I'd suggest you take a read of the unofficial bug thread in the PC section. There are many confirmed bugs (over 300) that have been found. That they don't affect your game play doesn't mean they don't exist. Some of the bugs will only manifest themselves under certain conditions, whereas some are evident in every game. For example, create a High Elf, go into first person mode and find something at eye level. Change to third person mode and see what you find. Or join the Bards Collage and do the quests. After the quest are done, try getting rid of the quest items. There are bugs. Bethesda knows there are bugs and that is why they have a thread notifying us of when the impending bug fixes will be released.

I'm glad that you are enjoying the game as is.

I tried talking to the Jarl but nothing is said about it.

You are the same as me.I havent noticed any much of a bug.
Maybe i dont notice them much,wich is good

I'm playing on the PC and I've been playing about 130 hours and don't have performance problems (crashing, stuttering, low FPS, etc). I also haven't experienced any of the major quest bugs (bugs that stop a quest from being completed), however, I've run into a lot of bugs throughout the game. A lot. It could be that you have a higher tolerance for these things, or you don't know what they are so you miss them or whatever. Maybe you have been lucky and missed them depending on where you've gone in the game, which followers you've used, which quests you have done, etc. There are some days I've very frustrated by the number of errors and bugs I see and some days I don't see any.

I never managed take an arrow to the knee. Conclusion: My game is bugged. QQ

I did on my PS3 copy which isn't broken.

No, OP. You're not the only one. But if you come around here and say that, people are going to unleash a sea of flames upon you.

I myself get sick of seeing people constantly telling us "bug-freers" that we just don't notice the bugs or my eyes aren't evolved enough to see frame-rate drops... I can't just not have any of those issues? My experience must and will be the same as all the other people with the broken game..? That's mathematically unrealistic. :s

I havn't encountered a single bug since I purchased Skyrim. Well... actually... I did come face-to-face with a butterfly earlier.

But seriously, did some people chew the disk when they got the game?

There are a few external contributors to bugs on the PC which are often overlooked. They are in no particular order:

1. Mods. Many people install just about every "Better Faces", Skyrim HD", and "Improved Shaders" mods (shout-out to the Nexus) and then run into performance issues or just plain weird bugs in the game. When I encounter what I perceive to be a bug I disable all mods and load an earlier save and try to duplicate the problem. If the bug persist then I'll Google for a solution. If not, I'll enable my mods one by one until I find the culprit and file a bug report with the creator of said mod.

2. PC Hardware. Just because your system barely passed the mark does not mean it will work as advertised. Minimum specs says "This should run the game. For how long and with how many issues we can't tell". If you have to use .ini tweaks to get a few extra fps then you need an upgrade. If you insist of trying to run Skyrim at max settings on a 5 year old system don't expect to have fun.

3. Pirated Software. Now before you get all huffed and puffed, I'm not saying that everyone who has issues is playing the "free download" version of Skyrim. I'm saying, a lot of the trolls who sign up just to flame and then run off fits this profile and that it is a rather substantial contributor to the amount of complaints that we see. Chances are they are also a large part of the group who needs to upgrade their hardware since I doubt they could afford a decent PC if they can't afford $60. Usually running an non-updated version of Windows as well which just further makes things go awry. Aside from a few minor glitches in quests still plaguing all of my technical issues were fixed by patches. I have not had one CTD since patch 1.3.10.

4. Exploiting. There's quite a few complaints where someone is deliberately taking advantage of a flaw in the game and then when it bites them in the ass they jump on the forums and scream bloody murder. Seriously, Bethesda could not have foreseen every possible weird thing every person in the world would think of trying at point x in dungeon y. Use some common sense.

So yeah, Skyrim's got a few issues but on the whole it's pretty stable now and they are working on fixing the quests. People just need to learn some love.

Did digital foundry chew the disk when there professional anolysis proved that the ps3 version regularly drops to 0 fps.....yes ZERO fps.?

My ps3 version was sub 25 fps right from the start.

And @ CCNA I don't think it's a stretch at all to say 0-10 fps and patches that break more than they fix makes for a buggy mess.

And then they have the nerve to joke about it with there skitty comments "amazing backwards flying dragons"
Trust me when this is somebody's most eagerly awaited game in years, comments like that are not well received.

Yes you are.
Here, take a look at my nuclear nirnroots on vanilla:

I picked those herbs weeks ago. Real time weeks, not ingame.

I also had Esbern bug on the main quest and had to do the BSA audio extraction fix. that was a pain, and may be out of the realm of a lot of common pc users expertise to fix.
Oh, and I had the ancient shrouded armor glitch too, where it completely disappears from the game if you've been to a particular dungeon on other quests too many times.
Then there's the thieve's guild hood texture disappearing, that's a known documented bug. And let's not forget the ballooning save file with increasing CTDs now that i'm 215 hours in. I could go on, and this was all on one playthrough. I even reinstalled mid-December.

It's a great game, but there are a lot of bugs. Be thankful that you're bug free.

Here, have a floating skeleton hand, this is on a fresh character:

I've also had floating daggers, and mammoths falling out of the sky. In the 250 hours I've played I've forgotten more bugs that i've encountered than I could recall to post. One more and I'm done, have a missing texture on the house:

Still love the game, but to deny that there are a lot of bugs is pretty silly.

Had a lots of blue screens with my old hd 5700 graphic card, with the 6800 things works much better
One broken quest, the white phial, broke as I had an quest ingredient in inventory then I accepted the quest, quite possible I bought it from the alchemist just before accepting the quest. Solved it with console commands.

Some minor problems like Aela using her stupid hunting bow instead of the double enchanted legendary glass one I gave her, however it make her worthless in combat unless you fix it regularly with console commands.

Why is it that the people that complain about the people complaining about the "complainers" sound exactly like the people they themselves are complaining about and the original "complainers?"

tl;dr You all sound the same.

Yes they actually would. I have seen numerous times people complaining in here about "bugs" when they were actually doing things wrong. Two of my favs are one where the guy was complaining his enchanted bow was bugged, while in reality it simply was out of charge. The other was a person complaining enchanting was bugged but he didn't actually have any soul gems with souls in them.

Forget cry wolf, more like cry bug.

I am on the 360 and avoided patch 1.2 and I have had the same experience of the OP. Few minor bugs, nothing game breaking (few house displays dont work, the white phail, few quest items stuck in inventory, etc).

I too have encountered very little bugs in Skyrim....in my first playthrough the only bugs I noticed were: not being able to hand in two or three miscellaneous quests, a few quest items still in my inventory and the texture issues (which are now fixed). That was about 65 hours of gameplay of completing all of the guilds, the Civil War, the Main Quest and a lot of miscellaneous quests. I also had the game crash three times but that was also fixed.
During my current playthrough I've experienced one bug where a part of the Thane quest in Riften is bugged (bought my house and upgraded but it still tells me to talk to the Jarl).

I play on the Xbox 360 and have the game installed to my HDD.

I was once like you... Until farkas sent me to brawl with some bard in Rorikstead. As soon as we initiated dialogue to begin the brawl, the redguards and Rorik stepped in and started cutting down the bard. I left tavern, reentered to find a dead Rorik, and peacefullness once again. I started the brawl up again and redguards attacked the bard again. He fell low on health, and i punched him, thinking hopefully he'd submit. He died. I failed the quest, but still able to progress. This was after a quest vilkas sent me on to a already cleared bandit camp. I couldnt complete that, but thankfully farkas gave me the intimidation job

I have none of the bugs you just described.

Just one of many examples. There are bugs that absolutely cannot be avoided if you complete every quest. Stating that there are no bugs is either choosing to ignore them to make a point or not caring enough to notice them.

And that's assuming a clean, rigid playthrough. If I go through the quests one at a time, following the exact sequence of events described in some game guide, I'm sure I'm not going to encounter any quest-breaking bugs. A good percentage on the quests in the game can be broken or demonstrate outright silly behavior if the 'intended path' is strayed from even a little. 'Blood on the Ice' is infamous in this regard -- assuming it actually starts and the guard at the graveyard doesn't fail to show up, it pretty much has to be undertaken in a very specific sequence in order to progress smoothly. Radiant quests cause multitudes of issues. They can often point to the same locations as other quests, rendering one quest or the other non-completable. "I completed every quest" doesn't account for the possibility of taking multiple radiant quests.

These are design issues. They have nothing to do with hardware, they aren't caused by mods. Pretending they don't exist isn't going to get them fixed. Thankfully, Bethesda is smarter than that. They've acknowledged the bugs and are working on fixing them. When they release patches that fix dozens of bugs, the 'bug-free game' arguments are going to look awfully silly. Or what fixes bugs for the rest of us will actually break your game (they'll change things that are already functioning properly in your game), which I guess will make you the unlucky ones.

I've had only TWO gameplay bugs happen to me so far and all I needed to do was restart an autosave or use a simple console command. All other bugs are minor like my off-handed sword not disappearing until I sheath it again or a CTD after ten hours of continuous gameplay.

I've had a few freezes and that's it.

I didn't have any issues for weeks. Now about 100 hours into the game it seems the game is slowly dying:

- Crashes (screen freezes)
- Slow downs
- Texture issues (like all ingame flames having squares around them and long lines comming from certain objects*)

*Right now I have to remove all Nord Beer from the game as these objects have texture lines that fill up a room. Removing them solves the issue so I removed them from all areas that I'm often at.

One problem i havent had yet was crashing. With a hundred hours of play i only had one crash, but id attribute that to installation to hdd and cache clearing

Just because you do not have them does not mean they do not exist I have these bugs so do others. They exist and they are annoying then also these is the exploring item hug that makes it impossible to decorate your house, you try to set up an item it ends up in the floor.

I had the non respawning enemies wince either latch 1.2 or 1.3 I am pretty sure it began with 1.3.

My point is calling everybody liars is not called for, there is legitimate complaints about the bugs within this game. For me it has more bugs than even New Vegas, I inky had a few irritating bugs with that game, that game froze a lot and I mean a whole lot. Then there was the stupid ash piles. Those were the two worst ones. Then I had some tumbleweeds that stuck ul in the air sometimes. These bugs do not compare to the bugs that I am having with Skyrim, not even the ash piles, they are far more numerous in Skyrim.

Oh I forgot about that one. I have all the lutes and drums and crap still in my inventory. In fact, my inventory is full of quest items.

I've had some bugs, some of them (in)famous, some weird...none really game-breaking. My file has just hit 10MB (360 versh) & its a tad laggier than it was day one, but it's no worse than trying to play oblivion on PS3...that could be laggy as hell. On a couple of occasions I thought some quests were broken, but each time it revolved around a character who was focused on MQ duties. Once the MQ quests were done with, I could carry on with the "broken" ones. I'm still playing this game like its Oblivion, but it has its own quirks. All in all an astonishing game & I love it!

Don't believe you OP.

Besides you come across as boastful and accusatory to anyone that does actually have issues.

You're about as credible as the sea of bethesda defenders that claimed 1.2 caused no problems at all, til they cast flames on a Fire spirit and it worked during which a dragon fly backwards though the background and the Jarl of Windhelm told them they couldn't buy a house and ordered the Markarth guards to attack them on sight. But still maintained it was all fine and "normal".
Only slightly more credible then the claims this game is made for Xbox 360 when I've come across every bug going.

Sea of teen rage? Why would any advlt have an issue with a product they paid money for not functioning as it should.
People aren't lying about bugs in this game, frankly to even suggest as much is obsurd when bethesda are well known for the buggiest releases in games.
The last line takes out the last leg of your "defense", if you are on PC (or even if your not the coding issues don't cease to exist on consoles) theres a well known patch, highly popular for cleaning up the game allowing it to run smoother, you still want to maintain your game runs flawlessly?

To make a post to whine about complains, call people lairs and make such high claims is just...ugh, you sound no different from the people in the fake quotes you use to bash anyone with a complaint.
