I've got this weird bug when playing Skyrim where if I went to a Blacksmith's Forge and activated the Anvil, metal would appear in my characters hand before he picked it up out of the fire, has anyone else encountered this? Lol.

Are you running any mods with/without the 1.4 beta patch, by chance?

I'm running no mods at all and I never have with Skyrim so I'm all Vanilla & No INI tweaks. Also I'm running the 1.4 BETA but this has been happening long before that.

Well, that is odd. I don't know what else it could be, my apologies for not knowing a solution. Hope you don't run into any bigger problems

I have the second image glitch. I've always had it, before any patch and before I added any mod.

No worries was just wondering if anyone else had this bug, only problem I'd had so far so I'm cool with it

EDIT: Interesting so I'm not the only person having the glitch.

My chars have all held the bar by the red-hot end and smithed the cold end.
No mods and my only INI tweaks are for FOV. Patched to 1.3.10.
Doesn't ruin the game but looks terrible.

I get that bug occasionally too, but if I exit the forge and unsheathe/sheathe a weapon it fixes it.
