I have now read so many quest killing glitches/bugs in regards to Skyrim for the 360 that it makes me shake my head in shear disbelief and that is just the main quest problems. Read another thread somewhere on this forum and somebody said he does not know why so many people are on this forum complaining about the game when we should be actually playing the game, doh, if we could play the game without hitting serious glitches or bugs especially quest killing ones then obviously more of us would be actually playing the game and enjoying what experience we was looking forward too upon game release....

For me completing the Companions quest *Blood Honor* totally killed the quest line upon returning to Whiterun, Aela the hunteress simply stands there at the top of the main steps swaying side to side with sword drawn saying "These two won't cause a problem anymore" while looking at two dead Silverhand bodies lying on the floor, another Companion dude stood outside near her repeatedly saying something about being attacked which he says over and over again I can't remember at this moment in time exactly what but that is not the problem I merely am setting the scene, its the part where Vilkas either walks around the main hall in Jorrvaskr or does his previous walks inside Jorrvaskr or just outside where the benches are where the Companions eat with no new dialogue available in either of those locations opening up the next part of the quest. In the official guide it says and I quote "Vilkas wishes to immediately depart for the Silver Hand stronghold of Driftshade Refuge and accompanies you as a Shield-Brother.... oh how I wish he would and unlock the next quest line *Purity Of Revenge*. I gained up to level 19 last Saturday and spent the rest of the day also further days looking up bugs on the game to at least give me some kind of indication of what to expect in the future, ok I am honest that my mistake was not having gamesaves far enough back to open up the option of loading up a previous game save that may have fixed this problem, in all honesty while playing both Morrowind and Oblivion I have not needed to go backwards and the point of playing RPG's is to move forward on the path of progression not backwards.

Other bugs include - placing notes in a bookcase in the house in Whiterun, come to read them at a later date and part or all text missing...

House decorating in Whiterun - after spending ages placing weapons or items on tables ect I go off to do another quest come back to the house and the place looks like it has been ransacked...

Cast a fireball spell at a dead dragon and watch it fly in the air land and start to shake... even had one dragon which I previously killed and reduced to a skellington that landed in the main street in Riiverwood, grow back its skin which i sadly could not re loot, that too was shaking...

Skyrim has sweet graphics and great sound but really what is the point if the game is not playable.. gutted is just about the only word i can think of right now. My son is supposed to be getting Skyrim this coming Christmas day, what kind of review can I honestly give him... have a list of game saves the length of his arm and keep his fingers crossed glitches/bugs don't reappear, I so do want to play Skyrim but worried of placing xx amount of hours only to hit another serious quest killing glitch/bug, if they were fixed before game release its obvious what I would be doing right now... am I complaining or do I have relavant points of view, I will let you decide

Dark Brotherhood questline where you hide in the night mothers coffin to eavesdrop on cicero. it keeps showing a black screen and wont continue on with the quest.

ALSO Discerning the Transmundane wont let me continue on in the sotryline either. im stuck where you give the guy the solved cube and he wont give me the next part.

I had that 1 time too.

Mjoll the lioness, will not give me her quest.
The jewler in Riften, cannot be interacted with, I can walk through him too. (My thief did receive his quest however.)
Many scrolls and books cannot be interacted with, preventing at random a great many quests.

To be honest I think it looks worse than it really is I think 7.2 million copies were sold so far? saw that number somewhere. So if you think about it, only a small fraction of players are having problems according to these forums. If that's not enough, the reason your seeing so many pages of reports in this one thread is because its so disorganised that there are so many replicate reports and again if that's not enough, a lot of the thread/forums are filled with discussions/ranting/trolling and everything else really. Another thing is soooo many people are exaggerating their problems. One quest breaking doesn't mean they have to start a new and it certainly doesn't make the whole game unplayable, it just means you can't complete that quest/questline. There is so much more to Skyrim than that one quest, so go do everything else while you're waiting on a fix!

Check my sig for a thread which is a little bit more.. organised than this one Would be brill if people could use it instead of this, I'd say its a tad more useful to the devs

Quest Boethiah's Calling is broken.

I had already cleared Knifepoint Ridge earlier in the game just wondering around. So when I go back into the mine as a part of the quest there is a wall in the way at the beginning of the mine. The first left you take in the mine is now blocked by I believe it was a iron deposit. I walked out of the mine, went back in and the iron deposit is gone but there is still a wall blocking that hallway.

Anyway, svcks. Please fix.

I'd post the name of the quest that's glitched on me, but it's not there. In the companions I finished the Proving Honor quest. After finishing it, I'm told to talk to Skjor. Since I'm such a rebel, I talk to Vilkas instead. He gives me a quest and I go and do my own thing. A few days later I decide to do that Vilkas quest, but it's not there. I go to talk to him, but he doesn't give me any details as to what to do and just tells me that he's already sent me on a job after I ask for work in a vain attempt progress the companions quest line. Halp!

Glitches that i've found so far:

Laid To Rest- When you enter Alva's Cellar the floor is glitched. You repeatedly fall into the ground until you walk to the middle of the room. (I was sneaking at the time.) After you do what you need to in that room, walk to the door & hit "A." It should be an easy exit although the area around the door is colored greenish-blue & there's a chance you could still fall.

Collecting a bounty from Skald in Downstar- He doesnt pay you & it stays in the Miscellaneous quest list. It gets annoying when you have multiples from him & you cant get rid of them.

Missing in Action- Im not sure if this is a glitch or not but I became a Legate in the Imperial Army & i still cant release Thorald Gray-Mane without blood shed even if i ask the General for help.

The College of Winterhold- When that dark elf leads you up to the entrance of the college, she stoped at what was supposed to be a long hallway but there was a wall there. I stared at the wall for about 10 seconds then decided to see if i could walk through it. What do you know! I can walk through walls!

Laid To Rest- If you sprint ahead of the 4 people who want to kill the Vamps, enter the cave first & kill every vampire; upon exiting the cave you'll see all 4 of those people with their weapons drawn standing outside. They wont go home. At this point if you ask Benor (he's loyal after you win a brawl) to follow you he'll always run back to the cave until you command him to wait in an exact location. I was lucky enough to have an autosave, I reloaded the game, talked to Thonnir & told him to wait outside before I went in. When I came out they were back in town.

Rolling Potatoes- Nothing major. Enter a room with no one inside (Like Thonnir's house in the middle of the day) and you might find a rolling potato on the floor. Happened to me 3 times already. LOL

im having trouble with the quest Alduin's bane even after i use dragon rend hes invincible i cant do any damage at all and he one hits me if he even looks at me im not sure if the second part is a glitch i wouldnt mind if i could do damage atleast

I had the same problem. Unfortunately the only solution was to restart the quest.

Just finished doing the two Wolf Queen quests, had already helped 5 people in Solitude and bought the house. All to become Thane for Solitude. Absolutely no problems. But I now have in my Misc quests, 'Help 5/5 people in Solitude.' or something along those lines. The quest is stuck in the log, and won't erase since completion.
Kinda similar to the problem you have if you collect the instruments for the Bard's College quests before you take on the quest. I picked up the Lute and had it for ages. The woman gave me the quest, I handed it straight in, she gave me the skill level-ups. Instrument is still in the inventory (common problem a lot of people are having) and the quest is still there to 'find the lute'.
These sort of things make my quest log look cluttered.

I have a glitch for the quest 'Blood's Honor', it doesn't let me start the following quest that continues after. Instead everyone is set to busy, and the other people are eating, instead of giving me my new quest...

Please fix this Bethesda

(Apologizes for the awkward english)
Another glitched quest .
Second part of the white flask for Quintus Navale in the alchemy shop (Windhelm).
I have to found three things (snow, mammoth dust and a heart). I have previously found some hearts, 4 in fact, two of them were considered as quest item since the fist part of the quest. The problem is that the quest don't recognized the item, even if i have 4 with me and even if i go where the quest leads to find another one, and there's no way to finish the quest.

I was doing the quest for the companions " hired Muscle" were you need to intimidate the farmer.I finished that and was told to return to farkas.However everytime i try and speak with him it says he is busy. I have tried leaving and coming back, loading to a previus save, waiting, and even punching him in the head but he just stands by the door and wont talk with me.

Having an issue with Nazir not giving me any quests as well. Which honestly, svcks. I'm having fun with the DB and now I can't seem to continue on. I hope they throw out a patch soon to fix all of this.

Retrieval of the Helm of Winterhold:

In Yngol Barrow, for me there wasn't Yngol's Shade at the end, only a powerful Draugr. Thus, the Helm was in the Chest, not on the Skeleton in the throne, and consequently the final door does not open, since it is triggered by taking the Helm from the Skeleton's head. There is a button in the room, but it's useless. The Quest can still be fulfilled, but the final room with a chest and a shortcut exit is not accessible.

In the Companion Quests I am retrieving the final Totem of Hircine with Aela and I went through the whole dungeon, got the totem, and i need to talk to Aela to continue the quest and to put it in the Underforge, except Aela is no where to be found and whenver i try to get another follower it says i already have one with me.

I started the quest "Joining the Stormcloacks" and never finished the quest and continued to do the main quest. Eventually when i got to the point in the main quest where you must get the imperials and the Stormcloacks to make peace, Ulfric will not talk to you and tells you to finish the "joining the StormCloak" quest and even if you do finish that quest you he still will not talk to you and you cannot continue doing the stormcloack quest or the main quest, making the main quest impossible.

In the "First Lessons" college of Winterhold quest, Tolfdir does nothing when I cast the ward spell at the end of the quest. Does anyone know how to fix this? I abandoned it awhile ago and moved on, so I can't just go back to an old save.

Forbidden Legends quest already, cleared Geirmund's hall before i got it, and when i went back for the item the boss has disappeared, cant find the item, and the marker is a random spot on the floor.

This might ave been touched on but I didn't want to read the thread so if it has it will only reiterate the problem.
Anyway, on the quest Shalidor's Insights I found the book `Shalidors Insights' and returned it to Urag-Gro-Shub in the College Aracaneum. He only responds with "Do you think Ancano knew all along what the eye was capable of?" The quest arrow is right there over his head, but I cannot get a dialogue menu to pull up, and the Quest menu still says `talk to Urag'. The `Find Shalidor's Writings' quest shows complete.

Please please please look into this and correct it as this is a very important quest.

This misc objective starts with the child Svari in Solitude. Go to Addvar's house to speak with Greta. She asks you to retrieve the Amulet of Talos from Roggvir's coffin, which means stealing it. But I got it during his execution and Greta does not send me to his coffin and the quest will not complete.

That's a video of what keeps happening every time i try to complete the quest. is it glitched? anything i can do? do i need to complete a specific quest first?

In the request "Repairing the Phial," I already had a Briar heart to give. But it wouldn't let me give it to him, drop it, or eat it. And when I do go to the briarheart pointed out as an objective and take his heart, it doesn't complete the objective, and now I have two irremovable briar hearts, and can't complete the quest. I don't have any saves prior to accepting the quest, so this is really annoying.

Also, I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but mauling people as a werewolf often clips them into the ground. Kind of annoying when you plan on eating them.

Came across a couple issues.

First, in No One Escapes Cidhna Mine I got past Borkul the Beast by killing everyone in the mine with a pickaxe and taking his key. A red x appeared over the quest objective "Get past Brokul the Beast" but I continued with the quest. Madanach was automatically aggroed so I killed him too and took his notes and left the dungeon. At this point, the quest is not marked complete, and Thonar Silver Blood is waiting for me outside, already aggrod. I go to kill him but when I do he falls down and gets back up. I also don't have my equipment so I go back into the mine to get it, killing all the guards.

This bug seems to be affecting the rest of my game, since I haven't had any other bugs before this. Now I'm seeing them left and right. I went to do A Night to Remember after this, and it told me to give Yolanda the wedding ring. I go to talk to her and all she has to say is something about caravans.

Then, and this is a complete SHOW STOPPER: I'm doing Elder Knowledge and THE ELDER SCROLL DOES NOT GET ADDED TO MY INVENTORY. It says it gets added, I get an achievement for completing the quest, I go to the throat of the world and the dragon says I have it, but it is NOT in my inventory, and this means I cannot finish the game!!! I have over 100 hours invested in this character, and I can't even finish the game with him. Absolutely astounded by this.
