Re: Fallout games
NV was a pain on consoles - as you progressed through the game, the engine had to track more objects, which in turn meant it used more memory and was more likely to hit some sort of memory allocation error and crash.
This was made worse if you had all the expansion packs - and was even worse on the PS3, as that had a fixed 256/256mb RAM split between the system and GPU.
As a result, NV is a game I've sadly burned out on. Started on the PS3, crashing got to be too much. Switched to Xbox, got a lot further, but then the crashes started again. Switched to the PC, hit a bug when I got to Hoover Dam which meant I couldn't progress my preferred plotline.
Started again with a bunch of mods to try and make things more interesting... and large swathes of the Strip vanished into thin air. At that point, I pretty much gave up altogether...
