The infamous Fallout 3 freeze.

This is my first encounter with this strange glitch.
I have now seen that many people have experienced the
same issue across all platforms, and I have tried to come up
with a solution to the problem, and I have found out some facts.
Please note, thats these facts are actually my opinion, due to personal
tinkering with the game itself.

1) I have first encountered this freezeglitch at the Shalebridge anthill.
Upon entering the anthill, I can leave and re-enter with no problem. HOWEVER,
upon traveling deeper into the anthill, I notice several actions within the game that
will trigger freezing. They are as follow. A) Two invader ants fighting with the docile ants.
B) There is an ant researcher that seems to fall into a radioactive puddle. C) A blotch of
red animated blood appears. It is in mid-air, and repeats its animation, over and over.

With that being seen, I left the cave and re-entered. Upon re-entering the game will freeze
while loading. It would seem that the problem is within the game itself. IT IS NOT A DISC PROBLEM.
IT IS NOT A HARD-DRIVE ISSUE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CLEARING THE CACHE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HARDWARE AT ALL.
It simply has to do
with the game not being scoped out completely for bugs. Thus, some bugs remained. This is
my personal opinion, and honestly I think that others will come to the same conclusion.
I would have to say that there are many other bugs like this within the game, at several
locations. How the bugs occurs is unknown at this moment.
