The bugs that I have encountered since the start (marked with S) and those Ive encountered in dawnguard (D)

D: It is possible to contract diseases while being a werewolf. Bone break and brain rot, appear under active effects, and under the skills option lower stats.

D: Greybeards only tell you about the arcwind location, even if you have the shout from there already, and will not complete if it is your first time there.

S: Cant give Arcana Restored to Urag go-shub

D: When you find the unknown book and take it to ^, it does not remove the quest from your miscellaneous section upon completion.

S: In the uttering hills camp, you recieve a quest that tells you to kill the leader, however, that is Linwe, and i am told to kill his dead body, which doesn't work, therefore you are stuck with an uncomplete quest

S: Investigating the bards college, and visit the college of winterhold are uncompletable if the quest lines are finished/started when you obtain the visit/investigate quest.

D: Ask Aldis for information about angeline's daughter is bugged, and Aldis never appears, just a marker over a place of land in solitude.

S: D: I am still unable to purchase the house in windhelm due to the dark brotherhood conflict involving the shatter-shields, tova namely, so the murder in the graveyard never occurs and never starts the Blood on the ice quest. Also, having the strange amulet, pamphlets, Butcherer journal #1, #2, and the third unmarked one in Calixto's house do not progress, start, or allow the imprisonment of any characters.

S: Can't remove Gallus's encoded journal from your inventory after the questline is completed

D: *Possible Spoiler* After the dawnguard main quest line, you are able to give the 3 elder scrolls to the moth priest, however, the dragon scroll remains in your inventory and is unable to be given to him or Urag go-shub.

D: Finn's lute remains in inventory upon completion.

D: Soul trapping dead bodies raises conjuration

S: Ebony blade is based on 1 handed skill even though it is a 2h weapon

S: I was unable to complete the quest to get the Headsmans axe due to the person in question already being dead and therefore had to kill the quest giver to get the axe.

D: Serana's ice spike spell affects the movement and flight speed of dragons.



I think that is the extent of my bugs/glitches. If you have any, go ahead and post them here, or have a workaround to mine, feel free to post a solution.

totems of hircine quest bugged

*possible spoilers ahead* Just found another bug, not sure how this happened, or if it is repeatable or not, but when i made the Aetherial Crown, it did not apply the stone effects, and did not apply them when i would go to other stones, even while wearing it the entire time, or placing it on later. I reloaded my save, and it worked just fine. Maybe just an anomaly but figured i would post it anyway.

Its wierd... it did that to me too but I figured it out.

It will not work the first time you put it on. Put it on and off twice, then take the SECOND stone you want (the one that you wont have when the crown is off) then get the stone you want all the time last.

When buying the alchemy lab from the steward for breezehome the house won't upgrade and the option will still be there. I never had this glitch until I started the Dawnguard DLC.

Marked For Death appears in the shout list twice, once as Marked for Death and a second time as Drain Vitality.

The Marked for Death seems to use the same words as Frost Breath, and the animation for it is turned blue.

Drain Vitality is stuck at a 12 second cooldown for all words, and no words are used.

When trying to buy an Armored Troll or bring one of the dogs I am told I already have an animal companion even though I do not.

That would be a Skyrim bug, it's not caused by Dawnguard. Most likely caused by you having used a Stray Dog as a companion previously, Vigilance, or even a bug from Clavicus Vile's quest.

i tried to load a save i had in the forgotten vale i was right beside a special someone… spoiler and when i hit continue and yes i froze and the unreadable disc poped up and so i cleaned it and put it back in this time using the load game option and i froze right there. later found out it was the save so i created a new game and then loaded a save just b4 the 1 that was bugged and it was fine for about an hour, then i froze… again. so i tried to load one of my auto saves cuz at the time all my manual saves just became corrupted instantly so i was going only off auto saves and again the unreadable disc poped up so i tried loading my other 2 auto saves and none worked so i started loading other saves dealing with the same char and none are working. i don’t care if i got to go back 5 hrs cuz 5 is better then having to create a new char and redo everything over again another 110 hrs but i don’t want to keep loading different saves if that is what is corrupting them. then i remembered i had downloaded my account cuz when i first got on to my Xbox it was not signing me into Xbox live but i was connected when i tested the connection. so i thought maybe i had to re-download the dlc. and that did not work either. so any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Has anyone else besides the OP experienced this? As the OP states, I did not have this problem before Dawnguard was installed.

I wonder, will downloading the DLC again help with this?

s: After contracting vampirism and entering the first stage of it as a Nord only my left eye changes color. Becoming a vampire lord does not change this effect.

Also vampires attacking you in Vampire Lord form.

I'm starting to think that this Beta didn't fixed anything at all, the tester may have never reported the bugs.

If you join the vampires, you can't kill Isran, yet you can kill everyone else; surely you should be able to wipe out the entire Dawnguard if you're their enemy, right?
