Riften and Dragon bugsgltiches

Ok so far I've had a couple glitches. It all started with the intro cutscene when in the cart there were some pathing issues and i ended up being flipped around like mad but all the dialog happened no problem so I continued on. Now I have a series of odd occurences.

1. Found Leifnarr's body while doing companion quest, then found his family, no dialogue option to tell them about his death.
2. In Riften I was offered to become a thane, bought the house, checked it out, tells me to talk to the Jarl, no dialogue option to become thane.
3. Some dragons when I kill them provide me with their souls whilst other don't. I usually save before a dragon fight and have tried reloading, and still won't receive the soul for said particular dragons.
4. For the companion quests after having killed Kodlak's beast form I talked to Aela the Huntress, got an animal extermination quest from her, then talked to Farkas and asked him for work, he told me to finish Aela's first. I did her quest, went to talk to Farkas, no dialogue option for work so I did another one of Aela's. Went bak to Farkas still nothing so I then proceeded to ask Vilkas for work. He gave me a quest, completed that then when I talked to him again he gave me his purity quest. He wouldn't follow me once we left Jorrvask then when I fast travelled to the tomb not only was Vilkas not there but the quest had autocompleted itself. (Can be avoided by talking to Vilkas, refusing his purity quest which then reopens quests from Farkas. Complete Farkas' purity then Vilkas' should be fine as well. I reoaded to a previous save of an hour before I had accepted Vilkas' purity originally and it worked.)
5. None of my weapon racks or display cases work. Whenever I go to add a weapon to it, the weapon drops to the floor a couple meters from it.
6. I can't use carriages while overburdened. Not sure if this one is actually a glitch but it makes no sense. I understand that I can't fast travel but if I weigh a little more than is considered my average a carriage can no longer transport me to other cities? I'm not the one putting forth the effort, the horse is.
7. I have the quest A Cornered Rat but have yet to do anyting towards it though I know that when I escort Esbern out of the ratway Shavari is supposed to attack me. Went and did some other quests finally fast travelled back to Riften to do the thieves guild quest and Shivari is randomly lying dead in the middle of the market. No clue as to what happened.
8. So turns out if you complete the Stormcloak questline Captain Aldis no longer spawns making all of his quests impossible to complete.
9. I'd gotten to Solitude to see an execution, looted the body and got an amulet of Talos (quest item). Finally found the little girl I needed to talk to in Solitude, she gave me the quest to go talk to Greta about going to the temple, talked to Greta she told me to bring her the amulet I used the dialog option "Actually I have it right here." She replied by saying o it must be a sign here's something for your time. I didn't receive a reward and the quest is still in my unfinished section. No more possible dialog options from her. She didn't even take the amulet of talos from me though it's now considered a regular item so I can sell it.
10. Found a copy of Cleansing of the Fane. Was considered a quest item, finally got the quest to retrieve it at the College of Winterhold but it doesn't regiter me having the book and the arrows pointed me back to the dungeon where I originally found it but no other copy has spawned.
11. Did a dragon bounty quest for the Jarl of Dawnstar. Not sure if it's relevant but I finished the quest Waking Nigtmare, then went and killed the dragon at shearpoint (where I once again was not given the dragon soul), then was told to return to the Jarl. Talked to him, he made a comment about the nightmares being done, I chose the dialog option of telling him I killed the dragon, not sure if I got a reward or not but the dialog option is gone but it's still showing up in my quest log and won't let me click it to track.

Any word on if any of these problems are going to be fixed?
