Had my first quest stopping bug last night and thought I'd post it here since I haven't seen it elsewhere in hopes it gets fixed as it got me to stop playing . I tried going back to an earlier save and I still get this issue when I accept this quest.

I completed the Hired Muscle quest in Riften from Farkas. Vikas gives me the Rescue Mission quest to save a woman from Markarth who has been captured in Morvunskar. I've already done the Sanguine quest and after that went back to Morvunskar randomly and killed the jailor (I'm betting this is where my problem comes from). Anyways, a few minutes after this quest is assigned to me it appears in the 'completed' column but for all other purposes it looks like I haven't done it. The companions won't give me new quests (tell me I already have one). When I go to Morvunskar, the woman I'm supposed to rescue isn't there. Instead, she's still at the inn in Markarth. I can't get the quest to start properly and thus I can't do the purity quests for the companions. Got me to stop playing the game.

The only other bugs I've encountered are
1, The skald bounty bug not clearing (seems pretty common)
2, If I got any sort of bounty in Markarth or the Reach, even if I paid it off or the witnesses were killed (I got one when some Thalmor attacked me when they didn't like how I was talking), the Thalmor in the keep will attack me, causing everyone else to attack me. I ended up killing the Thalmor and that settled everyone down to where they act normally though I fear that will come back to haunt me on a dark brotherhood quest since I know that Thalmor character shows up again to play a minor role at a dinner party.

Push the right joystick in , and zoom in or out with the left one .

everyone please let us start categorizing these and making bethesda aware of it, please update this new thread:

Thank you very much, it worked.

Just had another bug present itself. Fast traveling from Bleakcoast cave by Winterhold, riding Shadowmere, to the College of Winterhold. I ended up above the entire college at the normal arrival spot. First time I missed the bridge as I fell and Shadowmere died, second time I hit the bridge and Shadowmere died. I've noticed a couple of minor glitches here and there with the fast travel, but this one has been the most significant.

Yep, got that with all the Bards instrument quests.

id like to report a bug regarding the quest Silenced Tongues

basically to activate the quest you need to read some notes right after you enter the dungeon, if you happen to miss it and continue to explore the dungeon, even if you read the book later the quest wont activate

this will make the door in the dungeon impossible to open even if you have the cerimonial weapons,causing you to miss out some good weapons and a shout (Aura Whisper)

also this is a quote from the elderscrolls wikia bug section in the "silenced tongues" page http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Silenced_Tongues

from what ive seen not many people experinced this but its a major bug and it DOES happen

I have experienced the crashing every now and again one that concerned me was my ps3 froze right after putting in the skyrim disc and it went to auto run froze right up. Later on this same night after hard booting the ps3 was playing everything seemed normal then suddenly the screen went black and nextt I knew I was back in the XMB just like that no reloading to the xmb as if the ps3 restarted just a simple boom look im back in the xmb. Both the crash before start up and instant exit to xmb worries me and have decided to just play something else for awhile just to make sure it is skyrim and not my ps3.

this is becomign more common.. i've had this happen once during a fast travel.. but only once.

the fade to black then xmb? if so then im glad its more than likely skyrim related.

yes that problem, no other game i've had has gone to XMB.

"gods be praised" lol good to know it's not my ps3 all that is left is to patiently wait for the new patch and then wait a day or two to see how well it works before getting it.

This is one with Duping Items.

I found this by killing the Forsworn Briar-heart near Sundered Towers. He is usually sitting in a Throne. Kill him. Take all his loot including his Fury Sword.
Then fast travel to another area. Then Fast travel back. He will have respawned a new Sword and some gold.

Interesting I actually thought the pickpocket the briar heart insta kill was a glitch until I read a book in game. I also noticed if you pick pocket someone and put in better arrows into their inventory they will shoot those instead and will shoot an unlimited ammount you can just gather from the target. However once it did count it as stealing and everyone came running and ganked me.

Keep this thread going guys, Gstaff says Bethesda are taking notes

Finished "Book of Love" but Agent of Mara does not show up as one of my active effects. It's not a once-a-day power is it?

After 17 hours of gameplay, low-res textures are popping up all over the place. Puddles, snow and rocks are the most noticeable and so far, it's only been in places that I've just discovered.

I find this most noticable around Morthal... the framerate in the surrounding swamp is awful. Like you say, not game-shatteringly bad, but still painful.

SPOILERS (if you've been living under a rock I guess)

I'm not sure how many hours in I am, but I'm a level 68 and I've completed all of the faction quests (I'm the Harbinger, Archmage, Thieves Guildmaster and the Listener) and I've only just started the main quest (met the greybeards). The problems I have thus far (ranked in order of severity and frustration) -

1) Lag/Crash - If I play for more than a couple of hours and I go to a city (Riften, Whiterun, Markarth and Solitude being the worst) I'll lag to the point where I'll crash. The music stops, the screen freezes and my HDD light will burn solid yellow/orange. This happens a lot after smithing too. I'll upgrade gear and then set off and immediately crash, especially in Markarth and Whiterun (at the first smith, not the skyforge). I've turned off auto-save as entering cities would immediately cause a freeze beforehand.

2) No Totem Quests from Aela. Only extermination quests.

3) Bookshelves are broken now, trapping some books on the shelves (Ogham Infinium among them)

4) Same basic home issues that others have (things not where I left them, mannequin bug, etc)

5) Agent of Mara not among my active effects after "Book of Love".

6) Can't marry certain marry-iable people like Muri (Breton who's ex-dude you kill in the DB quests). She just keeps saying "Thank you for helping me with my... ... ... problem" and walks on. Maybe I offended her somehow. Could be.

Between Morthal and Solitude is really, really bad.

If that's the case, can the Mods sticky this thread so we don't have to search through all the new threads for bugs when they could just post them in here? I'm sure the forum file size is growing faster than my save games...

Or not, that's cool too...



File size is at 13MB as of now. Had another minor bug this morning in Whiterun. I went to Battlemaidens to sell more gear and she was sitting outside where the grindstone should be, sharpening a weapon. No grindstone, no sound effect. I didn't attempt to interact with the ghost grindstone as I had to go to work, so I can't report on that one further.

Holy WTF? I had Shadowmere when I fast traveled to Whiterun. Fast traveled to Riften, then back to Whiterun to check the grindstone issue (which was all good this time), back to Riften to sell some gear, then to Markarth to infiltrate and complete a few quests and when I fast traveled out, no Shadowmere! I tried reloading previous saves, more fast travel, looking for an invisible steed and gone. I'm going to have to load a 5 hour old save to get my pimp horse back...

IN FRENCH VERSION : Trophy "Master Criminal" is bugged -> impossible to have the platinium (all Bounty in Hjaalmarch (Morthal) is Added on the bounty of Haafingar (Solitude))


PS : also true for XBOX360 & PC version

A bug in the companions quest line where you can't proceed after Blood Honor. Everyone is mourning the dead but Vilkas isn't giving me the quest. Please fix
