Most annoying glitch so far - Quick Reflexes indefinite slow-mo bug. This is the only bug I've had in over 250 hours of play, so yea...

Most disappointing design implementation - Horses. A game like Red Dead Redemption and Mount and Blade are evidence that horses can be done well. I bought a horse on my first character and I haven't ridden one since.

Things they need to change in ES VI - Alchemy must be revamped. I like the creation side of it, but I don't like pausing combat and sorting through a giant list of potions or having to click "yes" every time I want to poison my weapon.I only have room to hotkey health and stam potions, so most of my other potions just take up space. The combat has improved since Oblivion, but eliminating the need to pause would make it a better game

Ok I'm not good at following rules so I have a list.

1) Finishing the main quest lines and weak guards still treat you like a B!7ch , but hey , there's freaking ANTS CRAWLING ON LOGS AND CRAP YAYYYY!

2) Followers trapping you in small rooms at the door to the point you dread going into small areas , because bumping into them makes them say inane crap like HUH??

3) Fewer choices of what you wanna look like ingame.I.E. I really liked the "horned scaled armor" but couldn't upgrade it.Then said set looks pretty good but whoever designed the helmet needs to punch himself in the [email="B@!!s"]B@!!s[/email].

4) All the guards seemingly knowing what skills you've been using the most like they're all psychic guards and calling you sneakthief in public and you have absolutely no recourse but to take it like a dog or murder everyone in the city and change the way you were playing , c'mon this was the age of real men and duels of honor , where's my option?He's a guard and I'm a freaking Thane?Oyeah and the Yarl will make a point of saying he'll inform the guards of your awesome new staus so they can continue treating you like a slimeball no matter how much you help your city and people.

5) Limited range of responses to NPCs when they suddenly turn on you (I'm looking at you , Delphine!) There's just no option to even explain yourself , even though their stated purpose for existing is "serving the dragonborn."Explanation : You've personally experienced things these people haven't and have first-hand experience of the matter that they don't and you can't just inform them.

6) The dragons , omfg you got that right about the flying and never landing thing.My newest experience with that is after getting a certain BA horse and the dragons proceeded to never ever land but try roasting the hell out of my horse for like ..... FORVER AND MAKING THE HORSE RUN HALFWAY BACK FROM WHERE I STARTED!

Amazingly , even after these gripes this game is absolutely amazing and I'll give propes to you guys for making it.At the same time it feels rushed or maybe the people responsible for certain aspects really ARE clueless how actual people react , but still , great game!

The bugged dragon that flys in VERY AWKWARD flight paths near the place which is full of strange craters and waters, looks like Yellowstone Park lol...
You encountered him too! XD. I loved that dragon. He survived many many fights, trained my destruction skill about 10 levels all by himself. Beautiful.

Then he unglitched.

For me, the most annoying thing is characters passive dialogue.

i.e. Being called a sneak thief because I have sneak at level 34. When I have't actually sneaked in my characters life, it's just increased because I have been killed in combat, reloaded to a save where I am undetected but unsneaking and it increases through an apparent glitch.

Children commenting on ANYTHING. Especially the "Why are they hurting each other comment", when it is made about a filthy great big dragon that is currently doing its best to eat the town guard, livestock, the child's parents and the dragonborn. I don't know how stupid the children of Bethesda staff are, but you'd think in a land that is supposed to be as vicious as Skyrim that the 10ish year old children wouldn't be that dumb about an oversized lizard.

After killing a dragon outside Windhelm, one of the guards turns around, puts his bow away and says
"Guard might get nervous, a man approaching with his weapon drawn"

Horses come a close second. The lack of mounted combat and the horrible model of a horse they used irritate me immensely.


Most disappointing design implementation - Horses. A game like Red Dead Redemption and Mount and Blade are evidence that horses can be done well. I bought a horse on my first character and I haven't ridden one since.
I'm not even going to mention Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, where not only did the horses have good movement speed, but mounted combat was a go, the combat was generally very much like Skyrims is (as in small groups of enemies or individual enemies) and the horses could turn on the spot realistically.


When shopkeepers run out of gold
Oh yeah. This is second equal. Man that's a pain in the neck. I'd actually be quite keen to mod in Oblivion's system. Offloading equipment in Skyrim is a pain in the neck.

terrible navigation/layout of items when going through containers.

Like.. that was NO problem in Oblivion, perfect really. Did they just totally forget to sort items in containers - at least in the homes you buy???

*scrolls through non-alphabetical container for 5 minutes trying to find one thing*
Which makes this 4th.

Oh. And my most annoying glitch is the fact that items randomly keep getting assigned stolen status, when they aren't stolen.

Most annoying thing? Trying to stay current on the forum :) Too many unnecessary posts (just like this one I guess) which doesn't really add anything to the actual discussion.

I think it's that you never know are you running or not. Run can go on or stay off any time when you use containers, inventory, discussion or savefile. It's really annoying and is the thing which has caused the most of the deaths I have had in Skyrim. Hate it. Why can't it stay on the way you have set it to be?

1. Selling multiple items worth more then 1000 gold.... I've got at least a hundred items I wish to sell yet I refuse to walk back and forth waiting and sleeping to sell one item at a time. Merchants need to carry more gold!!! This seriously needs to be addressed. I'm level 49 with over 100 hrs game time, I've got literally hundreds of items I need to sell, yet I can't because merchants don't carry enough damn gold!!

2. Theives guild armour bug, like alot of people I chucked mine away because it's garbage, now I can't get it back to finish the quest/ upgrade armour.

3. You can't attack whilst riding a horse...

4. You can't ride dragons.

To the power of 9000. It is rediculous that I have to travel all over skyrim to sell one dungeon's loot of items. Seriously, the merchants amount of gold should level scale like everthing else, and If, if for some bizzare reason you got the perks for them to have more money, you would simply have the advantage of not having to go to so many shops.

It's funny how you're saying that considering it's one of the best light armour sets in the game.

The fact that I predict what containers will have before I open them,and 90% of the times I'm right.

For me, it's the attrocious pathing AI.

Without a doubt. When Lydia stubs her toe on a two-inch high obstacle, and the game can't make her step up, it's gets old that I have to go back and guide her somewhere else so she can follow me.

If you like dungeons, and haven't done the Sightless Pit yet, have fun, you'll be doing it by yourself.

Missing the point aren't you. It is a major flaw to the game. I cannot complete the game until they update and fix this problem.

Your opinion..

I threw it away.

Yes it does, unless the cell is already in the cache. It loads whenever you enter a new cell.

Weapons never leaving the ground if you leave them when you kill a foe, also the enemies on the outer cells of dungeons not respawning and I think that the weapons are somehow related to the enemies not respawning.

The ash piles never disappear.

Bad pathfinding.

The lackluster magic system.

The save game bug on the 360 where when your saves trail off the screen they disappear, then when you delete some files some older saves reappear.

That happened to me, except it was a naked courier. I thought I was absolutely hillarious, someone streaking through my dragon battle.
