even with the patches, New Vegas is still buggy as hell. Probably will be forever.

Well.. it is a bethesda game..

I did okay most of the game, its almost like every bug in the game waited in hiding until I got to the cannibal hotel mission, then they all came out at once.

I've seen NPC's sink into the desert and rotating heads, but nothing like this.

My first complete playthrough was free of bugs.

The other zillion playthroughs, not so much.

The character I created after the latest patch is 10 hours in, nothing so far. I hope it'll stay that way.

PS3 version.

Just shoot them with lasers.

I played through virtually bug-free. The only thing I ever saw was the bug that sometimes makes radscorpions walk perpendicular to the ground.

I think the patches messed up my old save, because I had zero issues with the game on release day. Then I put it away for a couple of months, and when I try to play it now (on my old save) it's bug heaven the few times it actually wants to load my save. Will probably just start over when the final DLC is out, since I DO want to s-rank that game one day.

5 patches in and I'm seeing nothing like those issues. I did completely erase my first playthroughs saves though, and I clear the cache often as well. Mostly it's creatures stuck in the ground or FR drops when too much is on screen. Still too fun to play, despite the bugs. OWB was great, and really looking forward to The Lonesome Road DLC.

Squash them.

That sounds goddamn terrifying.

No! You can't be scared; it's what the radscorpions want!!

I don't recall encountering any bug as bothering as Save Corruption. This only encourages to build my "press F5 every gawddamn second" habit.

Well Obsidian doesn't have a QA team so there the problem.

I still get the damn "dogs with eyes floating beside their heads" bug from time to time. How have they not fixed that yet? It's extremely noticeable in Old World Blues. I find myself checking every dog to see if their eyes are in their sockets. 

I keep running into bugs in New Vegas

Who doesn't.

Yeah. Yeah, it's buggier than a French whore.

Played a speed run hardcore mode with no issues.  Currently playing a normal game and have not encounter any issues except minor path finding issues from npcs.  Xbox 360.

Really new vegas having bugs would have never guessed.

So you decided to use your first post as a giantbomb member showing us bugs in a buggy game?  There are official forums for the game ya know :O

Never not be quicksaving

That's Gamebryo for ya. Although, I have to say, taking all the bugs out of the picture NV is a miles better game than Fallout 3 in just about every aspect.

Wait, so an Obsidian game running on a Bethesda engine occasionally glitches up? That's out of the question! Both of those developers have sterling track records in regards to game stability!

If you play either of the console versions, I officially have no sympathy for you.

Wow really? That's weird. Must be your machine or something.

yeah they're everywhere, like giant ants and roaches, what have you been playing?

@scriptkittie: I stand by it.

Gross. Also Its a Fallout thing at least for now who knows maybe when they release the next game they'll use the same engine as the one for Skyrim.
