The first issue I ran into was at the blacksmith's forge, the one you get to after escaping from the keep. I went to check out forge after having dinner and talking about needing help. While I was navigating the menu of what could be done at the forge I noticed my character (a Nord) was doing some forging on his own, only the molten rod of metal he was holding wasn't being held right. It was 90 degree off horizontally, meaning the molten end of the rod was at his elbow instead of on the anvil.

The second issue I had was while trying to track down the golden claw that was stolen from the general store in the same town. I was in bellow falls(i think, it's the dungeon on top of a large snowy mountain) and had just defeated two bandits and traveled a little deeper in to the place and came upon a third bandit. He went to pull a lever and was then promptly killed by arrows. I cautiously entered the room and noticed the pillars on the right. I new from videos online that there was some pattern to the pillars so I tried to turn them by pressing a, only nothing happened. There was no sound and the pillars didn't turn, I had to revert back to an auto save at the entrance to the place. This time when I saw the third bandit I swiftly killed him(In the strategy guide it said to kill him) and then was able to turn the pillars and proceed on.
