Some scary bugs in #IndianaJones and the Great Circle, with the latest Patch 5. All in Gizeh, with female NPCs from what I can tell. I've decided to start a new game after enjoying the DLC, and can confirm I've never had anything like this before the latest update. @bethesda.net youtu.be/nqSG2xk5ecg
