Once i killed some random guy in his house in IC to join DB and I went outside and talked to a guard to check if i was seen. I hadn't and so I went to an inn and got a bed. I went upsatirs to it opened the door and a guard popped up from behind it and said the crime bit and is was terrified. I almost died laughing after though. :D

Something quite odd happened to me on the Xbox 360 once... I'd just left Skingrad, and because I was bored I decided to attack an Imperial Legion Soldier who was on horseback (as you do). He said "I'm on your side!" then proceeded to try and arrest me while he was still on his horse. The camera focused in right on the horse's face and the game played the standard "Stop right there, criminal scum! etc etc" message! It was hilarious to see the horse's face staring right at me while the guard's voice was arresting me, almost like it was the horse! It was also the first time I'd been called criminal scum by a horse...

I just got into the arcane university and, as i was walking to the chironasium when a mage suddenly attacked a battle mage then a bunch of other mages came and killed the battle mage this still happens to me and not only in the university but also in the city

And right now im in cheydinhal and for some odd reason everybodys eyes are purple and i havent killed anybody there so i cant use the staff of worms(i mean i can but have no reason to do so) and therfore its my best interest to make my discoveries public.

ok now i know why if you say go on a killing spree and you save before you do so when you are done killing everybody and messing with there bodies with the staff of worms or by puting somthing(like an item) in them and you load your save everything you have done to them in your killing spree is present in that save like if you use the staff of worms on someone there eyes will be purple if im wrong feel free to yell at me :)

I'm sure this has happened to others a good bit, but I walked into the Lonely Suitor directly after activating the Mythic Dawn as I needed lockpicks. Ranaline reveals herself and yells something and then gets killed in like one second by Bogrom and Luciana. I laughed, looted her corpse and sold all her stuff to fund a bit of the 100 lockpicks.

When wrapping up some side quests, I was doing the Siren's Deception and read on the wiki how you could kill Gogan and Maelona at the farmhouse without bounty as they're different NPCs. I did for the hell of it, and Gogan landed in an extremely awkward position... arched backwards but still sorta standing over a round table in the corner with a bunch of candles on it. He was glowing from the light on his back and head.

what i find hilarious is when you shoot someone who is blocking with a (large works best) shield and kill them, because when they are hit they are blown back and their shield just falls from where they were holding it

Apparently there is a high rate of job competition among the Imperial Legion Foresters. The two outside of Bruma seem more interested in hunting each other then bandits or game. :?

Not sure if this was a glitch or simply a bad, bad day.

I was up at Dive Rock (these never end well) and decided that the Adoring Fan was a bit of a pain. I positioned him at the edge and fired a good healthy blast of Electrocution at him. Needless to say, he died, then went flying off the cliff. I descended, hoping to find the body. After much searching, I hadn't found him. After fast traveling to the stable outside Leiawiin, I noticed something something odd. A corpse was rolling down the hill. Guess who?

NOTE: Electrocution is apparently capable of cross-country firing of Adoring Fans when used from the launching pad known as Dive Rock.

lol!

I like to put my Adoring Fans in the way of angry spellcasters.

I also like hitting them with the Staff of Worms.

I don't know how this happened, but I was in crucible and trying to kill people without the guards seeing and I killed this one girl (can't remember who) and I think she might have been going into a building the exact second I killed her. She died normally and I moved on. When I was in Crucible later I heard this weird banging and I found the body of the girl i killed flailing around. I went to the other side of the building and her body was stretched all the way across. I wish I could have captured it somehow but I don't have any way to record from my 360.

That happened to me a couple of times.

I was once fighting some necromancers in a cave, when one of them got stuck in a fallen rock trap. The funny thing is, all those stones flew through the room and I got hit and even took damage :).

This happened a few months ago: I killed one of the victims in the Whodunit? quest and closed a door while she was laying on the space before it. The door closed through her body and that triggered the glitch.

The solution? Reloading or waiting until the body will disappear (after a few days, in-game of course).

If you have the game for PC, try placing an incomparably huge bounty on his head using the console commands. Do this in the Arboretum (which I think has the most guards), and watch him asplode.

I made a clone of myself using the createfullactorcopy console command, and then had it follow me around [technically its a member of the knights of the nine, so I was able to ask it to follow me], then went outside to discover it jumping about. [Still following me.] When I went under an enclosed space, it jumped straight through the roof and I later found it hanging by its foot from the very same area, convulsing while a sizable group of guards [six or seven] attempted attack it.

I got one where Bruscus Dannus from Highcross was stuck in his chair. Usually he gets angry if you even touch an object in his house. I wrecked his house and he called me a dirty little filcher, but then went back to saying, "Things are always such a mess around here." I shot a bunch of arrows at him, and he said the same thing.

I was walking around Cyrodiil and I saw a Wolf. I ran towards it and all of the sudden it just flew upwards and disappeared into the sky.

I don't know if this counts as funny, but it's odd. When I fought Jyggalag in the Shivering Isles, he was really weak. It took me only 8 hits to beat him. He was still preaching about beating me when he was on the ground.

This happened about an hour ago. In Crucible, I wanted to do the quest Ushnar's Terror, since I could get a pet skinned hound. I waited and waited for Ushnar to appear, so when I gave up on that I went to his house. It was unlocked, and he wasn't even inside. I checked the upstairs, and right as I walked in the skinned hound fell dead right in front of me. Ushnar's dog was acting odd too. It keeps walking into the door of Earil's Mysteries. I think Ushnar just vanished from the game entirely.

Heres a glitch I discovered: (NOTE: must be indoors) Kill a guard, any guard. Then re-animate him with The Staff of Worms and while he's floating up immediately manipulate a nearby stolen object. The guard will try to arrest you while floating up to the ceiling and glowing purple once he hits the ceiling his limbs will stretch everywhere. If you resist arrest he will fall back down to the floor and punch you for the next 30 seconds. I did this in the Temple of the One without a ceiling. After a while he was just a little purple star in the sky.

For some reason, when I go into 3rd person view, my character model doesn't appear where I am. It'll pop up somewhere else, usually where I entered the zone from.
“Fine day” said the young man.

“Gods!” hollered Zaki, sending the young man flying with a well-placed punch, and dashing away.

When I fast travel to the arcane university the mages and battle mages are always fighting and the mages always win.But it happens all the time and there is no reason i come right in the middle of a full out brawl.

Ever cast a frenzy? That will cause the Apprentices to attack the Battlemages, and they don't have the money to pay so they resist arrest and the other Mages help them fight the Battlemages due to the Battlemages not being part of the Mages Guild. Then when they respawn (as the Scholars, Battlemages and Apprentices do) they still have the bounty and it repeats itself.

Glitches

Post by Orion The Free »

In the veteran's lodge in Sundercliff Watch I killed a veteran on a staircase and he fell into a short wall next to the stairs. This caused his hands to be stuck on one side of the wall shaking up and down rapidly while his head rested on top off this wall. Thus, it appeared as though he was "dancing" and headbanging.
