Xbox 360 discovered glitches

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 2:59 pm

As an early Elder Scrolls fanatic, there's no telling how long I've spent playing all the types of amazing games they've come out with. Since Skyrim has been released on the 360, I've logged probably over 500 hours into the game, and that's just a rough minimum estimate. I've managed to play on well over 4 or five characters that have reached the level 50 mark, as well as one who has maxed out. In my irregular ammount of time playing the game, I've encountered quite a few glitches, some very subtle, others that can be game-changing. Since it's been a few months, and these have not (yet) been addressed, I figured I would go ahead and create my own account on the forums to list all the ones I've encountered, and invite others to message me theirs, so that I could be glad to add them on to the list. Notice that this is not a huge rant/complaint posting, but simply an attempt to put them all in one place to make Bethesda's job easier. These are the ones I've encountered so far, and if you read this and you have encountered one that I have not, feel free to message me, and I will list it below.

Companion related glitches

I have finished the questline, but for some odd reason Skjor has reappeared and I can recieve missions from him.

Problems activating the totems

Werewolf power involving the summoning of wolves sometimes does not work properly, and they do not attack. (may have been fixed, have not encountered this problem recently)

When entering Jorrvaskar to complete a mission, the game freezes upon exit.

When turning into a werewolf while equipping a two handed weapon, sometimes the werewolf will equip a one-handed weapon in his hand if it was previously used. (same effect as to if you had a bow and equipped a shield, you would equip your last used one-handed weapon.)

Sometiems werewolf killcams fail to work properly, and everyone stands still for a few seconds before the designated kill just dies before you.

Quest related glitches

Blood on the Ice- If sided with the empire in the Civil War questline, and have done the quest "Battle for Windhelm" before speaking to the gaurd again, you will not be able to continue the quest.

Bard's College side quests- If the Dragonborn has found the instruments before asked to retrieve them, they will remain in the inventory and the Dragonborn will not be able to turn them over.

Infiltration- After clearing out Treva's Watch for Stalleo, it is repopulated with bandits. Not sure if this was intended, but doesn't make much sense.

All Quests- Dragon attacks seem to break possible dialogue if they happen while having certain conversations with quest related people. I can not even recall how many times I've had to reload because of this.

I'm very aware there are more, keep messaging me so i can post them.

Misc. Glitches

Dungeons fail to repopulate- The chests in a given area will repopulate with loot, however bandits, forsworn, dragons, etc. Will not. Not intended, as Jarls will still give Misc. Bounties for these areas, where a destination marker will lead to a spot with nothing.

Shield Bash fails to work- Although the sprinting animation works, the sudden enchantment the shield seems to recieve that knocks people down does not activate, and nothing happens.

Paralysis Bow Shot misses- Because the paralyzing perk from the Archery skill tree works as long as you let go of an arrow when someone is in your crosshairs, and not simply because you hit them with an arrow, many times a killcam will activate and the character will be paralyzed but the arrow will miss.

Floating people- (May have been fixed) Sometimes people will seem to levitate in erratic patterns.

Dragonrend Useless- Many times Dragonrend is used it seems as if a Dragon cannot find a path to land, and the effect wears off before it does.

Jarl Of Dawnskar- Jarl will give Misc. Quests that do not dissapear off of list when completed.

Staff(s) of Magnus- Staff of Magnus will respawn on the Dragon Priest in Labarynthian.

Unrecieved perk- The perk that is supposed to be recieved when bringing a Dragon Bone and Dragon Scale to Esbern is not recieved, and objective remains in list with no means to complete it.

Some Misc. Quest objectives never dissapear when completed-
- Investigate Boethiah Cultist
- Collect bounty from Skald
- Clear Redbelly Mine of spiders
- Investigate the Bards College
(More)

Please message me so that I can add to the list.
