Please Stand By

I have been playing Fallout: New Vegas for some time now. It is the has the same great addicting game play that Fallout 3 had however…

I saw on FaceBook and in a few reviews that it had technical issues, glitches, freezing and all the other random issues we have come to expect from Bethesda game. I figured I just got lucky as I have had very few problems. Sure there were a few quests I could not finish because of some glitch but nothing completely game breaking. Then I decided to start gambling, I got kicked out of multiple casinos for winning too much! Hahaha, my luck stat is at 8, which pretty much means I win the jack pot within 10-20 turns of the slot machines. (Finally got enough money to get all the implants!)  I was running out of casinos when I decided to hit up the Ultra-Luxe and the freaky White Glove Society.

I walked into the casino and instantly looked for the slot machines…which I could not find. So instead I wandered the hotel. I came across a few quests and figured I should give them a go while I was there. I don’t want to spoil anything but one of these quests really caught my attention. I was running from hotel, to casino, to restaurant, and back, all over the place to get more information for this quest. I was getting close to the end of the quest and I needed to decide if I was going to side with the “good” side or the “bad” side. The final confrontation was approaching!!!

…then my game froze.

It wasn’t that big of a deal. Luckily the game had auto-saved not to far before that. I restarted the game and accidentally messed up by attacking someone I was trying to save, without me noticing the game auto-saved.

…then my game froze.

I restarted my game to find myself being attacked by the person I was trying to save. Insta-death or at least it would have been instead…

…my game froze.

I had to go back to my save from about an hour ago and try the quest over. So I did that, back to all the running around and gathering information. I was kinda happy I restarted the quest because I was talking to more people and getting even more information. Finally I got to the final confrontation again!

…then my game froze.

I tried maybe switching my armor. Thinking somehow that might help.

…my game froze.

I tried changing my weapon.

…my game froze.

I tried going into 3rd person.

…my game froze.

I tried walking very slowly, not bringing up any menus and taking my time.

…my game froze.

I tried to fast travel away, unfortunately I was in a building so I had to make my way out of it first.

…my game froze.

I tried blowing on my game disc and restarting.

…my game froze.

Finally I came to a solution. I turned off my PS3, turned on my 360 and played some Fable!

I must say I am disappointed and I want a fix NOW. Why must Bethesda release broken games!? I am hooked on Fallout NV yet I cannot play it. I tried to get past that quest again this morning and all I got was a frozen game so I am stuck. Unless anyone out there has any ideas on how to get out of the Ultra-Luxe? I will come back and finish the quest when they release a patch or something…
