What to expect?

Hey everyone. This game is awesome, i'v loved my time with it but I'v been experience a lot of bugs actually.
I'm not one to make a hate thread as I love skyrim but I'v encountered so many bugs it actually deters me from wanting to play.

There are two quest objectives that I can't complete driving me crazy. The first one is winning a brawl with a man and yet when I talk to him no option comes up to brawl him. So its just stuck in my journal for forever. The second one was to clear out a mine full of spiders. But the quest objective itself won't complete no matter how many I kill and the mine doesn't appear on the map.

I'v encountered an invisible dragon that didn't give anything upon death. I can, apparently, breath underwater for forever as I never run out of breath (I'm khajiit btw, Idk if argonians in this can breath underwater again).

I completed a quest is makarth (don't think thats a spoiler) to investigate a rebellion of sorts. After the quest was done three guards stay inside a temple I was asked to go to that are bugged. They go through the same conversation tree they did when the quest was active except no matter what dialogue choice you choose they attack you and you are given a bounty.

Crashes constantly.
Sometimes while enchanting I will randomly get bugged where the keyboard keys will become unresponsive and only the mouse will work.



Now I know these are small and, trust me, i'v tried to just shrug them off. But it completely ruins the immersion and the fun of the game for me when I have to constantly wonder if there is going to be another bug or glitch around every corner. The game has such great immersion and I want to get lost in it and as soon as I start to I get jolted back to reality when I'm stuck in the enchanting screen or being attacked by glitched out guards.

So my question is, is it reliable to just shelf it for a few weeks and expect the bugs to be fixed? I know when I played oblivion it was well after its actual release and I had next to zero problems in the entire game. Then again I also played fallout near release and I didn't see as many bugs then but that could just be luck.

So I guess i'm curious as to weather its realistic to expect these to be addressed soon?. Otherwise I'll be a very sad person.

also the blizzard scrolls now seem to hurt me and my companions whenever they are cast. They didn't before but now they do apparently. Is there somewhere I can go to report these bugs and are there fixes for any of them yet?

erp. have not hit those bugs. I would document them well, using your write up above, and then send them to bethesda support.

with the brawler, you may have talked to him with the option to brawl and chosen something else first and lost brawl forever. I did that with uthgard. I did not want to brawl as first option, but then when I decided i did, the brawl was no longer an option.

You can't find the spider cave or it just has no marker? as for the not completing, either it is a bug...or there is still one spider, perhaps a glitched one, left.

sorry I can't be more help.

Its alright my friend. The game is fantastic otherwise. This is still my favorite game of all time even with the bugs. It would just be so epic if they were fixed. So far none of them are game breaking in any way. Just sad. Especially the blizzard scroll one :(. I don't know if i'll be able to use the scrolls for the rest of the game but it appears only the blizzard scroll is affected? I don't know if firestorm or any other on target spells are now messed up either yet.

I did that exact thing with the brawler. Had the option but didn't have enough money to bet at first. Came back later and it was gone forever. So i killed him :flame:

With the cave it just has no marker. It's physically there but if you tried to track yourself to it via the map it simply wouldn't direct you anywhere. I'll go back every so often and continue looking to see if I missed one. I don't know that I did though. Not a big deal as its just a little miscellanious objective so its really only for a bit of money.

The guard thing in the talos temple also isn't a huge deal since no other quests direct you into that temple ever again so it more then likely slipped through the cracks since its rare that someone will ever want or need to enter the talos temple again in makarth specifically. Regardless I just killed them and took the jail time since I didn't want to have them just standing in the temple bugged and blocking me from entrance for the rest of the game.

The blizzard scroll thing really made me :sad: though. It was one of my favorite scrolls to cast when in a pinch and now it seems they are all useless since they now target me and my companion as well. I wonder if there is a console command to at least temporarily fix this.

So i'm assuming no one yet knows of a fix for the blizzard scroll? I've googled it and searched the forums but there is very little about it. If someone could even tell me a console command to at least set it back to normal so I can actually use the blizzard scrolls I bought without killing myself in the process.
