Fallout New Vegas intro bug

THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IS BROKEN. (10/21 update: I weigh in at length on the issue at gameosaurus.com. Bottom line, please don't hold the glitchy madness against this great, great game.)

(10/20 Update: All of my NPCs and enemies were doing this. Animation broken, hovering across the wasteland. Game also crashed every five minutes. Fixed it all by turning off aniso filtering? Anyway, it doesn't happen anymore, and the game is mostly stable now. Loving it, by the way.)

Legit PC copy purchased 10/19 through Steam.

Specs: i5 / 6 GB corsair / Radeon HD 5850 with newest drivers

To answer how this happens:

animation of in-game objects is done through a series of 'joints' which individually control the triangles (each object is just an assimilation of 1000's of triangles) in clusters. So you could have a group of triangles that control a hand, a finger, an arm- you get the idea.

Now that you know the idea, the bug: The 'head bone' was told to move to a specific degree. You can rotate something any # of degrees. The head started at -360, rotated to 45, etc!
