I have only had one problem in Megaton where anything beyond ten yards from me fizzes out into a black or yellow void. This only happened once though. Don't worry too much, Bethesda should have some updates in no time.
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Only had two freezes the the whole first playthrough and none so far on the second one. Other than that no buggy anything for me.
it has screwed up on me some. freezed a couple times. enemies glitchin. like once 3 super mutants were teleported across the river right infront of me. theres also the screen tear thing that happened to me where its a bunch of triangle shaped pieces coming out from the middle of the screen. crappy way to describe it but w/e.
***minor spoilers!!!*** also i dont know if its a glitch or not. but i had the big super mutant in my party and the ghoul i think. and went in to necropolis which i have been in plenty of times b4 with them. entered carols place or w/e i think it was and one of the ghouls from the hallway comes in and starts shooting them. the ghouls in the room started fighting with them to, but luckily the ghoul where you get the shoot em in the head quest was asleep lol. and when i went to the rest of the city no one else had a prob.
still not sure why that happened. I've also hadsomething happen 1 time with the sound. i was in th super duper mart and the sound got really loud and it was just static. couldnt get rid of it and had to reload.
the bugs are annoying but still worth playin the game over.
Hmm...try installing the game onto your 360's harddrive, perhaps that will cut down on the freezing and slowing-down. I did this for Oblivion because I notice the game has to load a lot of stuff, and it seems to work better.

I'm only 4 hours into the game, but I haven't gotten any problems so far.monkeymoose5000
Bugs in a game seem to be for the most part, unique to each person that play the game overall, thefore different people may encounter bugs in their game that you don't encounter in your game and vise versia.
i ve had some experiences in the past of freezing aswell buti have to agree with Doomtime. Oblivion didnt have as many glitches because it didnt have a larger area to explore
I have no personal problems with mine I bought it new. The only thing is when I finish the Dr.Li escort mission I can't move I can look around, but not move its driving me nuts cus i can't go further in the game til i find a way around it.
I'm about 25hours in, and have had it freeze about 5-6times. And, only one where I had to restart the system.
Also, a few graphical hitches around as well. Nothing that bothers me, though.
I have it installed, and my console sits horizontal. I have it elevated, where there's enough room for the bottom vents. Nothing covering any of the other vents either. And, I've had my console since May, or so.
The only other game in about the 30 or so I've played (so far) on my 360 where I've had bad freezing, is GearsII. That was fixed with an install. It didn't seem to work here.
Those checkpoints were horrible before the install, BTW.
Oh, well. It isn't too bad. I mean, I save like a fiend. I almost don't do anything without saving lol. It's a bad habit.:|
The game has frozen on me a number of times, and it gets frustrating, but luckily I save a lot. Other than that, it has become one of my favorite games. It is soooo addicitive.

Same here. I've logged well over 100hrs. and only froze twice on me, a little framerate dip a time or two, but all in all pretty bug free.
Fallout 3 is a really complicated game engine, I would expect some bugs. Try clearing the Cache (google it). Save in multiple files. Oblivion was the same way--I had a whole town killing each other once in Imperial city it was a bloodbath! You can expect glitches. I have played it for about 3 days now and have not had once glitch (knock on wood). Since it is an open ended game I think a lot of the glitches come from player's actions--like getting people to attack each other or killing the wrong npc.
No bugs lags or anything of the sort for me yet but im only 4.5 hrs in so... Maybe installing it will work but maybe not, I dont even know how to install stuff just got my 360
Does anyone else think this gameis way to buggy for it's own good?
The game has frozen on my twice so far once outside Tenpenny Tower, the other while entering VATS
I also see animation bugs and stuff like that
Only the freezing pisses me off and a lot of other people have this problem too. My other games work flawlessly so it's not my 360.Toriko42
every games buggy this is roughly the same amount of buggyness as Oblivion just wait for patches because Bethseda a pretty famous bug solvers DAmn THEm you cannot expect an open world game that potentially have 100+ hours of gameplay a hell of a lot of options and consequences etc and not have crappy bugs that freeze the xbox . Just be glad you didn't get it for ps3 or if you hate bug PC as well (although 2009 PC version will be ultimate)

best glitch ever start one fight and you've started a riot and then the riot ends up being the worst thing you've done because the towns so empty eventhough most of the npc have no relation to your gaming experiance and i type all that long sentence without looking at the screen and using only 1 finger
I once had a problem where everything that moved sunk into the ground, but when it moved it would come to the top of the ground. It made shooting things impossible, walking annoying, and crossing bridges deadly. When it first happened I ignored it and fell through a bridge and died, second try I gave up and saved and restarted the system. That seemed to work fine.
But It's certainly not buggy enough for me to stop playing. I'm loving every minute, even when I'm freaked out.
The game froze on me a few times too. I thought installing it to the hard drive would help but it didn't. Fortunately, I saved often so it wasn't too much of a headache.

I agree, it's amazingly fun and a really dense cool game with so much bonus stuff to do...I heart it.
I seen a lot of weird bugs in this game like one time near the deathclaw sanctuary i saw this skinless head floating in the air and below was the corpse, it was funny beause you could see the eyes popping out.
i got the game on friday and started playing on Saturday and so far i havent had any glitches/bugs or freezes
P.S. This game is awesome but i have a question in Megaton theres a guy on the top of town named Stokholm is there anywhere of getting to him? Also are there any main quests in Cantberry Commons that i can get an achievement or anything interesting?
I can't believe you have such high expectations in terms of bugs and glitches for a game as large as Fallout 3. It's pretty hard for a game like that to remain stable enough to run flawlessly all of the time. It's a large-scale RPG for God's sake. Not that most of the issues couldn't be fixed with something as little as a patch, but come on, you've got to expect at least some disappointment in regards to freezing, glitches, etc. with Fallout 3. Personally, I had my fair share of issues with that game as well, but I didn't let that stop me from playing it non-stop (to the point of getting all the achievements in it). Don't let the bugs get to you man, Fallout 3's too good a game to be missed for things like that.
Fallout 3 is fun, dont get me wrong, but it doesnt seem quite as amazing as people say. But i only just finished "following his footsteps". Does it get better? and do you get party members? and it doesnt seem like theres that many choices to make, but are there?
freezed once and some slides in vats but the worse but funny bug in fallout was a flying super mutant, that guy was dangerous cause he had a minigun and didn´t die.. but the game is awesome

It does, you've barely touched the game man 7 hours in and I love it more and more though it can be a bit annoying at times.

Help would be appreciated

Yes there is a way but on the Xbox 360 it is very complicated where as on the PC it is simple. I would look for it on you tube watch the whole video and you will find out it's pointless even killing him you get nothing from what heard.
