I get the blank screen with the terminals only. (Just an FYI for devs)

EDIT: Ok almost as soon as I typed it I found a work around by accident. You have to hold down your action/activate button the entire time while using a terminal to see the data on it. My controls are custom set to that as the B button.

Perks are awarded every other level.

I agree with you. I'm a huge original fallout fan girl. And to see and hear about characters from the first two is great.

For everyone that is reporting a bug. I ask that you be as accurate as possible so they can be found, verified, and fixed quite fast.
Being as detailed as possible is the best way of going about it. As I have done in my first post on this thread.

sometimes after playing caracan, i go to play again and there is no background (still looking at characters face) and the game is not playable due to fact you cant see the cards. it seems to be physically plavable still tho.

Yes, I had the same problem with my modded weathered 10mm pistol as well. But I was able to sell mine. But than I had all three mods on it.

there is a new one.this glitch requires a non existant key to any door going outside hoover dam once "you'll know it when it happens" is started

I have been to that town as well. But the death claw there seams to be a loading issue. Once you reload your closest save and go back, the death claw will not be there. I have run into a lot of loading issues like this. But if you save often and use multiple save points like I do, than this should be a problem.


Well rad scorpions didn't have faces in the first two fallouts. They had options to aim at their eyes (in fact all enemy's had that option) but sadly they didn't add that option in this game.
As for the taking so many bullets to take down. That's cause they have high DT (damage threshold or armor), so armor-piercing rounds should help a lot there.
Tip: if you aim at them in vats and than exit vats and see a full red shield to the left of where their health bar was, than their DT is to high for the weapon ammo combo your using, try another combo.

Well it's because Boone is not in the Dino during the day. You have to wait till night for Boone to be able to shoot who ever you bring out there.

McLearan Airport - torturing the legion soldier while having companions causes them to kill him and player becomes locked inside the room.


No Probem For Me With Torturing Part...The Only Problem's Im Having Is When I Kill A Caravaner or Shop Owner I Cant Get Their Caps or Their Invertory....Haha.....Oh and The Lock Up Every Now and Then....

I found yet another quest I can't complete.

After the quest I Put a Spell on You, Colonel Hsu told me to inspect Vault 3 to look for a Ranger (don't remember his name) and kill Motor Runner as an unmarked quest. Now I can negotiate with Motor Runner for his helmet and say he's dead, or just kill him. If I kill him, I automatically fail Aba Daba Honeymoon, but if I take his helmet and leave him alive, I can't even complete Aba Daba Honeymoon because it's needed for that quest as well.

I found a new glitch. Similar to the Motor head helm glitch.

It's with the Van Graff's armor that I stole from the crate out side of the Silver Rush. I picked the lock and took all.
I didn't notice anything out of the norm for quite awhile because I was using the armor. But when I found better armor I couldn't drop or sell the van graff armor.
So I tried doing the quest that the armor is related to, but the quest just gives me a new set of armor, and when the quest is over, I'm only rid of one set and not both.
This svcks cause I'm playing the hard-core mod and every pound counts. And that armor weighs 25lbs.

Here are some that I am running into:

I talk to traveling merchants and when I complete the purchase from them the game locks up and I have to restart 360.
Scorpions and other mobs are around either buried half way, glide on their tails with pinchers aimed at the sky.
The robot Victor keeps popping up as a companion in weird locations but dialogue is as if he is still in Novac and then I get to Novac and he is gone. I have not progressed past Novac at this point.
I buy cards to be used in my deck but they do not show up but are in my list (not sure if this is a bug, is there a limit to the amount of cards you can own? and if so can we trade out)
I saw this one mentioned but it happens with other gear other than the weathered 10mm.. I have gear that causes the Red Traingle with White "!" There are mobs that have no weapon in hand but shoot me.
Ed E in Love quest stops dead at Scrap Yard outside of Novac and has no continuation even if you follow the "spoilers" as to how the quest is to go. I did it to see if it was something I am doing but it's not.
The sniper companion you get from the Dinosaur in Novac doesn't abide by the hold fire until I engage command neither doesn Ed E. They attack everything in range of them even when I am doing other things. I have tried back and forth and even tried using the aggressive command they don't change.
Also, is there alot of players getting STUCK in objects ALL THE TIME? I am constantly wandering around and I jump from a rock to another rock and then I am stuck in the rock, I walk through a doorway and then I am stuck in a pile of rubble covering my foot?!?, if you are walking along a mountain this happens ALOT, you get stuck and then if you try to fast travel you can't because your falling or moving even though your stuck standing still.
Lastly when in VATS I am finding the mobs run up and lock themselves on top of my guy preventing attacks from hitting them in which a round of APs is wasted and then when you leave vats they stay ATTACHED to you killing you and your unable to hit them. This one bothered me the most, although not being able to use any of the travelling merchants is a downer as I lockup everytime I buy anything from them.

Let me know if repeating others as I didn't see them when I looked, Also would love to see the patch notes but for some reason the link in the listing given for next patch is a deadlink for me.

Yesterday my right trigger locked up for some reason when I loaded an earlier save it was fine... today my right anolog stick is not working it only works in VATS lol or earlier game save... what is with the controller bugs they don't make sense just like Chewbacca living on the planet Endor...

Quest Bug "Bye Bye Love"

When doing the quest "Bye Bye Love" Joana (and sometimes Carlitos) vanish from the game.

Repro steps:

1. Take the quest "Bye Bye Love"
2. Get to varying stages of the quest before the escort Joana part.
3. Do the quest "How Little We Know"
4. Kill Big Sal and Nero.
5. Observe Joana missing from Gomorrah Courtyard. The quest marker is there but the NPC does not exist.

Other information:

Sometimes after killing Big Sal and Nero you will instead fail the quest "Bye Bye Love" it seems to be determined by what stage you are at in the quest.
Several users have also reported that Carlitos goes missing from Vault 21 as well.

It happens in any town. Also ED-E can't carry faction armor.

Sad to say, but you may as well return it now, because the chances of that happening are slim to none.



A work-around (not that you should have to, but thems the breaks) is to go to the door just before you meet up with the ghoul. I believe Davidson has a small fetch quest for you (I killed Davidson), maybe this will work. That is, if you want the "Come Fly With Me" achievement/trophy.



Maybe try to repair another, similar armor type with the one you can't drop. If that works then maybe it'll allow you to drop it.



This makes sense, if you finish "Bye Bye Love" first like I did then the story all works together. However, it's still a bug in that it won't allow you to finish "Bye Bye Love" and it allows you to pick up "How Little We Know" while "Bye Bye Love" is still active.


My new bug, and it's probably been mentioned already, is with the BoS quest line. I'm told to give them some time and I waited a few days, no dice. So I waited 2 weeks, still no dice. Don't really remember how I did the quest specifically, but I think it may have bugged because I neglected to tell Hardin about one of the missions. From there the dialog with him got... strange. Like it wasn't exactly right. /shrug

ED-E is not giving me all info. i went to talk to Ignacio Rivas at HELIOS One spake about Archimedes and nothing i read the ED-E is ment to give you more info at that point.

also after Talking to Dusty McBride about the Brahmin the nightkin just stands there all day and night doing nothing you cant talk to him cant shoot him cant do any thing

Hi, just signed up as I came across a pretty bad bug last night and it's stopping me from continuing, not sure if it's already been covered on here but basically if I jump, exit pip-boy, finish a conversation with someone the gun I'm carrying automatically lets off a round and I imagine this can't do you any favours when wandering into new territory, I tried changing to a melee weapon but he just constantly swung it like some maniac.

has anyone else encountered this ?

My guess would be it has something to do with Xbox compatability with the game, odds are they made it for PC first then tried to fit it into the PS3/Xbox Skin.

Sounds like another issue with the controls, hopefully this will all be patched at the same time. This ones new to me though.

Yea... heres a big list of bugs connected to just ED-E

■Completing the quest ED-E My Love by giving him to the Followers may result in him teleporting to a location near red rock canyon(shown by quest marker) and then exploding on approach, removing him from the game as a companion.needs verification

■It would seem if you bring ED-E into the White Glove Society's kitchen, he will stop moving and just float in place. You can still interact with him, but he will not follow you. This can be avoided by telling him to wait outside the kitchen area and then going back to get him after you're done in there.

■When told to stay, he can appear to you soon after even though you clearly told it to wait there.

■After rescuing Primm's deputy all Primm citizens may became hostile to ED-E.

■After chatting to the commanding officer at Ranger Station Charlie, the officer may become hostile to ED-E

■The Legion members inside Cottonwood HQ may become hostile to ED-E at random.

■NCR troops at Camp McCarran may become hostile to ED-E at random.

■Completing the quest "ED-E My Love" by giving him to the Brotherhood may result in ED-E no longer moving or shooting anybody. It will still fast travel with you and zone with you, but will stay where you spawn. Changing him from follow to stay, and then back to follow fixes this problem, but he still won't attack enemies. Also reported to happen if you side with the Followers of the Apocalypse at the end.

■Giving ED-E a suit of Brotherhood T-51b power armor to hold onto will result in the armor disappearing from ED-E's inventory with no way to retrieve it or he will drop it.

■When completing the quest ED-E My Love, you're given a chance to upgrade the robot either by giving him to the Brotherhood of Steel, or the Followers. To achieve this upgrade, the entity is swapped out with an entirely different base ID, without making the inventory persistent. The effect of which is destroying any items in ED-E's inventory.

■Sometimes ED-E may be randomly attacked if the player interacts with people.

■To fix this issue on the PC, you can spawn the standard ED-E at your location using the console. Take your belongings from it, then destroy the temporarily spawned entity.

■When trying to pass under the floor of BoS underground base in hidden valley, ED-E may get stuck in the low floor when trying to follow you.

■While entering vault 34 ED-E may get stuck and leave your party and return to primm. When you return to primm, ED-E will begin to attack you with no chance of stopping the attacks. (360)

■Having ED-E wait anywhere until he returns to Primm may result in him becoming hostile to everyone, including your character. You may be able to retrieve your gear from him by pickpocketing.

■ED-E will disappear if you enter the Lucky 38 Casino. But cannot recruit Rex as It appears ED-E is still following you.

■ED-E will completely disappear and will not be at Primm or the Lucky 38. (360)

■Several staircases (with roofs/walkway covers) can cause ED-E to become immobile and/or phase through the bottom of the level (Confirmed PS3)


Didn't see the need to add them all to my list unless ppl are saying they're experiencing it now because I have no clue how out of date some of those are. Yours is already on the list "generalized" as Companions iniating combat with non hostile targets because other companions are doing it as well.

I doubt this is 360 exclusive, but I thought I should mention that there is a True Police Stories outside the Poseidon Gas Station inside of a police car that is impossible to get. You can not highlight it first, only the duct tape and weapon repair kit around it, and if you pick up either of those, the magazine falls through the floor of the car and is impossible to get after that.

When playing Caravan raising my bet doesn't seem to increase their bet. If I put in all my caps and win.. I'll only win what they originally bet.. If I lose, I lose all my caps.
The tumbleweeds in my game recently stopped tumbling. they just sit there like rocks.. I can no longer kick the tumbleweeds around. 65 hours of play.. not sure if that has anything to do with it.
A lot of the new armor doesn't seem to have a female mesh.. my character looks like she has a man's body in most of it. Kind of annoying to stick on some new outfit and all of a sudden have great big shoulders and no curves.

I am having a problem with Sonny dropping dead as soon as we are ready to go to fight the powder gangers in 'Ghost Town Shootout'. I talk to the guy who is hunted and say I am ready. Then I exit the dialog and Sonnys body drops from the sky by the exit. A new quest is added 'join up with Sonny'.

I had to go back to my only early save and re do the quest only to have the same thing happen again and again.

I didn't see this in the OP so I'm going to add my problem

I've played for 29 hours or so and have only had 1 minor freeze that was solved by a simple restart (I also have the game installed), but I've just run into a big glitch I guess this would fall under the Locations spot in the OP.

When I encounter a certain faction at Hidden Valley (name with-held for spoiler purposes) the game freezes everytime I hit the comply dialogue option. I've cleared my HD cache and everything but the game keeps freezing at that exact moment.....which is really frustrating because I was really looking forward to experiencing this part of the game, but now I can't until it's patched*


*Since I'm level 20 I have the explorer perk, so I notice this particular faction has another area on the map, and I haven't tried going there first to initiate my first meeting. My thoughts are if I go there first and they get to know me, when I go back to Hidden Valley it might not freeze since they will know me already and won't have the dialogue option that causes the game to freeze. I guess I'll try that later and see if this potential work-around works.
