Not as annoying as a character cutting someone's throat with the wrong side of a dagger.

I looked online and might of found a possible fix, It says that it happens only if you have a sheild equiped. I haven't tried it yet, but can anyone confirm if this is true?

Too funny in my case sometimes when i go to the forge right on top of the companions building (forgot the name) if he is using it and you get there and press a to use it he leaves but in the animation im right inside the forge jajajaja its funny it looks im forging myself...

Funny and worth a try. :wink:

Later: somebody is probably making fun of us; the "fix" doesn't work. It was predictable; I don't even understand why I tried...

This happens always on my orc character and sometimes on my khajiit.

Yep...on occasion my character picks up the glowing hot piece of metal by the "Owie" end and pounds like hell at the dark, cold end.

Funny and awkward but no fire damage yet!

I had the same issue before, it only happened when i used a forge in Whiterun. I tried cleared my xbox's memory cache, deleting the game, and then re-installed the game to my hard drive and its never happened to me again.

It happens to me all the time no matter where I go, so do i need to clear the cache and reinstall?

I have the same thing in 3 of my 4 playthroughs. Made me lol the first time I saw it. Going to try that workaround.

On the PS3, I had this happen, not to my character, but an NPC. I think it was the guy in Riften. I remember thinking "Ooooh ... I ain't gonna mess with this guy."

I am glad to hear that it works, I guess since your wearing a sheild it doesn't let the full animation to perform. I think my job is done lol
