    You can soft lock the game without glitches by killing heads of all major factions (House, Moore & Crocker, and Ceaser & Lucius).
    After that, if yes man is not in the lucky 38 mainframe, the you can use energy weapons and kill him by disintegrating or plasma melting him so he won't respawn. Can't even do the battle of Hoover dam after that.

    It's funny that you mention that you can accidentally softlock yourself because I did that in a casual playthrough. I wasn't saving manually or with quick saves and was just using auto saves. I had finished fighting cazadores and wasn't paying attention to the poison, so I walked into a cabin then immediately died from poison. I had no healing items so I just spawned and died until I gave up and used console commands

    I had a playthrough ending glitch in New Vegas recently but it was so funny that it was worth it. I was playing a Legion character, had burned all my bridges with the BoS and NCR, and I'd gotten to a key branch in the story, whether to save Caesar from his brain disease. Now normally in Fallout games I'm quite careful to make a couple of saves in case crashes occur, but I'd neglected to do so for hours and I used my quicksave right in front of Caesar for the key moment in this story (intending to potentially go back later and play it out later with the other decision). So that's where I was, level 30 something, huge amount of time sunk into the character.
    Let's back the story up a bit. The initial purpose of this playthrough was to test I I could forge a Brotherhood/Legion alliance by getting idolised by both and ousting Elder MacNamara, something I'd never tried. In my dealings with thr BoS I'd done Veronica's quests to bring them technology to support her case, and I came across Euclids C Finder. I used this little baby to soften up a bunch of the more difficult locations, including the deathclaw hollow at the very east of the map. Very broken apocalypse gun, with 2 balancing features: one shot a day, can't use inside. Remember that second feature.
    So one day I'm hunting some Fiends in West Vegas (I wanted Violet's brain for Rex if I remember right) and I think open air compound, perfect place to fire off the death ray. I get the charge sound, the lasers circle the point of impact and flash... and then nothing. Another FNV bug, my toy was broken.
    Anyway I clear the raiders the old school way and continue on with life. About 4 or 5 in game days pass, a few quests get done, I end up finding out the Brotherhood has to go so in we go and murder them. Sorry Veronica.
    So me and Veronica pack up and head back to Caesar and this is where we return to the present. I quicksave in front of the man and the stars align. The moment the menu closes a literal blue bolt from heaven crashes down and disintegrates both Caesar and the Courier. It was the bloody C Finder. I cannot explain how funny this was in the moment. Veronica was standing outside the tent after I'd murdered her family and the 2 men responsible were just evaporated.
    The only other save game within days of playtime I had was the autosave into Caesars tent. I loaded it up and about 1.5 seconds later the same explosion of light, this time at the end of the room, Caesar dead and the courier alive. I loaded again and spun 180 degrees instantly. This time the blast centered on me. Dead.
    I tested again, managing to exit the tent by spinning and pressing exit in one motion. The blast did not go off. But then, going back into the tent, the same thing, 1, 2, boom.
    My Legion playthrough was over. I could either leave the Fort forever and go with Yes Man, or end it there.
    The implications of what happened made the decision clear. Veronica knew about our plan to destroy the Brotherhood. She could take revenge against me in my sleep, but she couldn't get to the architect of the plan on her own.
    So she bided her time and did what she knew how to, play with technology. She studied the C Finder at night and built a device that could jam and release it's firing command to the satellite until a moment of her choosing, a moment when the Courier and Caesar would be in the same room...
    There was only one ending to that story in my mind, we both died in that tent. Veronica had her revenge. And I spent the next 2 hours laughing.

I got pushed into the back area, saved accidentally over my only manual because i was on low health, realized I was stuck in the back room shelving which you can't get out of, and so ended that playthrough. I was like 11 so I guess that explains my naivety with saves lol
    also before i gave up i basically roleplayed as a dude low on food and water who was trapped underneath a shelf forever, it was pretty sad tbh

    I remember way back in the day in my very first run of New Vegas my game had bugged out and soft locked me out of being able to finish the main quest. Went into the fort to confront Benny and kill off all of the legion that I could, chewing through ammo reserves, stims, and doctor bags, killed Caesar, killed Benny, took everything from both of them, went back to House only for him to demand the platinum chip from me. Only problem was the game never spawned the platinum chip on Benny or Caesar. It just didn't exist. And this was before I had any idea what console commands were so I couldn't have just spawned it in to complete the game. Fun times.

    Softlock means you can play the game mostly as intended, but some sort of glitch or error prevents further progress at some point. To get out of a softlock you have to restart the game, like with a fresh save file. Some soft locks happen randomly while others may be a result of triggering the internal trigger states of the game in a certain order or something like that.
    A hard lock would be something like a loading screen resulting in a crash every time. Meaning you are locked out of both progression as well as the game. Depending on the case this may be resolvable with restarting with a new game or if it's from issues with hardware, then even starting a new game may still result in the hardlock error state.

    You can also just start stacking barrels outside of the Strip and jump on them to get out of bounds and Softlock yourself that way.

    This reminds me of the dark souls 3 dlc ending (Ringed City). You are basically at the end of the world, sand and ruins of past kingdoms everywhere, you kill the last other being to get their blood.. Then you are free to roam around the big empty arena (ok there is another enemy too). Fortunately you can still warp to other zones via bonfire :)

    I don't know if New Vegas has this behavior, but in Skyrim I accidentally discovered the horse tilting glitch (where you get off of it and fly) and launched myself way out of the world into the endless ocean. Saving and reloading put me back at the Riverwood Inn, so clearly there's a default cell if you're trying to load into a worldspace from a nonexistent section of it. If that's also the case in New Vegas, there's a way out, easy but slow

    1:17 This almost happened to me. I was near the train yard up north where the blind deathclaws were usually at. They didn't spawn until after I left a shack, in which I had no medical supplies or powerful weapons to defeat them. I could go back into the shack but what good was that? Kept dying over and over but eventually found a way to outrun them.

    Some individual quests can also be "softlocked" by getting them into a state where you technically haven't failed them, but you can no longer finish them either, not without reloading an earlier save or using console commands. Happened to me twice, by accident.
    In "You'll Know It When It Happens", you're told to speak to Ranger Graham Grant about helping him with security for President Kimball. From what I could gather, he's supposed to walk over to you and initiate the dialogue - if you come up to talk to him instead, which is what I did, the only possible dialogue option will be "Goodbye", and he'll sound like he's talking through a radio for some reason. Worse yet, he will continue to be stuck in this state forever, even if you save and reload or leave the area and come back. The only way I found to get him unstuck is to use the console to despawn him and then spawn him back in, which apparently resets his scripting, and then let him come and talk to you instead.
    The second time was during the "Oh My Papa" quest (yes, I took my sweet time to finish it). You're supposed to either destroy the Great Khans or make them break their alliance with the Legion. To do the latter, you have convince all 4 of Papa Khan's closest advisors and publicly disgrace Karl, Caesar's ambassador to the Great Khans. One of these advisors, Regis, demands evidence that Caesar wants to enslave their tribe. If you sneak into Karl's room in the Khans Longhouse, you can steal his diary and give it to Papa Khan, which will both disgrace Karl and prove to Regis that the Legion will enslave them. However, you can also use Speech checks to make Karl speak ill of the Khans in front of Papa Khan, which will also work to disgrace Karl but will NOT satisfy Regis. It will also make Karl's diary useless - you can no longer give it to Papa Khan as proof of Caesar's true intentions. The only way to finish the quest diplomatically at this point is to steal the slave ledger from Caesar's camp, but by this point, I had already been summoned by Caesar and angered him by siding with Mr. House, so I couldn't go back there without getting dunked on by every single Legion soldier in the camp.
    I guess the second one isn't a TRUE softlock - you can still finish the quest by assassinating Papa Khan or wiping out the Great Khans entirely, and it's technically not impossible to fight or sneak your way through Caesar's camp to get the ledger. However, I'm tentatively counting it as a near-softlock because it made it extremely difficult to finish the quest the way I wanted to due to what seemed very much like an oversight rather than intentional game design. I ended up using console commands once again to advance the quest forward so I can talk to Papa Khan as if I've already completed all the requirements for the diplomatic solution (as far as I'm concerned, I have).

    I once accidentally soft locked my skyrim save because I activated that balista on blackreach and that specific balista has a glitch where it will not shoot until you go into a load screen or something so when I got into sinderion's lab and everytime I tried to get out I would get shot and insta killed and to top it off the game would load me inside the lab, I only managed to get out without console commands because I had learned the become ethereal shout before going there.

    I once softlocked myself in FO3 in that swampy hellhole of point lookout. Saved during a firefight out of stimpaks and other healing items fighting some asshole with a shotgun that I swear could track me, only I wasn’t about to revert to a 3 hour old previous save and loose my progress so I died over and over and over again in that same firefight for probably a half and hour or more until finally I slipped away. Figured I’d learned my lesson but the same thing later happened to me in the Camp Searchlight firehouse with radiation. Always keep a save handy folks

    I don't think this area is separate from the main wasteland, because I've got to the same area by escaping the map at the southwest near the Mojave outpost. I found the same area shown here, a huge empty desert bordered by an infinite ocean. In other words, I don't think this is actually a softlock, I think you could get back to the wasteland if you travel far enough in the correct direction.

    You can get stuck by the rocks between jacobstown and the ranger station.
    I once had my map glitched during my first ever playthrough, and when the game told me I was meant to go to hoover dam, the indicator was around the ranger camp.
    So after discovering jacobstown by accident, and re-locating the mark, I went towards the station, thought I could jump from rock to rock to reach the bottom, then I couldn't move and couldn't fast travel cause the game took it as if I was falling...
    So, had to do a restart, after about 2 hours of surviving legion hunters and cazadors.
