Is this just occurring for me or does anyone else experience more crashes/bug when playing a female character. My save file for my female toon has become unreadable multiple times now causing multiple restarts. Constant freezing/slowdown even more than what I was experiencing with male toon (Freeze every 15-20 minutes, slowdown nearly every 10 feet <---Female :: Male---> Freeze every 45 minutes to hour, slowdown every 40-50 feet). 3rd Person view not "centered" instead of facing forward she faces sort of to the right forcing un-equipping of weapon, leaving pipboy, then going back and re-equipping weapon to "recenter". In first person view using fine aiming (with true iron sights on) with pistols, zooms crosshairs, but doesn't show iron sights. Also in first person view, arms and weapon are towards top of screen so when you do fine aiming your arms and weapon completely block your view of where you're aiming. This one I haven't confirmed on my male character yet for being a problem with just female or if it's supposed to be the way it is, since I can't access my PS3 right now, but true iron sights for Laser Pistol, Laser Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle don't exist? (Just zooms crosshairs as if true iron sights is deselected)?

I think it's just the game and specifically the game engine behind NV.. everything you've described with the exception of an unreadable save game has happened to my "male" character numerous numerous times.

I have run into all of these problems with my male toon as well, it's just that they seem more prominent or constant with the female toon. And they arose much sooner in play than they did with my male.

well, mine has a crooked pimp boy, but thats all i know of
