Nothing major, or consistent, but I did fall through the world when I bought a house in Whiterun. I bought the house (Breezehome), went to the house, went inside, and when I came out, the ground around the blacksmith next door was not loaded properly, and I fell through.

Not a game killer. I was able to walk around and hop back out, then went in the house again and came out again, everything loaded properly. Just a minor clipping issue. Happened once.

Yes. To the point that the game is nearly unplayable.

For no apparent reason, the game randomly freezes up. Sometimes it's for a few seconds, sometimes it's for 10-20 seconds, sometimes it's permanent and I need to reboot my system. Before someone tells me to lower my settings, that's not the problem, I've got a smooth framerate and I'm not pushing the game too hard.

Currently, I'm stuck waiting for a patch. I play a bit every day, but around the time I reboot my computer for the second time I tend to give up and go play games that weren't coded by shroom-smoking monkeys...

I encountered 1 bug so far. In a quest where I am to confront a man or just kill him I frenzied his guards so they all killed eachother, his death wasn't registered and the quest got stuck on me having to kill or talk to his corpse. No luck there.

Thank goodness for several autosaves.

My copy of Skyrim has not yet arrived and I was intrested to know about how buggy it is, im getting it for the 360 cos' im K00l.
By bugs i mean gamebreaking/annoying

Also if you found any funny bugs do tell (No spoilers)

And yes I am sorry for adding to the skyrim spam.

EDIT: Also does anyone know what the picture quality/ font size is like on a SD TV, I heard it sometimes gets cut off at the sides :S
Nothing gamebreaking, or even that annoying for that matter. At least not anything that I've seen or experienced.

The font size is kinda bad on SDTV, you can read it, but it takes a bit of effort and sometimes just a little guesswork to decipher some things. The picture is fine though, absolutely beautiful, even on SD.

Text does tend to get cut off at the sides, which is annoying when there are those little messages in the upper left corner or the important pieces of information that are off to the side.

Otherwise, Skyrim is a great game so far. Lives up to most of my expectations for the most part.

You see, there's a specific area with giants in it. If the giants hit you, well...

Here:



EDIT: I say maybe because, like the bucket thing the Escapist posted the news about, it's unsure if this is a hilarious bug or a hilarious feature.
My companion got hit by a giant, and then appeared a couple of minutes after I killed it. He was lying on the ground face down sliding along following me. Wish I recorded it. He looked hilarious going into combat face first, face down.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug but I haven't done any research on it but here it goes anyway.

Theres a quest I got from Farkas of the Companians to go clear out some ice cave. Problem is when I go in there after about 3-5min the game CTD's. Happens every single time I go in there. So I can't do that quest or the quest(s) related to area past this icy passage.

If anybody knows any solutions to this I will be very grateful.

One bug so far; when using a forge my character impales his elbow with hot iron bar. ...
This as well, but that doesn't bother me. It's kinda funny.

How did you get that camera into my house! Looks like the exact same character I use and had that happen to me, not only there, but anywhere when a Giant kills you, perfect example of Bethesda leaving in hilarious bugs on purpose

so far nothing, although when I jump with my horse it appears to glide briefly. but I wouldn't call being a leaf on the wind a bug. because it doesn't break the game for me.

In the 30 hours I've played so far, I've only seen a couple of bugs.

[li]Occasionally my attacks will lock up so I'll not be able to do anything until they fix themselves, this sometimes means I have to load an earlier save, nothing major.[/li]
[li]A dragon phased through the floor as it was trying to turn around, nothing came of it though, it came back out instantly.[/li]
[li]Objects still phase through tables occasionally.[/li]
[li]The first dragon you kill, outside of Whiterun, spawned as a normal dragon rather than a skeleton.[/li]

Yeah, four minor bugs that have only ever been encountered once or twice in 30 hours, not bad for a Bethesda game.

I killed the bandits on the western side of Whiterun and appropriated their chest to deposit some of my junk until I finished pouring all of my money into leveling smithing and could buy a house. I went back to the spot to make a deposit of dragon parts (those damned bones are heavy) and when I got there, a sword and shield from one of the bandit corpses slowly rose off the ground and floated gradually straight up into the sky.

When smithing, about 40% of the time, my character is holding the metal he is forging by the hot end and hammering the cold end. I should have named him Derp.

When decapitating an enemy, often the head will hover in the air for a few seconds before plopping to the ground.

Real bug: If you receive an "Amulet of Mara" by looting it, it will not function to allow you to marry an NPC and the priest of Mara will not show the dialogue to sell you one. You have to drop all instances of an "Amulet of Mara" from your inventory and then they will sell you one that will function as intended.

On Xbox I watched a mammoth go skydiving from at least a thousand feet in the air, then it landed just fine and went on with its day. I found it quite entertaining.

Pc.

Worst bug so far: Some necromancing dipshit shot a three foot ice-shard into my forehead and it's been stuck there for several in-game days. These things are supposed to dissapear on their own after a while, melting and all.

Saving/Loading, sleeping, changing clothes, setting myself on fire; nothing works. I'm going to start a new game now to get a non-ice-spiked dragonslayer.

Same thing happening for me on PC. Was quite hilarious indeed.

Not found anything game-breakingly bad 6-7 hours in, it's strange. Only crashed once when I tried to "Loot all" gold from a corps, asking me how much of "all" the gold I wanted, then went to desktop. Scheduled auto saves, bless.

Found a few animation glitches only, such as people inside chairs and whatnot.
