I think if you hold down the button, it works. It just doesn't always tell you that it worked :/ go to all of them and hold down the button, it should make the focal points look a little different. that may be the problem? I'm not sure. But i didn't think it was working at first either, because the action icon didnt seem to be lit up.

Vilkas is bugging out for me. I used magic on him in the fight and has since been opening dialogue with me and also trying to attack me. Also to note that my game is now getting random freezes for around 10 seconds then unfreezes.

The "Blood on the Ice" quest is broken. I looked online and I'm not the only one with the same problems. My friend who has the game has the exact same problem.

SPOILER ALERT
To give further information, both my friend and I went into Windhelm, heard of the murders, and then left. When we came back, there was a dead body of a woman. We did the quest as normal, but we cannot complete it. FOR ME, I did the quest as normal, but was never able to get any "help from Jorleif." When I got the necklace from the abandoned home, I was only given the option to sell it to the Curious Curiosities guy or keep it. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!! Through the internet I learned that this man is the killer. I went into his chest after stealing his key and found two journals incriminating him, however, even armed with this evidence I have no other available options. Anyone else have this problem?

It seems that the College of Winterhold has a lot of glitches in general. Tolfdir just stands there in "First Lessons" when he is supposed to be showing you how to use a ward. Sometimes, when you buy spells, the book doesn't show in the inventory, but it takes your money anyway, Tolfdir won't follow you when he is supposed to, Mirabelle repeats herself to people, the focal points don't want to be cleansed at times, and I have seen several others. Personally, I experienced the first one, and I cannot move forward in the college until this quest is complete. All of the important doors are locked.

Purity of Revenge quest i got the witch heads but i cleared the refuge before i started the companions and now volkas wont start the quest am i stuck not finishing now???

Thieves guild armor glitch where tonilia wont talk to me about anything but upgrading my armor... which I sold and can't get back.

In Proving Honor I get stuck in the cage and Farkas comes over and tells me that he will find a way out and then other guys come in and surround him. Then nothing happens and I am stuck in the cage. I know something is supposed to happen but nothing does. I have reloaded this many times but nothing happens. Any thoughts?

After complete the quest "In my time of need" the two Alik'r warriors are still inside whiterun at the entrance and not leaving. They just stay there and say something like "Hi, how are you." I think this is a bug.

Quest: revealing the unseen
Part: talk to mirabell ervine

When I talk to her the dialog option to ask about the staff of Magnus never appears. I thought it appeared once and I asked her, but I'm not sure if I backed out by hitting the b button. But the next part of that quest doesn't appear. I've also fought dragon in the courtyard of the Mage college and I don't know if that's related to this bug.

in scoundrels folly when you are supposed to shadow the argonian out of the building, he disappears and it is impossible to complete the quest.

Also having the bug related to the thieves guild, I can't talk to maven to start the quest after "loud and clear". Seriously unimpressed what with being 30 hours in, so starting over isn't really an option. (and no my previous save hasn't solved anything.)

You get the Staff of Magnus by killing a dragon priest in Labyrinthian.

1. I participated in the Stormcloak Rebellion, and since that gets rid of Balgruuf it seems that I can't talk to him/his children to get the Ebony Blade...
2. Eorlund died trying to save me from town guards, and I'm assuming that has something to do with me not being able to access the Underforge to complete the "Totem of Hircine" quest...

Really annoyed at both of these. One is required for the "Oblivion Walker" achievement and Aela is following me around for the other and now I can't get rid of her which svcks 'cause she's really annoying.

Quest: The man who cried wolf- I cleared Wolfskull cavern before knowing about the quest, didnt even get to the part with the Necromancer's, and the guy in the Solitude palace stands there and doesn't talk to the queen to start the quest. So im unable to complete the quest chain to become thane and buy the house in Solitude,

It's not Bethesda's fault you didn't keep saves. But do what you want. Your anger is misplaced.

Talk to Mirabelle when you first arrive at the mage's college, she's supposed to give you a tour. But instead, she starts spinning slowly in cirlcles and is apparently stuck in the environment. So she can't move to give me the tour. I finally went into the next area where the questline continues in "class" and it updated, but nobody showed me around and I am assuming I'm sleeping in the right bed? In the right room? Dunno if I missed anything on the tour.

Quitting the game, shutting down the console, restarting, playing another game and then playing this one again (to empty the memory) didnt' help. She was still slow-motion twirling and couldn't take me on a tour.

?

Has anyone found a solution to getting tolfdir to cast the spell? will clearing my cache have a chance of working?

Thieves guild- the dainty sload- side quest for delvin to get the contact in solitude. i have to find erikur but the quest marker is saying i have to be in solitude but it is far outside the city limits and he is impossible to find.

This is part of the main quest line I would imagine:

I am getting this as well. I killed a dragon at level 22 and absorbed its soul. Then I located and Dragon Shrine were the words of power are found, and they where not activating. So I was like that's odd, maybe I have to kill the dragon first. Killed the dragon and Kosrith.... still no thu'um word, I turn around and notice that the dragon has not disintegrated and I have not received a soul. So I wonder around looking for another dragon. Find the dragon kill it and again does not dissolve and I do not receive a soul. This a very BASIC and KEY component of the game. If this is broken I can't imagine what other sort of triggering glitches are present in this game.

The House of Horrors
- Tyranus won't head downstairs to the locked door, he just stands in the foyer saying "There's no way out, there's no way out..." (even though the door to Markarth is still unlocked)
- I kill him anyway (since that's what the quest requires I do, according to a walkthrough) and get Molag Bal's message about descending further
- I activate the altar and go through the dialogue tree
- No matter how I respond to Molag Bal, the upstairs door (to Markarth) remains locked and says "This door cannot be picked; you need a key."

I've tried waiting, sleeping in the bed, reloading my save, and clearing my cache – but nothing fixes the issue(s). It's very frustrating, since the auto-saves are all replaced with me exiting the house and re-entering (and if I step outside, the entire world is rumbling like the inside of the house).

Bethesda: is there any way I can send you my save file so you can override this? I imagine it would be fairly easy – just take my save, open up the dev console, and force the quest to continue. Or something like that: I'm sure you can work your magic and make something happen!

This is the only gamebreaking bug I've encountered so far, though, so overall I'm pretty impressed with Skyrim

"House Of Horrors Quest" Getting locked inside the house and now I cant play my high level toon at all because because hes locked in and I have no previous saves that are normal with out theses quest effects.

Blindsighted thieves guild! karliah is stuck under water! also horse died and never came back wtf!!!!

Season unending and joining the stormcloaks after the wraith has been killed are canceling each other out preventing me form completeing either of them resulting in the inability to progress further in the games main storyline i hope you guys fix this soon if at all

I did this quest but skiped getting help, all u have to do, is break into that house where the blood was and search it. then ull get a few more options. let me kno if this is any help to you.
