This is a video showing a major problem within Fallout 3. This is a glitch that is part of the main quest so I cant finish Fallout 3 because of this problem. I can't even get around the problem. I hope Bethesda patches this problem.

Hey i got bored of Skyrim so i decided to play Fallout 3 again i have the PS3. But it froze one time. So .. i stop playing it. What's up with this? Wasn't it suppose to be fixed since like 4 years ago? I'm not going to it play again i don't want to get corrupted files. I just restored my PS3 recently. So it's clean.

It froze during Point Lookout while I was doing "Walking With Spirits" Quest. I should've saved after leveling up.
