Bugs galore yet another bug discovered lol, at the start, Alduin refuses to land on the tower, he just keeps patrolling in the sky while the axeman just stands there looking at me, been sitting there on the block for half an hour now haha.
Patch to fix bugs? Pesticide would be better, this game is infested!

Player error, most likely. Are you sure you went through the conversations? Someone is probably waiting for you to approach them.

Except there's no conversations in the opening sequence...

I'm going to call BS on this one ... and, even if true, this is the upteenth new thread on bugs. This should be in the bugs thread or software issues forums.

It is an old save just before character creation, used that save a couple of times now, never a problem. Gonna try and see tommorow if he does same thing, got my belly full of bugs atm, ill hunt more tommorow, hopefully i find some epic and who knows even legendary bugs with dual enchants on them.

You may just want to load an old save.
I usually go back an hour or so when I find game stopping bugs.

This is in the opening sequence.

It's some type of file error. I had a similar problem when my download was interrupted by my computer going to sleep (...). I got to the part where the priestess starts praying and is supposed to be interrupted by one of the prisoners, only he never spoke up and the priestess just waved her hands in the air and nothing could be done. I solved it by doing a fresh download and never ran into that bug again. You may also want to look into any mods you have that interfere with the opening sequence.
