I have been playing Skyrim for a while now and have pretty much completed the game, and a brillaint game it is. However I noticed
a few glitches in the game, some harmless even funny, and some not so much cutting game content and access to achievments. I was
hopefull that bethseda would address these fairly quickly with their patching, but that doesn't seem the case as the latest patch
v1.2 if anything created the bugs it claimed to fix for me personnaly and completely failed to address any of the in my opinion
more serious flaws, aka quest related, player home related. Anyhow below is a list of the bugs I can remember encoutering there is possibly
more.
I wanted to see how many peoplw have expierenced the same, and if anybody (exclusively 360 owner's) have found workarounds, that dont
include reloading a save. Also i wanted to make bethseda aware the only way I know how.
- The quest hard answers is in my quest list despite completeing it allready (there is a duplicate in the complete section)
after revisting calcemo's tower, due to another bug.
- the bug which above refers to is a miscellaneous quest; Go to Aicantar in Markath and pick up the item, Aicanter stays in
Calcemo's tower and is hostile when I enter and try talking to him.
- The quest waking nightmare is bugged, as Erandur dissapears further into the temple withput removing the stone/statue. This
also stops me getting the daedric artifact and in turn the achievment.
- The quest for Sanguine will not complete, I do not black out after the 3rd drink, another daedric artifact I cannot get.
- The infamous backwards flying dragon, post-patch and not before (may be coinsedence), also post-patch all dragons seem to ignore
me half the time. Dragonrend will not bring backward flying dragon down, nor will killing with spells/arrows.
- Also this perhaps is purely coincidental but i installed the game post-patch as i heard there were frame rate issues, however the still occured for me
after installing. but not if I play from disc.
- The quest Blood on the ice is majorly bugged, not allowing me to complete the get assistance from Jorlief or examine crime scene
objectives. The blood trail is non-existance as is the NPC Viola, she has completely vanished. additionally this means I cannot decorate Hjierm,
fortuantly I bought it before the problems began, but it looks crap unfurnished and looks to have potential.
- perhaps related to above I cannot complete the miscelaneous quest of sneaking back Viola's ring, I put the ring in the correct draw but nothing happens.
- Repaairing the Phial, I cannot complete because despite having numerous Briar hearts and going to the briar highlighted in the quest the objective will not
complete.
- I dont get the option to cure my lythancorpy despite completing companions questline, they just give me endless quests when
talking to them, like the thieves guild and dark brotherhood after completing their quests.
- The Ancient Nord armor is under the Daedric armor menu when using the skyforge, the weapons are where they should be in Draug.
- Misc quest, kill leader of Utterng Camp, arrow leads me to empty bedroom in cave, no NPC.
- Misc quest, collect bounty of Skald, wont let me select in objective. Skald offers no related conversation.
- Misc quest, Report Leifnarr'd death to his family, no arrow (I know who his family is but no related dialouge available)
- Misc quest, find Pantea's flute will not complete allthough it is stuck in my inventory. Bards offer no dialouge relating to it.
- Items that I cannot remove from inventory, despite completing related quests are as follows:
- Finn's lute
- Pantea's flute
- Rjorn's drum
- Gallus's encoded journal
- Sinderion's field journal
- Couldn't remove briar heart for a large portion of game, however that just seemed to fix itself.
- Random glitch, the owner of the stables outside Whiterun, has tripled and one of his copies is stuck halfway in the ground.
