Game gets progressivly worse as I play until I crash

It is POSSIBLE to get both armors and weapons from the antagonizer and mechanist. I don't remember how exactly, it involves reverse pickpocketing, stealth boys and power armor. Google it.

I know it is possible to get both of their armors if you're playing as a female character and you use the lady killer perk is it. I don't remember the name now. But yeah, when i do that quest, i always go to the Antagonizer and convince her to stop. It may take a few tries to get right, but she finally does and gives me her armor in return for letting her go and not killing her. Then i go over to the Mechanist and use that perk and he gives me his suit, saying he doesn't want it anymore. Don't know how that would be done with a male character as i never played as one.

In my second playthrough, I followed him, and he just goes nowhere. So now I don't feel as bad shooting him, since he doesn't become a recursive NPC. It also says on the that article that if you don't follow him, he just disappears.

Just wanted to update this with some insight I found out.

Apprently the game starts to get temdiously sluggish when I have New Vegas miscs in my inventory. I picked up a roll of a duct tape I found, all of a sudden, massive FPS loss, pick pocketing took ages to load, then I got the dreaded crash after load. I think the problem lies within invetory, so for now I'm not picking up anything unless it's a stimpack, caps or RadAway.

That's... weird...

True, I should have mentioned that, I just find it easier to shut it off entirely. That's one of the reasons that I am firmly against Win8, its like windows is trying to make it a more closed platform and I hope they go bankrupt because of it.

The three part crash seems to happen anyway when I get too far in to the game. I just completed Operation Anchorage and now I'm getting the 3 load crash syndrome again. So, I used the 4GB Fix and it stopped crashing. I'm gonna not take my chances and continue not hording so that I hope it keeps it from crashing still. I did like 8 fast travels, 2 door loads and a save and load, and the most it did was studder which I'm fine with.
