» Mon May 28, 2012 4:19 am Ok well first off I am in love with this game and I wish it was easier to find all the random quests around the world but I have been playing over 100 hours now (ya no life, oh well
) and to me it seems the longer I play the more bugs that seem to pop up. So I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of all the bugs I have encountered and see if anyone else is also having these problems, and if their are ways to fix them, if theirs any word that their going to be fixed, also I thought it might help the devs so they have one place to look instead of looking at a dozen different sites or hundreds of threads to find some of the more prominent bugs. So to that end do your best to describe your bugs in detail and if possible how to recreate them.I am no where near finished with the game but at the moment I cant continue because every quest I seem to find is broken. So ill go ahead and list what I found to be broken, please feel free to list any problems you are having because I was able to find ways around some smaller bugs.
1.Other than the first Bards College quest when you have to look for Olaf's verse all the Bards quest seem broken. People keep telling me to search for their instruments and I manage to find them but I cant return them. If I try I get the dialog to finish the quest but it never gets completed and the item is still in my inventory. This has happened for Finn's Lute, the Drum, and the flute I have in my inventory but I cant return it to anyone, theirs no dialog at all.
2. Their is a miscellaneous quest I have that simply says 'Return to Esbern.' If I go to him nothing happens. This happened before they said they couldn't help me anymore because of Paarthurnax.
3. In the Ragged Flagon Vekel sends you to gather a set of 4 journals. When you retrieve all of them and bring them to Vekel he says thanks and the quest completes but you get no reward and all 4 journals are still in your inventory.
4. Getting the Coral Dragon claw from Birna in Winterhold does not start a quest and going to Yngol's Barrow their is no Helm of Winterhold or Helm of Yngol.
5. The quest 'Blood on the Ice' in Windehelm about the serial killer will not start. I have been the Windelm meny times and even made sure to wait until 2am like some people suggested but the quest wount start. I even tried unlocking the door to Hjerim and taking the Journal and flyers, that didnt start it either.
6. The 10th Treasure map sometimes disappears when you go to the wrong place. It seems random for everyone, for me it disappeared if I ever try to enter Yngol's barrow with it, but I have seen it happen to other people when they enter a town a shop.
7. Some items disappear when dropped. If you drop then they will simply disappear, you will not actually drop anything they will just vanish from your inventory. I even tried to noclip threw the floor to make sure they simply didnt fall threw it. But they didnt, they wount even appear infront of you when you initially drop it, they will just vanish.
8. The Sanguine Rose does not work. I received it from Sanguine (btw the quest to get it was awesome!) but it just would not work, no matter were I point it will not summon anything. It uses charges but nothing happens.
9. Their appears to be fake dragons? The first time I encountered one was very early on, It was my first time exploring the area near Solitude and I got attacked by two dragons, one was real and deadly but the other I hit it once with a Lightingbolt spell and it vanished. It wasnt vaporized, I dont have the trait and their was no ash pile, it was gone, and also from only one shot when I was a level 10. It happened again recently, this time the dragon had more than 1HP but did little to no damage and when I killed it with an Ebony bow it vanished again. it didnt fall threw the map either, just disappeared.
10. Playing for a long period of time seems to break things. After about an hour or two of having the game on, textures start to go missing and everything turns purple, purple armor, decorations, purple Kajiit tails, even a Purple Alduin (that looked funny). Also the game seems to crash more often when playing for over an hour. This bug might have been fixed in the recent 4gb update but I havnt been able to play long enough to test it yet.
So this is all I can remember off the top of my head, if anyone knows how to fix any of these it would be much appreciated. And incase Bethesda does actually see this: I love Skyrim but please fix the bugs quickly and give me DLC already!!!
