When walking from Riverwood to Whiterun and looking at the trough of the world, the screen went all funny and glitchy.

When northwest of Riverwood, swimming in some water - all the water disappeared and I could "fly" in the water, which had no texture or graphics - until I swam like 200 metres to the west - then it came back. Was really awful looking :D

Another glitch. Killed a bear and he fell through the ground, not ever to return.

The most extreme glitch I had so far, was actually AMAZING. - I was fighting a Giant, and as he came close to me, and I was trying to shoot him with my bow he slams the ground beneath me, and I levitate, like in Morrowind when you get those scrolls - you know, and fly "dead" up into the air until it reloaded itself.

I saw an awesome one today during that 12 hours stream from gamespot where the guy playing jumped in the air just as a giant caught him with an uppercut with his club, and the guy's body shot 1000s of feet into the air.

Yeah, saw that in IGN's review video on YouTube. Also, flying mammoths. Pretty funny stuff. :)

Pretty sure that's not a glitch.

That's what happens when you get hit by a club the size of a tree, bro.

I made a thread about a rather amusing 'feature' of the game involving an interesting use of buckets.

I'm not 100% sure it's a glitch, it seems more like an unintentional side-effect of lateral thinking on the new NPC detection system to me, but here's the thread anyway just in case it qualifies :)

Glitches?

Post by Lord Elvewyn »

Is there somewhere to note glitches encountered? It's minor but I've noticed since remapping my R&F keys that the text down the bottom hasn't updated so I have to ignore it.

Yeah, I'm having this problem as well. I keep accidentally dropping stuff that I'm meaning to favorite... :oops:

Same as mentioned above, the water in Riverwood disappeared and I was swimming in air. Also it started raining and rain drop splashes were appearing on the riverbed.

Game keeps freezing at Whiterun Gates when I try to exit.

Funny thing is, I'm at the Greybeards quest, too.

I had one really early on! When the thief tries to run away and gets shot with arrows, they took him down, and then kept shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting.

I let it go on for a bit, cause I thought it was funny that they REALLY wanted him dead :D

Then I reloaded :D

One thing that would be more useful in this and some other threads is the system (PC, XBOX, PS3) that is being used...or are the glithches throughout all 3 systems?

When mining, double tapping of the x (or a for xbox) button, results in no mining action, the rock stays unmined,and can not be mined. Although, when mining another location the first one becomes mined too. It is unknown whether mining the second location gives you the loot from the first.

A rabbit started running from me and crossed a wild river :lol:

In one of the towns that look like a swamp in the snow, the guards were patroling in the water, it was like -10º celsius and they were on the water wearing skirts :mrgreen:

Playing on PC. First one was when I got off a horse. It was just some horse I found wondering in the wild, I guess its owner died or something. Anyway, I got off of it, and it just launched about 50 feet horizontally, and since I was on the slopes of a mountain, it fell pretty far and died. Haven't had that repeat.

Second one, and this might be something that needs to be fixed, I got stuck in a river because of the current. I was testing out swimming, and was enjoying the current, and came to rapids. I got pushed up against a rock, and couldn't move either way. I probably could have fast traveled, but I reloaded since I had just saved a minute ago.

You can't pick up books in the PC version. It's stupid. It's a blatantly obvious glitch that was completely ignored.

Goddamnit Bethesda.

Missing magical effects. If I for example would use Flares, my hand would have fire on it and the target would catch fire, but there's no fire stream. When dragons breathe fire they just yell at me and I randomly combust.

I got 2 funny / weird stories.

#1. I was on horse back West of Whiterun riding through the plains and off to my right I spotted 2 mammoths and a giant. Out of nowhere 1 of the mammoths flies vertically into the air about 300ft, hovers there for about 3-5 seconds and then plummets back to Earth. It landed upright on it's 4 legs and then let out a roar and falls over dead lol. I have no clue what caused it to happen. At first I thought maybe a dragon picked it up, but there was no dragon in sight.

#2. I set out to do the very first quest I excepted in Riverwood and as I arrived at the destination I was shot in the head with an arrow by a bandit. I played for about 11 hours yesterday and the arrow is still in my head. I really wish Lydia would just pull the damn thing out lol.

This is on the PS3.

Grabbing, or taking books? I have no problem taking books, so I have to assume you mean grabbing them since I haven't tried. I'm sure that's something that will be fixed.
