Exploding Head Update

[revanmfc]

Hi!

So I encountered this problem twice.
I spent some time analyzing it and here is what I know so far (information that nowhere else did I found):

- it only happens at midnight

- it only happens outside, never in interiors

- it can be outwaited:

I have a save before 0:00, around 23:46 or something. When I stay inside past 0:00, then go out, nothing happens. When I'm outside before 0:00 and wait an hour with the wait function, my head doesn't explode. The next midnight my head is still on it's place.
- when it explodes, it happens with the fiery animation.

Other things to know:

- I play on hardcore.
- I took the early bird and the wild wasteland perks at creation.
- I use vortex with mods from the all time trending pages, I use 81 of them, including the archive invalidation built-in function, which the program flags as a mod.
- I have all the DLCs.
- I have the 4GB Patch installed.
- I have NVSE.

My theory:
It only happens once a week. -> But this needs further investigation (I first wrote incestigation lol).

It must be a built-in thing for the base game. -> This is my first playthrough, so I think it's some story event that later gets revealed or a wild wasteland thing...

 

I don't know, but I'm a big Obsidian fan, so I want to experience this game, exploding heads or not.
So here's what I learned so far, I hope it helps. I read about this topic on steam, reddit and so on, but no true solutions whatsoever, not even a proper description of the problem. Here's mine.

Have a wonderful day! ^_^
