Poll: Skyrim bugs

[omicron1]

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.

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

lol I did that once and every one got pissed at me: "that was a valueable animal!" Legend of Zelda this is not

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.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Yeah I found a bug. My cloth map is woven paper or some shit. SCREW YOU BETHESDA! HOW COULD YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS?

I got that with the collectors edition as well. I opened it up and was like 'what the fuck is this shit?'

 

[Flip-Shying]

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.

 

[TJ rock 101]

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.

 

[Jack Rascal]

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.

Spoiler: The Forsworn Conspiracy bug

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?

 

[automatron]

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

 

[TheColdHeart]

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.

 

[harvz]

yeah (pc), i had a nasty one in my 3rd dragon fight, the dragons textures didn't load so i was fighting a bright blue dragon when it should've been black, a few minor bugs and some interesting dialogue problems.

 

[cuzant]

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.

 

[Rawne1980]

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.

 

[marioruggerio]

for me Enemies in this one quest are showing up as blue skeleton outlines.. almost as if a layer of animation isnt loading. the same goes for their weapons, altho haveing a hollow neon blue sword is pretty cool

edit: this was on 360

 

[MTibbs-89]

Yes, yes, and YES on the PC. I have an excellent PC which can run he game smoothly at ultra settings, so none of it is an issue with my computer. I have issues where if I get off the horse in certain places and it is suddenly dragged or teleported a good 100 feet off- sometimes going over a ledge high enough that when it lands, it dies. During a battle, it got hit by one of the catapults and was sent flying into the air and- same thing, fell 1000 feet and died.

Sometimes spec maps don't load in, or diffuse maps don't, and I am either looking at an overly smooth/shiny surface (that is obviously supposed to be rough/dull, such as cave walls), or I am looking at an ugly purple normal map- this seems to happen a lot.

:::::SPOILER:Just finished the quest at Marcarth that gets you tossed into the mines, and while the Silver-Blood bastard who got me into trouble in the first place took care of the bounty, the instant I went to the shrine of Talos(where they arrested me) to check things out, the guards were still there and they tried to arrest me AGAIN. I resisted arrest so I could check out the dude's corpse- he has some decent items and over 800 septims on him, so I REALLY want to get his stuff- and now the damn guards in Marcarth won't leave me alone at all, even though I didn't kill any of them and don't have a bounty on my head anymore. Seriously, could they not have given me a damn yield option? >.>::::::

Seriously, LOVE the game, but hate all these bugs.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

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.

Congratulations.

The first game-breaking bug that affects your game more the longer that you play.
I'm fiddling with ways to fix it. Even though I shouldn't have to.

 

[Cowabungaa]

A few UI bugs yes; sometimes clicking on a tab in a shop screen takes me out of the shop screen, and sometimes the wrong dialogue option gets activated.

I also had a freaky bug with a raven that was stuck in a tree. Made some hellish, shrieking noise too.

Also:

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.

In other words, you had yourself a Rapidash? AWESOME!

 

[ShindoL Shill]

there's the now-famous Giant Airways glitch... but thats about it (apart from the occasional broken texture.

and the whole NPCs can do stuff when you're talking? it kind of bugged out, and a guard got slashed to death while i was buying him off.

I've one major bug because one word wall won't tell me the word I hear the music but the wall doesn't highlight the word and so I can't complete the quest.
and a rather amusing one: I saw a breakdancing dragon skeleton

you might not be near enough. you need to get stuck right in there, but enemies can get at your backside.
its kind of like sex.

 

[Feneture]

Today I encountered a very strange glitch.. There was a Dragon flying overhead so I jumped off my horse to engage it and it swooped down and landed infront of me.... And then died on the spot for no reason! Easiest Dragon Soul I ever got

 

[Danny91]

A quest in windhelm wont trigger. I cant bu the house.
Thives guild qust glitched, I cant do the random quests from vex to restore the guild (they are repetative and want them out of the way)
And one time I was swmming, the game launched me foreward after hitting some ice. I ended up glitching between some rocs/ice underwater. I died.

Some folks had corpses ruin their wedding.

O yeah and my TV cant show all the dialouge. Resulting in "you gave me what item ?" and "oh shit its a master lck, ok how any lockpics do I have left... Oh I cant see. Well shit."

I have the exact same problems with the windheim quest and the thieves guild guys, I did the extra thieves guild missions up til the first big one, but after that Vex and Delvin just dont have the option to get more jobs...did it ever get fixed in your game or is it still bugged?
