there have been times where i was roaming around in Skyrim then all the sudeen my screen shakes, my controller vibrates, i hear a rumbling sound, but no dragons are near at all, none, no giants, no mammaths, not even a dragon, and this happens in the game,

so, are there earthquakes in Skyrim? if not then what keeps happening?

Never happened to me, and I don't think there are any earthquakes in Skyrim.

I have has something close to this but not the same thing. Most of the time when this happens I will hear or see a drogon when I cross over the next hill.

Have not had this happen and I do not think there is any earthquakes in this game.

Mammoths shake the ground from quite a distance away I have noticed.

well i looked everywhere and i couldnt find a dragon anywhere, i useally hear dragons even when they are far away, but i didnt hear any.

This here might be the OPs problem. I have noticed this as well.

no this does not happen.


you must be running close to mammoths. the only thing i could imagine causing this is the call from the greybeards. not sure though, because i don't play on console. no idea if they make the controller shake, too.

The only time I can think of when this happens is when the greybeards summon you to their temple. Thats a pretty big shake and rumble and stuff

true, but my controller vibrated, and it doesnt vibrate or shake like that when mammaths are around.

ive allready completed the main quest so it wasnt that.

Could be a bug, try another saved character and see if the vibrating stops.

Love your avatar by the way.

if this helps the camera and controller where shakeing for atleast 4 seconds before it stopped.

Giants and Mammoths can cause the effects the OP is talking about I think.

this has happened in multiple saves, and even on multiple consoles

lol

again, i checked everywhere near me and none where in sight.

That is odd how about a different character?

yes, even differnt characters.

hmmmm....how often do they occur?

Theres something odd going on in the Reach. Is this where it happens to you, OP?

Weird, I have not seen this anywhere3 as a bug but it has to be one for sure.

yes, it happened there a couple of times, another time it happened was by some ice glaciers.

I have had this exact same thing the OP is talking about happen to me. Most notably, on the road toward Markarth, there is a hilly road that when you crest or come down from the crest of the hill, the "earthquake" effect will trigger. I've had it happen on 10 save games, which are 10 separate characters of different playstyles. I didn't think much of it, and in each case, the characters were between 5-10, no dragons have spawned (the MQ part to have them spawn hadn't been completed, and they were too low level for the random spawns to occur) no mammoths and no giants were anywhere near the area in which I describe.

It's a very weird occurrence, and always happens to me without fail, even after deleting the Game Data file. So, InsaneAlphaBeta, you are not alone in this occurrence, at least you have one other person that has had this happen to them.

I'm on the PS3 btw.

its very rare.

this happened to me the other day, when I was at Azura's Shrine...But I realised later there was a dragon marked near there on the map..
