I love Skyrim, I think it is a great game and please do not come in here and think this is a bashing forum. Here I just wanna hear the most obscure ridiculous things that bug you. Let out the inner OCD!! No bugs, no glitches...most of us know about those.

It annoys the bejesus out of me that the roads are so hard to see on the map view. There are too many impassable mountains between locations that I have run into and had to run completely around. It svcks to have to coordinate between the map from the game box and the map on the game to figure out where the nearest road is and if it will take me where I need to go.

If you're on PC, there's a great mod that adds roads to the in-game map. This really should have been in there by default. When I first tried to go to High Hrothgar, it was a huge pain because I approached it from the wrong side of the mountain. If you look at the default map, it looks like maybe you can approach it from many different directions.

Most of my other complaints are the usual interface quirks, like the fact that you can't assign quick switch buttons 1-8 for both hands... like if you wanted to dual wield lightning you'd have to press a number twice, and then if you want to switch to weapon and shield you have to press two other numbers, one for each hand. It's worse if you use the controller cause you have even fewer slots, although you can press a single direction and it'll know to switch to weapon and shield for example. Anyway, it's inconsistent with keyboard, and way worse cause you only have two slots! I switched to keyboard/mouse for this sole reason, and eight slots is still too few IMO. There are of course mods that fix this, but once again, if you're on console you're SOL. I kind of like the combat "feel" of using the controller better, even though I played Oblivion and the Fallout games with keyboard/mouse.

The quick switch menu is nice, but the sorting is terrible. I wish we could sort this list manually.

Riding a horse while having a companion is just stupid! Your guy just runs after you? The whole horse thing was just an afterthought, you could tell. So many things missing. I know the game is huge and there are finite development resources, but they probably should have taken it out and made it a more complete DLC addition later.

Ok, this isn't a real complaint, but it kind of is also! There are just TOO MANY LITTLE QUESTS sometimes, and a lot of the lesser ones are just variations on 'go clear out a cave' or fedex quests, and for some reason, I've been trained by past games to always accept them. It's hard to complain about having so much content, but I find myself not wanting to talk to people in towns sometimes for fear of getting another quest in my journal! It really brings out the OCD, having this huge to-do list.

I could go on, but actually I love this game and I could list a million things that I think are great, too. In fact, when you have such attention to detail and do so many things right, it just makes the flaws stand out even more.

Everywhere.

Same here with the roads - took ages to figure out a way up the mountain. Ended up scaling the mountain first. Then came down the way I was supposed to go up. Only got that roads mod a while ago - really recommend it.

the AI in terms of corpses and sneaking.

*Shoot a guy in the face*
*He survives*
*Looks for me a few seconds*
"MUST A BEEN THE WIND AGAIN."

Another thing about the roads that bugs me is how clear they are. With so little traffic, I'd expect them to be all overgrown, but there they are, fresh and clean, and acting almost like a signal directing the character to the next thrilling adventure.

I wish Bethesda would have included a Civil Engineering skill tree. There could've been a resurfacing perk that would allow you to lay down rebar and concrete to fix those bumpy roads.

Hopefully they patch that soon because I am on console. But I agree about the quests. Every time I hit the pause button I sigh hopelessly. My misc quests list is insanely long. I am only barely past the Horn of Jurrgen Windcaller main quest line and I am a level 37. I did the civil war and the companions quests, but they arent that much. Everything else has been random adventuring and misc quests.

Horse speed is another thing that just rubs me wrong. Why take a horse in this game? Their sprint speed is nothing to brag about. And if you get attacked you just have the annoyance of having to get off your slow horse BEFORE you can draw any weapons. Meanwhile arrows are raining into my chest because I haven't got my sheild out yet. At least in Oblivion the horses were FASTER than running.

LMAO. I was gonna put something on this post about that darn wind blowing so hard that it blew an arrow out of a quiver and through my face!! Cause that's what happens.

I think the horses are plenty fast. They're not Kentucky Derby race horses, but they run about the same speed any average horse can. And yes, I hope Bethesda gives someway to dismount faster in combat situations or at least allow combat on horseback. That'd be boss.

I'm bugged by horses and I was very disappointed by the main quest. Hoped for an epic battle and a longer main quest but alas

I get annoyed when I get stuck in-between rocks

THIS

And that..

Fourth that.

Or when i talk to a merchant he feels inclined to make circles behind his counter then continue to wipe his counter.

but of course if i can actually play the game on the playstation(lag), i could find out more funny bugs....

ANOTHER.

*Kill a guard silently, hear door open*
*Run to a corner*
*3 guards stroll up*
"OH, WHAT A WASTE." "WHAT HAPPENED?"
*Me chillin in corner, not suspicious at all*
*Wondering why none of them are going to look for the person that murdered a guard.*
*Pelt one with an arrow to TRY to instigate something*
"WHAT WAS THAT?"
*Turns around, sword out, other two still picking septims from dead guys pocket*
*3rd guy sheathes sword, shrugs and leaves*
"Worst. Guards. Ever."

Or how about when a bandit kills you, then immediately addresses your corpse with, "Can I help you?"

actually the horses in oblivion were way slower than my character i never rode horses in tes4 because of that

Enemies seem to have no idea how the battle is progressing. I've knocked half their health off and they've barely touched me and they ask "Is that the best you can do?" One more hit and they start begging me for mercy.

Or when a mage kills you and complains about people leaving their trash around haha

Everywhere I go, thaqt Darn horse goes...

Really hmmm. I know they had different speeds because the black and white were the fastest. They were not draft horses tho. The horses in skyrim are draft horses and are not built for speed. I would have liked to see more options other than slow. It seems to me that the horses in skyrim sprint no faster than i can. There is no reason to use a horse in skyrim is the point i am making. They are just as fast as people on foot and they are horrible in combat situations. A true waste of 1000 septims

Off the wall thing that bugs me the most is storage organization, but I'm pretty bad about that irl so... wutevs. Getting 'all' on accident after spending 20 minutes organizing all my loot makes me want to throw my TV out the window, good thing I have booze.

I also wish the Library at the College of Winterhold was more of an actual library, but it is neat to pick up a good book and take a few minutes to read it during some massive dungeon dive.

Gremlins in my house that like to throw stuff off my tables and across the floor, it's gotten to the point where I just pick up most of it and stuff it all in a dresser drawer. And along those lines, chests and dressers don't sort stuff like corpses do.

Horses attacking everything. I have to quicksave every time I dismount in case my horse decides to run off in a random direction and get killed.
