How funny would it be if they worked that into the show?

A scene starts and a minute or two in, a side character ragdolls into the scenery and props go flying everywhere. Followed by a freeze frame with broken audio. Cut to black, a loading screen appears with a "game tip" at the bottom of the screen. The scene starts from the beginning without the bugginess.

It would be a funny outtake

Also, nobody is walking around in their underwear after someone sells everyone's clothes to the local traders.

I didn't recall seeing one single raider getting inexplicably yeeted a thousand feet in the air either.

Man, I remember some glitches but never game breaking.

New Vegas is still king, and I'm ready to be disappointed in season 2 though

Also true to the original games.

I came to say that. I don't remember either F1 or F2 crashing.

Fallout 1 was pretty stable.

Fallout 2 had plenty of occasions where the damned car would end up with the front and back halves on different maps, frequently in locations where you could no longer walk to it so any quest items you had in the trunk would be lost forever and your save would be forfeit, but not actually that many crashes, no.

That was before the patch. And the trunk would actually follow you funnily enough.

Glitches were pretty prevelent tho.

Armor Piercing rounds, for example, never worked correctly (they did less damage than they were intended to) without 3rd party patches.

And even on modern systems with all the new methods of playing, sometimes the colors get all fucked up.

Now that you mention it.
