I absolutely saw this coming. Bethesda's QA is terrible. Remember Fallout New Vegas being rushed and buggy? Some of it may have been due to Obsidian's coding, but in the end the QA wasn't done by Obsidian.

QA is just finding the bugs. It's not our responsibility to fix them and are rarely every consulted when it comes to deciding which bugs need to be fixed above others.

I can't even start a new game because Alduin flies in circle and won't land on the tower. Bethesda really [censored] up.

I get this since the patch before Dawnguard. Just go back to dashboard then reload the autosave after character creation.

I've not really had any game-breaking bugs yet. Only a few quest mishaps and only on the side-quests.
