First off, my Mace of Molag-Bal is now gone and seemingly forever. At first I had hung it on the top plaque in the enchanting room in Vlindrel Hall, but it looked stupid there so when I went to take it back, it had a steal Mace of Molag-Bal tag instead of take. Toke it and what do you know, I just stole my own mace from my own house. Although when I dropped it in front of gaurds and picked it up they did not arrest me for stealing, even though it has a stolen tag now. So since it looked crappy on the weapon plaque I decided to hang it on one of the weapon racks beside the enchanting table. Left the house, adventured some, came back and my mace is gone! I can't even interact with the weapon rack where it was, it's glitched now.

Second, my College of Winterhold questline was cut short before it even started and is now glitched where I can't complete it at all. Tolfdir is waiting for me to put up a ward spell but even if I sit there for 5 minutes with a ward up he never throws that firebolt.

I'm on a 360 so please don't tell me how to fix these with console commands. If you know of any other ways though please do tell me.

So these are my WTF?!?! glitches, what are yours?

That's why I never use the weapon plaques or weapon racks, they're extremely glitchy and there's a ridiculously high chance you'll lose something or can't retrieve it. As for the Winterhold situation I had it to, I just fixed it by leaving and re-entering and talking to him. Not sure of any other fix.

To fix your second bug try using this method I got off of UESP:

If you miss the first chance to defend yourself from Tolfdir's fireball, he may not throw another one at you, stalling the quest indefinitely. You can kill some of the College's members, get expelled, return, pay the fine, and rejoin the College and the quest will become unstuck. A better way to fix this bug is to quickly tap your cast button so the Ward only casts for a second. Tolfdir will mention that you have to keep the ward up. His actions will recycle and he will repeat where you have to stand. Cast the ward again after he tells you to and he should throw a fireball your way. Another way that may work: kill everyone in the room that you can, get them to stop attacking you, and then Tolfdir will skip to the end of the quest for you. "Because of the tragedy that occurred."

or

Another way to try and "reset" Tolfdir is to dual cast the lesser ward spell. He may either tell you to hold it longer or he may go ahead and cast his spell.

I've left and re-entered and when I talk to him I can shop with him and everything. But alas still no firebolt ever comes from him at my ward.

Ahh, will try these methods out later on thanks.
