My horse's tail caught on fire during the siege of Whiterun and stayed that way -- with a huge flame jetting 15 feet out behind it. It looked like it was farting fire. I'll post a pic when I get home, it was hilarious.

Is it a bug that I've killed 3 dragon so far and only unlocked 1 word from them?
You don't get new Shouts from killing dragons, you get points to activate a shout you've already learned -- which has to be done manually.

It's probably just a bunch of goofy looking bugs right now. We wont be hearing about the real game-crashers until it's been out for a week or two.

The problem isn't just the bugs. Being wanted for murder for killing a chicken undetected is a sign of some bad programming.

Many, many, MANY graphical glitches. Things like textures not loading properly, things catching fire a second late after they have been hit with a fireball, being able to see under the map, and (my favorite) a mamoth that rocketed into the air for no reason and then slowly descended back to earth. The last one only happened once, but it was so freaking hilarious

However, Skyrim has definitely been worth waiting in the cold for the midnight release. I am the leader of the Companions, the Arch-mage of the mage college, and I finally found the Dark Brotherhood :D

edit:

also I found a blood dragon and a frost dragon in the same place. When I approached (after quick-saving) the blood dragon flew away and the frost dragon stayed and fought me. I'm not sure if that was a glitch or if they were making dragon babies >.>

Two bad bugs to date. First, I got stuck in the enchanting interface; no usable escape keys. Merited a restart.
Second, at one point a dragon landed on a tree and instantly died.

Plus, of course, the usual minor inconsistencies that don't really matter in the end. Overall, pretty solid.

Even better is robbing people's homes undetected the entire time, having assassins come after you some time later with a note signed by the guy you robbed hiring them to kill you, then going back to the guy in question only for him to go about his business like nothing had happened. At all.

Gaming breaking? No, though the interface occasionally fucks up (Or maybe that's a feature. It's awful enough that it's hard to tell); especially when trying to use alchemy labs and stuff.

My "companion" or whatever, she got smacked by a giant and FLEW up in the air so high I lost sight of her. I kited the Giants around for a good 30 seconds before she landed hahah. That was fun.

Otherwise no bugs to report. At least not Bethesda bugs - but there are PC driver issues for GPU as well as sound.

The only bug that happened to me was my horse flying away into the distance once I got off of it. The annoying thing is that I spent good money on it.

I have a bug on the PC that stops me progressing with the main main quest, isn't that nice?
When Alduin is supposed to show up at the cutscene bit on top of the mountain, he just doesn't and everbody stands there and i can't move or do anything.
I was going to reinstall the game in a while, hope that fixes it.

My first proper bug raised its ugly head. Can't continue The Forsworn Conspiracy. Checked few other sites and some said it might fix itself in time, but probably I have to wait for a patch.

When you enter Markarth you first witness a murder. Eltrys asks you to investigate it. Once I am done I am prompted to find Eltrys again. When I arrive at the Shire of Talos an Imperial soldiers recommends I should join the Imperial Legion. I don't know where he came from, but OK. Unfortunately Eltrys is lying dead on the altar. Naturally I looted him, but I cannot continue with the quest. Also, the optional task "obtain the key to Weylin's room" shows as unfinished. Which is fairly strange as I have two keys to Weylin's room...

Anyone else ran into this?

I've seen a couple, but they barely bother me cause they can be quite funny sometimes
Seeing a mammoth levitate into the air then fly into space has been quite funny.
Seeing a deer drop from the sky next to me was also
Those have been the main ones I've seen, just things flying off.
Also NPC's teleporting sometimes

I've had 1 maybe 2.
Early on in the game when characters stopped walking they would slide forwards without the walking animation for a few feet then stopped. It only happened about 2-3 times though.

The other was when my companion attacked a giant, she got hit by the club and flew like a missile right across the map, she was a speck flying through the air 'til I couldn't see her anymore. I assume they died on landing as they appeared a few minutes later from another direction.

Try jumping when still on a horse while its standing on an upward slope and watch in amusement as it flies back . Buggy? yes. Hilarious? Hell yes.

Playing since midnight on xbox, here. Only one 'glitch', but it's hilarious. A giant smacked me and I went flyyyying. I lol'd and that was it.
Giants send you on a small trip .... wait till you fight a mountain giant and it sends you all the way back down the bugger.

On Topic....

Only encountered one in a dungeon. I jumped off a small ledge, fell through the floor and appeared back at the dungeons entrance.
