Skyrim Bughunt

[JohnGD117]

Unremovable quest items with weight. I have 20 pounds of had heads and several pounds of giant toes that will never be able to be removed from my characters inventory because I can't find the quest that they're related to or I have already completed said quest.

 

[Briney-]

A couple of bugs that have made me laugh so far:

I was returning to Whiterun from a quest (on foot, not fast travel), and when I got to the front gate, the tail of Mirmulnir (first dragon you encounter) was sticking out of the door. I had killed the dragon a few days earlier. If I got close enough to the tail, I could interact with it and loot anything that I hadn't picked up when I had initially killed the dragon. When I entered and exited Whiterun a few minutes later, the tail was gone.

Lydia, my NPC follower, suddenly died when she couldn't follow me into a particular section of a Companions quest. I eventually found her lying face down in a stream of water in Whiterun. With Lydia having died, I now have an owned bed in my home that belongs to a dead NPC.

I've also had NPCs follow me into my home, finish the conversation they were having with me, and then leave.

I've seen a lot of enemies attack/walk through doors. Initiate combat with someone and then shut the door between you. Watch it fail.

 

[M-E-D The Poet]

I've had a really annoying one. I was asked to fetch the Waters of Life book for someone in the mage tower, but I'd already found it during a previous quest. He won't take it though, and the map marker keeps telling me to go back to the cave, to the now empty chest. I can't get it out of my inventory either.

oh I had this with some innkeeper I killed

Horrid stuff that is, but in a sense it's reality

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

That's because it gives you more transformations randomly. As in, you will be walking along in the market on a bright summer day then suddenly transform into a werewolf for no reason.

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.

You know, she bothers me. Why does she get her own room? I paid for the damn house lady! And all she does is stay in my room anyway. That's borderline creepy to me. She jut sits there all day long and eats my food. I am starting to think the next time I come home she has put on weight and can't leave the house

I don't actually take her with me on any missions. Could be that I'll user her sometime, but I don't like people following me when I do missions. But I have thought about purchasing a war dog...

Thats whats been bothering me aswell! Though I hate her for other reasons aswell. But ruining my wedding after she already died was the last straw.

Yeah, that happened to me too! I think the AI is just too smart, it figured out I was only marrying NPCs for more meatshields due to me being a cowardly wizard who only uses destruction and conjuration magic. SO it went out and brought the body of lydia to the ceremony as if to say "Fuck you, I know what this is all about!"

 

[DRes82]

Cursed, god-damned memory leak. After about a half hour of playing, when I change areas (ie see a loading screen) my framerate drops precipitously. I am running on ultra and refuse to reduce the settings as the game runs smooth as butter most of the time.

Just getting tired of having to restart every half hour or so.


On a good and incredibly awesome note, however...

Spoiler

The Companions just turned me into a freakin werewolf and gave me wolf armor to wear. Werewolf form is insanely powerful.

 

[Jack Rascal]

But ruining my wedding after she already died was the last straw.

Now that is just rude. Being somewhere you are not welcome is one thing, but to ruin someones wedding day is just unacceptable. And what lengths she went to crawl back to your house!! Death means nothing to her privileged arse. The nerve on her...

 

[Proverbial Jon]

I jumped into bucket in a bar and fell through the world.

Sounds like someone's been hitting the old Skooma a little too hard lately!

I had one NPC follow me into my house then leave right away.

A guard followed me into my home, proclaimed that I was the Dragonborn and promptly left again! I didn't know whether to feel honoured that he recognised me or slightly violated for his forced entry!

OT:

- Dropped items sometimes get stuck in the air and just stay there floating.
- There were mammoths walking in the sky around Whiterun.
- The Markarth quest "The haunted house" glitched so that I could not continue with it, luckily I had a previous save.
- The horse turns invisible sometimes if there is a wall blocking my view.
- I can't marry Lydia or Ysolda in Witerun, despite wearing the amulet of Mara. Ysolda is supossed to give me a quest before she likes me enough for marriage but I can never get it to trigger. Don't know if this is a glitch or just me doing something wrong!

Also, not a glitch but immersion breaking nonetheless... I was fighting a dragon which found a fort close to Whiterun. It landed inside and started attacking the people there. I managed to take it down and once the men had sheathed their swords and started walking away, I overheard one say: "When are we going to see some action around here?" Needless to say my great victory felt a little anticlimatic after that!

There's a double bed you can sleep in in the Whiterun house.
For me, I'm just crashing quite a bit recently. Seems that it crashes more often once I put the graphics settings up, which kind of sucks.

I opened up my computer and pulled out a handful of dustbunnies-- specifically from the processor heat sink and out of the graphics card circulation system.

Crashing has gone to nearly zero.

 

[masticina]

A stuck bodyguard, I did go into a cave area to hunt someone down and I could use her help. I could.. if she followed. It took me going out and in again to get her to follow me.

Eh you know with that mount of content, dynamic events and so on I can overlook that.

 

[The Funslinger]

Except for the mainstory quest "Talk to Alvor" bugged out, not so much.
Though I wonder if the fluctuating difficulty is also a minor bug.
(I.e. the one moment im slaying dragons like a pro, the next moment a wolf looks at me and I instantly die =/ )

I believe the random dragon encounters are scaled to your level while world creatures have their own scaling ranges.

I hit a bug were an NPC was duplicated, with his duplicate two feet to the side of him and clipped into the floor up to his torso.

I also have the dragon skeleton following me around in Winterhold. I did kill that dragon in town but it keeps spawning in my face when I fast travel there.

And I don't know if this might be a bug but I completed the Whiterun quest where the Redguard mercs are looking for a woman yet the two guys that start the quest are still chilling in the Whiterun entrance yet don't say anything. They look like they were meant to be removed.

I had the skeleton of the first dragon you kill appear on the wreckage of a farmhouse. Since then, though they've all disappeared as they should.

Other than that, and the odd thing that resolved itself within seconds, I haven't had any glitches. Anyway, I've been cautious about completing the main questline. Can someone tell me (simple yes or no answer, no spoilers) if I can still find dragons after the main questline is finished?

Walked through solid rock. That's how sneaky my assassin is!

No, some people are just cruel wankers. Sounds like you found Tamriel's equivalent of me.

That's because it gives you more transformations randomly. As in, you will be walking along in the market on a bright summer day then suddenly transform into a werewolf for no reason.

If you complete the quest it should allow for an extra transformation each day and no randoms.

Found any glitches or bugs in Skyrim? Proclaim them here and share your woes!

My favourite is buying a Whiterun house. Your bed there is marked as 'owned'. But not by you. So you can't sleep in your own bed. Great!
Edit: The bed is for Lydia, not actually a bug. My bad!

In that same house a had a whiterun guard in it for a while telling me where to buy weapons.

 

[Liquid Paradox]

I have had an Arrow stuck in my head for the last two days... won't dissapear.

Also, This:

Spoiler: yeah, dont click this spoiler if you haven't been to Markarth

So, in Markarth, you know that quest where you investigate the forsworn related killings, and either end up in Jail, or being forced to kill the guards? well, I went to Jail, and completed the quest from there by helping that asshole forsworn guy escape.

So, later, after everything had been said and done, a guard in the town suddenly says "Halt, in the name of the Jarl!" but he doesn't do anything. Naturally, I figure that he must be prompting me for a miniquest, so I talk to him. Instead, he repeats the lines the guard tells you after you have been framed, giving me the choice to say one of three things: 1) I was Framed! 2) Take me to Jail, then. 3) I would sooner die then go to your Jail!

Clicking number one only unlocks flavor text. Number three forces you into combat with the guards. Number two, during the quest chain, causes you to go to jail, where you finish the quest line. Unfortunately, this time around after the guard tells you how no one ever escapes from the mines (even though you just did) you have no choice but to click the only available dialog option, "...". if you do, the conversation starts over :/

So, the only way out of the conversation is to resist arrest. Sorry if your playing a "good guy" because murder is the only option.

During the Dark Brotherhood plot

Spoiler

I made several attempts to assassinate Vittoria Vici at her wedding, since my sneak was low and I kept getting caught. During one of those attempts, the ensuing chaos turned into a massacre when the Imperial guards summarily slaughtered her husband's entire family. I'd long since surrendered and paid my fine, but the guards kept wailing on them till they were all dead.

Oh, and this:

Spoiler

Thanks, Talos! I'm sure you're really a god now!

 

[DeleteThisAcc]

1. First killed dragon skeleton teleported to entrance of that city nearby.
2. Second killed dragon skeleton (the one that attacked my while I was going 7k steps to mountain to speak to monks(?) for first time) just disappeared after I looked away.
3. I tried to jump over some cut down tree or something like that and started flying. Can't remember where exactly.
4. Time from time weapons of killed enemies will start flying - slowly going up
5. Third dragon landed then teleported behind me (glitch or special ability?)
6. Rocket horse. First horse I mounted started flying upwards. After loading did not happen again.

Fun game
