The Soul Cairn sky is definitely bugged for me: on most saves it has no moons in it at all, on some saves it has two moons, and on one save it had one moon, as seen here. :wat:

The funniest/weirdest moment I've experienced was in Forgotten Vale.

Serana and I had just exited Darkfall Cave and entered this beautiful landscape. We snuck towards one of the giants to pick up a paragon, and I sneak-attacked him with my bow. Of course, Serana (like she "always" does) had to ruin my chance to finish him off without ever compromising my position. She rushed straight towards him without taking into consideration the this giant has a giant CLUB that can "deal some serious damage". Of course, the giant clubbed her down as soon as she got in clubbing range. I know Serana is a protected NPC and cannot die, but she collapsed and did not move at all. I finished off the giant and tried using "Necromantic Healing" on her, with no success. I tried talking to her and suddenly her lips moved: "Do you need something?" She was able to communicate like nothing ever happened, but that was all she could do. So, I guess it's true that Serana can't die, but she can break her neck and become permanently paralyzed. Since there aren't any wheelchairs or physios in Forgotten Vale, I had no other choice than reloading the previous save. :-)

Another funny incident took place at the Aetherium Forge. I had just removed the shards from the mechanism that proved to be the entrance. Katria and I got off the platform just in time, but not Serana. She sky-rocketed when the entrance erected and fell down like a sack of potatoes. She didn't die or break her neck, but she hurt herself badly. Not a glitch, I guess, but hilarious nonetheless.

Mildly funny bug: after just having recruited Sorine Jurard and Gunmar to the Dawnguard, I overheard them discussing Florentius, who isn't even there yet. :lol:

I STILL have Twitchy- the dead ancient dragon following me around everywhere I go. It wouldn't be so bad if only he had gold to loot.

My main Nord has an Elder Dragon that follows her every now and then. It appears randomly, prompting me to say in a high pitched voice "ELDER DRAGON! You're back! How was life? What's up?"

Haven't seen Twitchy in a couple of days, but now I have a dead (empty of course) hagraven and two unsprung bear traps following me around! Very annoying when I keep stepping in them.

I've finally been hit with the glitch that prevents Balgruuf from giving you the Axe of Whiterun. I had been hoping I'd never experience it. I've also had a glitch appear in my game that seems to effect every character. Heimskr no longer preaches his sermons. he just stands there silently. I know that most people would enjoy this glitch, but not me. I actually like Heimskr.

I experienced a glitch the other day that after alt-tabbing into the game after looking something up, none of the textures loaded, except for plants. The buildings all looked like grey Sketchup models and the characters all had glowing blue skin like characters from ReBoot. I played around with it for a bit and took a few screenshots before saving and reloading before I broke anything.

I know that the glitch where Skjor returns has already been mentioned, but I think I just experienced a unique take on it. I finished the Companions questline early in my game. I'm level 47 now, and just entered the town of Darkwater Crossing for the first time. While I was conversing with the miners near their tents, Skjor came floating by...or at least his upper half did. He was buried in the ground from the waist down, and although it gave me the talk icon when I targeted him, it wasn't actually possible to speak with him. His gliding torso was disconcerting, to say the least. I wish I could have taken a screen shot, but I'm playing on the Xbox right now.


Also, my adopted children frequently levitate while inside my house, at least while living at either Hjerim or Heljarchen. I haven't tested other locations, but I've just decided to assume the are going to grow up to be mages and are just practicing.

Another issue I'be noticed is that my spouse (Farkas) sometimes won't let the kids come inside the house at night. I'm not sure if that's a glitch, a problem with NPC pathing, or if he just gets tired of being home with them all the time, but I will come home and find them standing outside in the dark, just stairing at the door. When I go inside, I find him standing just inside with his arms crossed, as if he is angry and purposely preventing them from entering. He usually moves away from the door once I start moving around the house, and when the girls do come in, they make positive comments about him taking them fishing, so I don't know what's going on with them.

I just came across Louis Letrush looking around near the stables outside Whiterun. Unfortunately only the top half of him was there. Either his lower half was in the ground or he'd been cut in half.
On conversing with him he said 'need something?'
I thought, 'No, but you look like you could do with a pair of legs'.

The other day, approaching Whiterun for the first time with my current character, I ran into Aela, Ria and Farkas who had just killed the usual giant attacking the Pelagia farm. The ladies behaved normally, but Farkas was lying on the ground face down, and when they walked away he sort of swam or slithered across the ground after them instead of getting up. I didn't even notice whether he said his usual line, I was laughing so hard.

I was on my way to Black-Briar Lodge to steal the horse after speaking to Sibi in the Riften Jail. It was night, and as I approached I went into sneak mode as is norm. Suddenly one of the guards who hang out there came running down the hill in my direction, with his torch in one hand and his sword in the other. I thought I'd been spotted, but could only stand back with my mouth agape as he ran straight past me shouting and swinging his sword in pursuit of ...a chicken! I watched in awe as the pair of them disappeared over a hill. I took the opportunity to dispatch the other guard and steal the horse, but I never did find the chicken or the first guard again - for all I know he's still chasing it halfway across Skyrim!

@Jeelius-Tei - That is frightening.

Today I had my character sleeping in order to fulfill the needs of the Realistic Needs & Diseases mods and when I woke up, as was mentioned before in this thread, Yatuk was standing above me complaining about Mauhulakh. She then proceeded to turn around and walk out the door, only to repeat the same thing the next night. Kind of weird. At least I have never had the moving mannequins glitch.

Also today I tried out the bucket trick in the Riverwood Trader's to steal some of their stuff, mostly the gold. I picked something up off of the table and Lucan yelled at me; I turned around, confused, in time to see the bucket I'd put on his head shoot up into the ceiling and disappear. Thankfully I'd saved before I'd attempted it so I reloaded, and then decided if I wanted to steal things I'd stick to my typical methods of killing the person and then looting their house when they weren't around to complain.
the ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

He's still there, but now there's another 2 whole Louis' standing next to him. They all say, 'need something?' in a row as I walk past. Spooky.

I was quite happily walking along in Winterhold and suddenly my game decided to flood the world- but only for me. Everyone else continues walking but I'm swimming in the air.
Needless to say, I drowned.

@Jeelius-Tei: That's frightening and hilarious at the same time.

So once I had immortal mode enabled by using the console and my Khajiit got beheaded. Instead of doing the smart thing and immediately reloading, I killed the guy that beheaded her, got her on her horse and took a cool headless horseman type screenshot. For that one cool photo, I paid dearly. About two days later while in Whiterun, THIS happened:

No matter where she went, her head stayed in the same place. The hilariously awful part is that it even had a shadow.

Even going up a few hundred feet didn't matter. Her hair stretched the entire way and when she fell to her death, she didn't get her head back. Eventually she did, but now her head is bugging out and she keeps walking into invisible water that ultimately drowns her, or just vanishing out of nowhere.
