can't you just restart from your last save point prior to the glitch?

I thought I remembered reading that top shelf games don't have these sorts of glitches.    You should buy better games.

I don't see what the problem is. I've gotten stuck in Pittsburgh with no way out many times in my life. Art imitating life, I say.

Bethesda games are buggy, because they are so huge and open.  The more flexible software is, the more it is open to bugs.

if FO3 was an on rails shooter it would have been bug free, but that is the decision one needs to make as a software consumer.  Do you want something 100% bug free, but 100% limited? or are you willing to accept bugs w/ expanded functionality?

The fallout 3 DLCs are known to be buggier than the main game...

Then it's really your own fault, glitches aside, Rule #1 of games  like this is ALWAYS have AT LEAST one backup save. Fallout 3 saves are about 1MB so there is no reason not to have them. Yes Fallout 3 is more bug filled than most games, but every game has glitches in it and it's better to have at least one save to go back to if things don't work out. Glitches aside it's also great if a few hours after making a decision you regretted it and want to do something another way. This is especially applicable in a game like Fallout 3 where there are 3-4 ways to complete almost every quest.

I have almost a gig of saves on my pc version as I wait for the goty version.  will be nice to that space back.

Edit: actually more like 800mb, but still a lot.  they get incrementally larger each save, ending in about 7mb each.
