I've got an arrow permanently stuck in my character. I believe it got there from one of the ghosts in Ysgramor's Tomb.
I've removed armor and cleared the cache. It seems to be permanent at the moment.
I think there needs to be a check for this sort of object being rendered at load time.

There are many other threads on this very same issue, some on the first page. So you're definitely not the first this has happened to, myself included.

Other's have fixed it by removing any arrows from their inventory. Getting shot by more arrows. Mine went away after I was set ablaze by a destruction mage.

Which just proves that Bethesda's system for bug reporting is essentially non-existent. I don't know who in gamesas's administration is too incompetent to see this blatantly obvious issue, but they're obviously overpaid.
It's just stupid how easily bugs could be better handled with a KB and search option narrowed by category. It's definitely costing them money.
I mean I refused to buy any DLC for Fallout New Vegas and I won't buy anything related to the game until the GOTY ed is released and is cheap on steam or amazon.
They could be getting a whole lot more money for more functional products and they just ignore it. Not very bright.

I agree. Elder scrolls games and fallout games sell well already, but imagine if they were far less bug-riddled? Many more people buying the games and many more getting the Dlc as soon as possible as well. I myself havent ran into too many serious bugs so far, but i know theres alot of minor ones. I definitely would consider an arrow permanently in my face MAJOR if it happened to me, but didnt happen yet. I cant see why this wouldnt be fixed in next patch anyway. It should be simple to reproduce. Other glitches that seriously annoy me are ones that involve bugged equipment for items you spend a good deal of time acquiring. Hopefully a good del of problems can be patched
