Skyrim Bughunt

[Angerwing]

The owned bed in the Whiterun house got me as well. It turns out that the single bed in the sideroom is for your Housecarl, Lydia. You get the big, bouncy double bed.

I actually had heaps of problems with Esbern, for the main quest. For me, his sound files weren't installed properly, so when I talked to him, he blitzed past all the dialogue without actually saying anything, and then wouldn't open the door for me. Once I fixed that though, it worked fine.

Other than that, Skyrim has been remarkably stable for a Bethesda game.

Makes some sense actually, thanks! Will edit OP

When the courier came to give me the Dark Brotherhood's "We know" note, he wore boots. And nothing else.
And a chicken was considered a witness to its own murder. The bounty disappeared two seconds later, but still... I thought they said they fixed that??

The only bug I've experienced is sometimes when I try to take something from a chest, be it with "R" or by clicking the item, the game tries to put my own item of the same kind into the chest. Obviously the natural reaction is to try taking it again. This is in fact the wrong thing to do as it crashes the game. Instead simply close the chest, open it again and take the loot.

I just had a great glitch where the washing machine did the wash for only one pou.... No that was real life, not Skyrim. Damnit stop blurring together in my memory!

I've put items in my Whiterun house out for display...and found them missing days later. Are NPCs stealing from me? I had one NPC follow me into my house then leave right away.

However, I'm now the Arch-Mage of the Mage College, so I may not use that house anymore. My college digs are vastly superior, ya know, with the whole "all the alchemy items" farm growing in there. Fuckin sweet as hell.

One crash
The Thieves guild quest where you recieve the nightingale armour is glitchy
One of the character glitches: opens a gate then closes it before entering. (this didn't actually happen to me but I hear it's happened to lots of people)

No glitches so far otherwise (that I'm aware of)

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Esbern bug, which makes the whole main quest unplayable. It happens when you first meet him. His voice doesn't work, so he doesn't say anything. Luckily, I was able to solve it.

A lot of quest books remain undroppable long after quest completion
[spoiler = Main Quest Spoiler] Especially annoying in the case of the Elder Scroll, with a weight of 20! Plus it'd look great on my mantle. [/spoiler]

On my way to High Hrothgar i got attacked by dragon, so I took cover in a shallow cave. Dragon tried to follow me, but overestimated his maneurability:

The poor thing is still alive, it just lies there, fruitlessly clawing the air.

 

[Reeves88]

ok i got a list going and i havent started the main storyline yet so who knows, theres a dwarf cave (shimmering somthing) which was not finished all the eneimes are solid purple the walls are purple which was not cool cuz it was the first time i got to see the dwemer main big robot guy and he was purple, how am i ment be scared or go now thats cool when its bright purple, on a couple of occasions when i have fast traveled on my horse, it has come with me into the city instead of being left at the stables, my carriage hire dosent work he just sits there and dosent move, and ive had multiple guys that i have killed fall threw walls or floors (its realy annoying when a mini boss dose that or a dragon as i cant loot them, although with the dragon it was funny as theres now this crater where it crash landed but the body just went through the mountain) oh and my personal fav is when my character gets cought on smothing more then a step and wont jump becuase its going through the falling stage but his not falling his just stuck on a small ledge.

 

[puff ball]

no game breaking bugs yet. i have seen a number of dogs stuck in walls. and a door that wouldn't open with enemies on one side and my dog running straight at it refusing to let it go(i had to leave the area before he started following me again).

 

[breadsammich]

I was fighting a dragon near rorikstead. It then kinda started floating away slowly. Not flapping its wings or anything, just...floating. Then it kind of tilted into a nose-dive position but kept moving sideways. I finally shot it with an arrow and got it's attention again, but killing it didn't really feel like a victory. Somehow, defeating the "Special" Dragon didn't seem like much of an accomplishment.

I got launched into orbit by a giant.

Yes, this happens every time a giant gets the killing blow with his club (as opposed to hands or feet).

My other one is textures and colours being sucked off random character models and they're left as a bright blue/purple smooth 'paint job'. It is fixed when I close and restart the game but it affects all character models of that race during the session.

The only other glitch I have had is I started playing at about 18:30 on Friday and 5 minutes later it is 09:00 on Tuesday and I had to go to work. So yeah, seems to be an issue with the Creation Engine sucking time out of the real world.

randomly walking around whiterun only to have a dead dragon randomly land on my head, give me a dragon soul and some decent loot, good thing I was right next to the general store.

also that stupid ring of hircine doesn't let me transform more as a werewolf.. grr

 

[Shane McCay]

I had a couple of glitches and one game-breaker before I remembered that there was a day-one patch. Good thing I finally figured out how to finagle xbox live with out a wireless adapter! Laptop+xbox=win.

That would be a GREAT image for a "You're doing it wrong" demotivational.

Theres a pretty annoying one in the PC version where you can't exit conversations. It's something to do with tabbing out during a talk with any given npc.

 

[bobmus]

My carriage hire doesn't work he just sits there and doesn't move

Do you realise you need to jump into the back of the carriage? Might sort that one out. Or do you mean you just sit there happy as larry in the back of a carriage going sweet nowhere?

 

[castlewise]

-Skyrim doesn't like alt tabbing.
-Collision physics when something is at the edge of a pool can be a little wonky. And bodies sometimes twitch.
