When i was at the sewer gate where your character is finalized, I changed my birthsign. When I got out of the screen I got thrown around and flailed around for a few seconds before I got back up.

I was doing the Dark Brotherhood quest where you are to kill retired imperial guard dude in Leyawiin. I was following him, waiting for him to take his swim and he entered the guardhouse just outside the city. I decided to enter the building even though it was locked up. Inside was the dude with his bodyguard and some other guy that stays there. I walked up and attacked the guy, and all of a sudden the other two attack him also. I ran into one of the rooms and watched as he was killed by his own bodyguard.

One interesting glitch thing was when I was at the fort south east of the camp where the people got driven out by goblins, I was fighting a bandit archer who wore some nice armour and had a mean enchanted bow, but when I shot her she fell backwards onto a small crack and slowly her body was forced together and she slowly slid down, I laughed for a moment but quickly realised I forgot to loot her..

I was in the hilly area east of IC. I spot a rat just above me on a hill and draw my shortsword. The rat leaps, flies over my head and lands further down the road. I spin around intent on killing and wonder why the rat is suddenly rolling down the slope, apparently it was a suicidal rat. :lol:

that sounds like you changed from a sign that would give you alot of fatigue (lady, warrior) to something that may give none

I once dropped a perfect madness helmet in my house and it stayed in mid air!

Once I put the fork of horipilation in a display cabnit and the next day i found it in the wall!!!!!

When I entered the shivering isles I talked to shelden and ran up with him to see the getekeeper fight...
When I went up the gatekeeper was just standing there and the aventurers were too!!
Now when i go to passwall the adventurers are loitering around town!!

If anyone has encountered the glitch were u go into an autosaving cell and it autosaves then u turn ur system off and go back on and all the flags on ur stolen items are gone, plzz tell me what system your on and what patches you have and if its GOTY of not!

TYVM!

I'm doing the Boots of Springheel Jak quest right now. When I went to get the key from Earl what's-his-name, I accidentally pickpocketed him. Apparently he didn't like that, though, because as soon as I went down into the catacombs, an Imperial guard was on my tail. He immediately freaked at the sight of the vampires and started to fight them, so I sneaked into a corner, sat back and watched. He killed three vamps and a dog, stood staring at a wall for a few minutes, then walked out, pausing to touch all the bodies (including the dog) and mention that there may be a killer on the loose.

Now I'm scott free, and he kindly killed half of my opponents for me. :D

I had this weird glitch when I loaded my game up. I couldn't move! I could jump in place as well as 'turn' with the right stick. But I couldn't move(run/walk), draw my weapon, cast magic, or block with my shield. I could go into sneak mode but only the eye icon would appear, and the character wouldn't crouch. I fixed it by reloading and clearing the cache upon start-up. Any idea what caused it?

A similar thing happened to me today, but that's because some update popped up and interrupted the game. When I cleared the update and brought up the Oblivion menu, my character could turn in place, but not walk. Stranger still, every NPC around me (I was in the Market District, so there were several) froze. The game was still working, I could bring up the journal and everything, but neither me nor any of the NPCs could move at all.

Luckily I had a recent autosave... :)

Well this isn’t a glitch as such but still quite funny. I was just chilling with Prior Maborel and Brother Piner at Weynon Priory and I was listening to them talk. Then suddenly Brother Piner said “Did you hear about the attack on the Anvil chapel? The priests and priestesses, murdered!” Then Prior Maborel said “By the Gods.” and Brother Piner replied by saying “Yes.”.

So by going by that conversation the Gods attacked their own chapel for no reason what so ever. 0_0

Here's a good one that happened to me. I'd done the Information At A Cost quest for the Mages' Guild and had gone back to Hassildor to see what he wanted to tell me. I deployed Hal-Liurz to go and get him and she simply didn't return, so I waited for an hour to see if she re-appeared. She didn't, but the Count was there so I spoke to him and got the information I needed. This obviously caused a scripting problem, because a while later I was exploring a fort in that Third World hellhole that is Blackwood and I turned round, and who should I see but Hassildor, seemingly having followed me all the way there from Skingrad...

Also doing Information at a Price, I got bored of waiting for Count Hassildor to come talk to me, so I broke into his quarters to see what he was doing. He happened to be hovering aroud two feet from his bed, his head facing toward his bed and his feet toward the far wall.

Talking to him did nothing, so I put on my new Gray Cowl and whacked him in the face. That got his attention. He stood up, squinted into the face of the fearsome Gray Fox, and began to give me the Mages Guild dialogue. He never even attacked me for the assault, nor did he mention the Gray Fox at all.

He did, however, ask that I leave his bedroom.

After finishing the quest, I stepped outside to grab my horse for the trek back to the Imperial City, when I spy an Imperial Legion horse trotting up the path, no rider in sight. I go up to it, and lo and behold, it talks! Yet another instance of the man-eating horse, I guess.

So I did the first mission of the Main Quest, got martin, had him fight through Kvatch with me...whatever, usual stuff. While in the count's quarters, he casts a lightning spell and hits one of the Imperial Legion Guards that are helping me. The other guards yell murderer and what not, but dont do anything. So after all is said and done, Martin and I make our way up to Weynon. I used fast travel cuz I hate hoofing it all the way up there with martin. Anyway, upon arriving at Weynon, and talking to Eronor, I see a whole mess of Chorrol guards from the Chorrol Hinterland UL mod, come running up. I was thinking SWEEET, they are here to help. I proceed to attack the MD and hear battle being done behind me. The other Prior comes running up and asks about Jauffre. We go to find him and I look behind me for Martin, who is doing battle with 4 guards. I guess murdering a legionairre caught up to him. I run over to help but martin falls unconscious, at which point all the guards walk away. Martin wakes up and I suppose is free from his bounty, cuz they havent bothered him since.

I once took Guilbert and Reynald Jermane into the Kvatch Oblivion gate with me. They pwned face.

I like to start fights in the Arcane University. So I attack an Imperial Battlemage and run into the University mage side. As the Scholars and Apprentices come running to kill the Battlemage, I pickpocket one of them and take his Mage's Robe. He had cast a summon greaves spell, so I could get it. After the battle was over I looted the guard and left. Upon my return, I see the same man I had pick-pocketed walking around with no clothes on, only a dagger in its sheath. It was an old man too. Apparently he had discovered unknown freedom without his robes, and had committed to living in this manner. It reminded me of a pervert.

I got one, apparently the legion foresters all hate each other's guts, and will attack each other on site. Once I saw three foresters and a troll attacking each other relentlessly, it got down to two foresters and they each killed the other with an arrow at the same time. On the same note, more than once I've found the corpse of a forester with a dozen silver arrows sticking out of him. :lol:

While waiting for--hopefully!--an answer to my question in the topic "Game Crashes After a Year" (please help if you can), thought I'd join in this topic.

One of my funniest moments happened just outside of Skingrad at dusk. You know how the guards are always saying things like "Move along" or "You have my ear, citizen"? Well, I was walking along the road and noticed several mead/ale bottles strewn along the road. Ahead was a Legion guard on horseback, going slowly. When I got close enough to trigger conversation the guard looked down at me and said "You have my beer, citizen..." I swear! :D

I was walking down the mountains from Bruma towards the imperial city, when I saw a minotaur. I figured it would be a pretty long fight since all I had was my trusty ebony bow and around 15 iron arrows. So I knocked one, pulled back and let it fly towards the minotaur. Then something I really didn't expect happened. As soon as the arrow hit the minotaur, it literally went flying. It looked like I launched a missile into it because it bent forward, and must have went flying at least a mile. Anyways, once I arrived at the IC, there was the minotaur, with an arrow in his stomach, right at the front door of the talos plaza district. When I shot him, he was just down the first hill on the path to bruma. It was nuts.

I saved my game, then decided to go on a killing spree, in the process I killed a guard and equiped his cape (from OOO) and then I decided to reload my saved game, when it loaded I was still wearing the cape and it wouldnt disappear until I unequipped my chest armor.
