Yeah I have no idea why Fallout3 still has bugs. It can be updated easily at anytime over Live but last I checked some NPCs glitch and die. Die? That's unacceptable. At least make them immortal like Oblivion(important people get knocked out but don't die).
In my game a basic quest NPC was gone all the sudden. I searched all over town, I even waited in his room for about two game days before I had to look it up online. After reading he sometimes "falls" from his position I found him wedged behind a building, dead and useless. Not an important npc but he was still useful up until then.

@Tanc, I usually have about 100 hours playtime for rpgs I like. I'm into details though so I do everything possible while I play. Also I usually takes months to finish a game so it's spread out.
Honestly I stopped playing Fallout3 for now. I just don't feel like playing it for some reason. It's definitely not as epic as the first two games.
