For the love of god why is Esbern following me everywhere? Every time I enter a city or fast travel he is there and all he says is "huh did you say something" And when I try to talk to him there is no dialog. What gives?

Interesting glitch... I assume you already completed all the quests involving him and he and Delphine are supposed to stay at the temple?

I've got a horse that I stole constantly showing up when I fast travel, It's now marked as "Ride" rather than "Steal" but still wanders off when I dismount.

What really svcks is if anything hits me when I fast travel or enter the city, Esbern unloads on them. Hes killing my roleplay.

There are weird FT glitches like this, and others where the game seems to "attach" stuff to you. I've FT'd and had a skeleton disassemble itself on arrival, bones flying everywhere. I've also had entire dragon carcasses appear, usually shivering uncontrollably. However, the strangest thing happened the other day, and it (hopefully) resolved a long-term mystery:

From time to time, I'd be running along and would hear a random and irregular thumping sound, sort of like a basketball bouncing. I'd look around, but nothing was there. I entered a house and the sound continued, but all of a sudden I saw some legs hanging down from the ceiling. I went upstairs and the legs jerked around. There I found the torso. Any move I made caused a rag-doll effect on the body. Here's the really weird part: the body was mine! I tried to switch views, but I wasn't visible in 3rd person. I'm not sure what caused this glitch, but maybe it was from a draugr deathlord's shout which starts the rag doll cut scene.

That is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard! Are you saying you've constantly got a dead version of yourself floating above your head?!

Only rarely, and the more I think about it, the more certain I am that it's due to a glitch in the fus-ro-dah animation. That is, when I'm the target.
