BRB: CRYING BLOOD.
Vlakume's Fallout 3 file has PERMANENTLY CORRUPTED. I should have gone to bed two hours ago but I've been trying everything in my power to freaking fix this. I was about to freak out and shit when I realized I had saved a copy of his file right before Tranquility Lane.
THANK GOD.
Sure I lose about 10 hours of gameplay (over the course of four days, apparently) and will have to re-do 3-4 quests including making the hilariously dangerous trek through Deathclaw-ville USA.
But at least I don't have to restart his entire file.
It's either that, or try to salvage every bit of shit from his Tenpenny Tower suite that I can, and then just never ever want to go in it ever again, since the game will freeze every time, without fail, upon trying to load the floor the suite is on. EVERYTIME. WHY DID I OVER WRITE MY SECOND BACK-UP SAVE WITH THE CORRUPTED DATA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Seriously though, thank GOD I HAVE THAT TRANQUILITY LANE save. @___@;;; (also thank god it's not like 2 weeks worth of gameplay behind)
Moral of the story: Save like 3 different copies of fallout 3 files. Do not overwrite previously working saves. ): I... I don't even know anymore... please patch this bethesda? Google says it happens on xbox AND ps3, so its not even something with just my console... ):
vlakume i will get you back up to speed in no time.
ugh.
Update I emailed bethsoft's support and they basically told me I'm fucked. haha. brb bringing file up to speed.

Vlakume's file that wasn't an option because it pretty much locked me out of all my supplies and such. :\ Though now... I "fixed" it by just avoiding the location, again.
Now I just have to hope it won't happen again.
It happened in tenpenny tower though, through the elevator from the main lobby. I have no idea what triggers it. Sometimes the game freezes randomly, but when it consistently freezes in the same spot every time without fail it's "save corruption" or something. At least that's what bethsoft told me... I'm not sure if I believe them though since some of my earlier saves still allow me to run up and down the elevator 10-12 times before they freeze as well. :\ Seems to me like its just some horrid glitch.
Hopefully you'll have better luck though. I have had some slight lock-ups in megaton and occasionally in VATS but it's not something that persists (and sometimes it will unfreeze if given 5 or so minutes) also I've had glitches with galaxy news radio... but those might be ps3 specific. (though my brother has the pc version and he had problems with galaxy news radio as well)
