Solitude not loading when Dark Brotherhood Quest Bound Until Death Quest is active(PS3)
On the PS3 I aquired the quest "Bound Until Death" and when I went to Solitude to complete it the entire city would not load. This results in many people that were in the streets dieing from falling damage as there is no floor as well as my inability to complete the quest. Leaving and reloading did not fix the problem nor did restarting my PS3.

Save files not overwriting
On the Xbox 360 I have multiple save files that will not overwrite. If you tell it to overwrite it will still save, but it overwrites the save file one slot above the save you attempted to overwrite. The file that refuses to overwrite can still be deleted from the Save menu, though.

Blindsighted game freezes
during the cutscene with mercer taking the stones, he is not there either are the eyes. He will say one sentence and then the game doesn't progress. I have been sitting on the screen for 30 mins waiting.

Happened to me i paused then unpaused and it fixed itself

###########################################################

Ran into similar bug on PC, Mercer says his "Karliah when will you learn" line, picks up the eye from the big falmer statue, and never turns around or says anything further. Tried reloading a couple earlier saves, tried pausing/unpausing - nothing works.

Same thing Happened to me, he doesn't turn around and everyone else just stands still.

Having the EXACT same problem.

I had the same problem. How I solved it is I changed all my fades to maximum (display options) and it worked from that on (playing on ultra grafic settings)

Unable to map left hand
While fighting in Skyrim, I tried to block using the right mouse button but when I pressed it the system tab opened. So I checked the controls and two keys were mapped to system tab, escape and M2. I got rid of the second mapping for the system tab but now I'm unable to map any button to M2. It doesn't even show up in the list of controls.

Can't continue main quest line

I've been having a problem with Alvor. Instead of following the guy from the cave to Riverwood, I went back into the cave. I walked to Riverwood and talked to Alvor about all of his 5 dialogues, but the quest doesn't update. It still tells me to talk to Alvor. I don't know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated. :D

Main Questline Bug

Quest confliction between "Joining the Stormcloaks" and "Season Unending" stops both of these quests from being completed, to further the main quest.

Unable to change POV
After joining the Companions and turning into a werewolf I'm unable to change into first-person view.

This is not a glitch, it is meant to be this way while being a werewolf

Mining bug
Anyone else having problems when it comes to mining? All it does is make a clicky noise like im clicking on nothing. I have the same issue on the xbox but if you wield the pickaxe and swing at the deposite it mines it as well, also i find its faster

During starting quest, I've gotten 3 crash to desktops when you first find the bear if I chose to try and shoot her with a long bow.

You may have what ive been getting. When trying to mine veins of material my character will walk up to it, freeze, then back up, and after that it will not let me even try to mine the ore again. Can be fixed by reloading a save. 74.207.163.60 19:27, November 12, 2011 (UTC)BunkerRanger

I found out that this only happens when you press the activate button more than once on the ore, if you press it once then wait, you should start mining.

Forest Spriggan Glitch
Killed the green spriggan, reanimated it, it cast some kind of spell that sent me invisible and covreed me in a greenish haze, plus it sent a swarm of green bugs flyring around me that never ever leave.

This is exactly the same effect the spriggan has. I have no idea how to get rid of it, have removed all items and nothing still. Plz help!

possible workaround for The Forlorn Conspiracy, where the guy in the talos shirne is killed and it doesnt register, I hit a guard, served time in jail, came back and the quest continued for me

115.64.124.141 06:30, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

+ suggestion i would make is to go to the Shrine of Talos and activate it, the blessing should cure ALL diseases and status effects on you.

Golden Claw Dungeon Exit
Completing the dungeon fro Golden Claw quest, you drop down into a shrine with a single exit to the world map.

When using that exit, loading screen appears and stays, until I force close the game.

This happens every time.

 * Try going out a different way. Keep going until you obtain the word of power and kill the guardian (varies from person to person). Near there, theres' a lever, which opens a hidden door. Try that exit instead? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•See current projects 10:12, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

I'm having a few bugs. One of them is the fact that I got a dragon bounty quest from Whiterun. I finished it, but there was another marker too. I went to both markers and killed both dragons. I handed it in to Whiterun, but then apparently i still needed to hand it in at Dawnstar, to the Jarl. I did so, kept going, and died. When i came back the quest told me to hand it in. But i had saved after i did it just before. The mission is now stuck in my mission log and I am unable to do any bounty missions. I can't hand it into the jarl, the option to do so isn't there.

Anyone else having something similar?

Also, the Khajiit travelers that camp outside cities, their tents disappear sometimes, but the Khajiit stay...

Bards College:

During the Bards College quest, where you go and burn King Olaf during the festival, the leader walks up to the king with his torch and simply keeps on setting him on fire all the time, and this doesnt stop anymore, meaning that I'm stuck there.

I tried reloading, walking away, entering a building, but nothing helps.. I don't want my Bards missions to get stuck here :( ..

Does anyone else have this problem as well? It's on the PS3 version..

I hope to hear from anyone soon.

Best regards,

DDopeRR

Having exactly the same burning of King Olaf bug on PC version.

Gundy

Right hand disappearing
Sometimes when fast switching between dual-wielding spells and a spell in your left and sword in your right hand, the players right hand will just dissapear but you will still be able to use the spell. This is if you have the spell and sword as favourite and fast switch with the favourite mapped to any number 1-8

Skyrim for PC (XP). Continuous pausing of game as it loads new area when roaming outside. Same as Oblivion did.15.203.169.123 16:40, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

main quest
One of the main quest's Diplomatic Immunity I get to the party and can't enter the main door also I can't enter major citys like Riftal before the quest Diplomatic Immunity it diden't even let me enter Solitude it loads like..... forever don't know what to do any ideas.

If you attack the jarl in highmoon it will trigger a quest complete durring some parts of the main quest, resulting in not being able to progress to the next mission and both factions attacking you near towers in massive hoards

There is alot of main quest bugs that needs to be fixed. Im stuck at Esbren in riften. I talked to him, tough i cant hear his voice when he talks to me through the door and when im finished talking to him he is suposed to open the door and let me in. I can hear the noise of him unlocking his door but cant open the door. Ive tried reloading from diffrent places, some a couple of levels back. Dont know what to do since this is the main story.... Damn it!

79.112.70.227 I had the same problem with Esbren. There is a fix on pirate bay http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/6814878/Skyrim_Esbern_Voice_Fix.rar

Just put it in data. It worked wonders for me. If the door still doesn't open, just tipe tlc in the command line for no clip.

Stuck in cart during intro sequence
I'm getting stuck in the cart when they unload the prisoners at the beginning of the game. I can't move and no events trigger, making the entire game unplayable. I see that other people have the same issue here: http://answers.pubarticles.com/28142,skyrim-stuck-at-beggining-how-to-fix-.html

and here:

http://nz.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111112081450AAwhX4h

Does a new game work? If not, download a save game and put it in the right folder. You can find some on skyrim nexus, and i'm sure that someone would be willing to make a character you request and give you that save.

72.234.18.143 02:18, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Same issue on Xbox 360. Latest update applied. Happened three times. I restarted the console and it finally worked. If you have no dialogue during the cart ride it is glitched. Try a restart. New game doesn't work.

Companions Quests: Hired Muscle and Silver Hands
On 360~ SPOILERS

I have completed Imperial overthrow of Ulric Stormcloak and installed Brunwulf as king. But now doing Companion quests from Farkos I am supposed to intimidate Brunwulf. But there is no dialogue option to do so and beating him with weapons, or magic, or fists results in nothing.

After restart, I tried a different Companion quest from the Huntress. After killing a wolf in Riverwood, my next quest seems to be to be becoming a werewolf and taking out Silverhands. Seems like a big jump

1 Dead Dragon, 0 Absorbed souls...
Hey, I ran into this last night. In the area you fight the first Dragon for the quest given to you by the leader of whiterun. In the same area, I was randomly jumped by a dragon... And once I killed it, it sadly didn't give me his soul and his lifeless corpse just laid there. Anyone else have the same issue? And 2 minutes later I was jumped by another Dragon... and died. Rogue Sergeant (talk) 19:14, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

I had a similar issue, I was travelling and came across a frost dragon , when i killed it all the effects happened its skin burned up the swirling lights etc, etc, but i never absorbed the soul and never unlocked the next shout this has happened twice now , the first time i thought maybe i need more than one soul for the fire breath but it just wont unlock

Same for me. Killed a second dragon, absorbed the soul, but at the time I didn't have a new shout to unlock. I finally got the fire breath word, but it would not unlock. I checked my stats and it showed, 2 souls aborbed, 2 shouts found, but only 1 unlocked.

Me as well, killed frost dragon, no burn up, no soul, just a big dead worm.

On the Xbox 360 I have multiple save files that will not overwrite. If you tell it to overwrite it will still save, but it overwrites the save file one slot above the save you attempted to overwrite. The file that refuses to overwrite can still be deleted from the Save menu, though.

I noticed this happened to me twice already, and I noticed that the 2 times it happened, it was because another dragon was also still attacking me (Yes, 2 dragons at the same time, lucky me *gulp*)

ANSWER:You need to unlock the Shouts with the R button if you changed it you have to set it back due to a bug with changeing hard coded keys, theres a mod on the Skyrim Nexus to fix this tho.

The top one is most likly a bug.

Spells and dragon breath not showing up
From the beginning of the game, spells like flame did not show anything. They still dealt damage, and lit the environment on fire/froze the ground, but the stream of energy that i assume was supposed to be there never was. Dragon breath is the same, still does damage but i cant see it. also frost breath voice. This makes some spells, like clairvoyance, useless. Odd thing is that the beam of light from the birthsign stone didnt appear, but lightning spells do. As far as i can tell, this is confined to fog type things. spells like ice shard are fine. i have found a few other occurrences of this problem, so i'm not just crazy. i tried looking through the graphics settings, but i couldnt find anything that looked like it was related. any help would be greatly appreciated, my first character was going to be a mage, but this was annoying enough that he became a two handed warrior instead.

On PC Saving and reloading your game generally fixes this bug, it's pretty common Jester Spearmann (talk)

24.144.47.131 00:00, November 13, 2011 (UTC)good intention quest bug
In the Whiterun Mage's College

I have started the Mage's College quests but I believe I have found a bug with the quest called, "good intentions". I am supposed to talk with Ancano(spelling) and follow him, but whenever I talk to him he won't lead or do anything--thus I am unnable to continue the quest.

Main Quest: Way of the Voice

Targets do not appear as the quest indicates, the Greybeards continue to only summon purple auras without the target appearing.

68.110.253.28 00:10, November 13, 2011 (UTC) D Pennesi

have you tried re loading a previous save and restarting the game?

72.234.18.143 01:57, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

I've had the same bug, tried restarting no success.

Press start after they cast the aura and it should show up. Weird!

Pressing start after the empty aura appears is confirmed to work!

Battle for Whiterun throne room bug
81.82.133.92 01:05, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

(PC - XP) During the quest "Battle for Whiterun" while fighting for the Stormcloaks, after forcing the Jarl to surrender by defeating him in battle and he sais he needs a few hours to gather his household to leave, the conversation doesn't start. I've seen the scene on Youtube after considering it was a bug and in my game, the old man (Vignar Gray-Mane) enters the throne room but makes no effort in doing any dialogue, he just stands there at the door.

The two Stormcloaks with me in the room also still have their weapons drawn, which they would sheathe in the next part of the dialogue.

I've tried to wait a few hours, up to 24 hours, left and re-entered the room and when I quick traveled somewhere it sais the quest failed and that's not exactly what I want.

I have also tried to re-do the fight about 14 times in different ways (I have a save right in front of the door, before the whole fight) to see if it bugged out because of the way he was struck down or the way any fighting would be done while he told everyone to stand down. No changes.

I hope someone can help me with this, perhaps with a console command to trigger the conversation or so? Would be very grateful...

As far as I know, the console commands are mostly the same as oblivion. tcl, tgm, additem, etc. still work. so you would want setstage. unfortunately you still need the quest id and the stage number of what you are trying to advance to. I don't know how to find the number, but i think you need the cretion kit to get it, which is not out yet. either wait for that, look around to see if somehow some has found this id, or try reloading a save a while back to see if the problem was caused by something you did recently.

72.234.18.143 02:02, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Having this exact same problem, would love if anyone could figure it out.

Same here. Tried it ~10 times w\o success. Gray-Mane stands at the door, doing nothing but talking about some damn bards singing songs, the Jarl is demanding a few hours to gather his household and leave, and if i fast-travel, the quest fails.

Dead Companions Crash Weddings
Basically, I accidentally hit Lydia while she was down, and then she died. At the time, I just looted her corpse and moved on, but when I decided to marry someone (in my case Derkeethus ), as soon as the ceremony starts, all the guests show up, including Lydia's dead body (Maybe she was a good friend and I invited her?). I'm not sure if it was because I was the one that killed her, or if it just had to do with her spawing due to an event I caused (the wedding ceremony), but everyone basically started hating me, and my spouse ran off, telling me that I should just leave.

Here's a video on youtube of essentially the same problem, only different spouse and companion: video here

Silver Hand/ Proving honor bug
I got both "the silver hand" and "proving honor" quests from Skjor in Jorrvaskr. I first did the silver hand quest, you find Skjor dead at the end of it. Then if you do proving honor, the last step is "return to Jorrvaskar" and the marker is on Skjor's corpse at gallows rock. You cant talk to his corpse to finish the quest.

I resolved the problem by using "player.placeatme 0001A690" to place a copy of Skjor at me... but that solution would only work for PC 209.105.129.152 04:00, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Xbox360 Magic menu in Markarth
Without spoiling anything, after a brawl outside the Warrens, I can no longer access the magic menu without the game freezing.

I suspect it has something to do with the brawl script that empties the player's hands, but a) this isn't my first brawl, and b) I obviously have no way to check the script.

Even after going through loading doors the problem persists.

In some rivers the water is invisible at parts. This happened near the swampy forest area northwest of Reach (or inside Reach) You can still hear the sounds and swim in it, but you will only see ground. 24.113.193.203 07:06, November 13, 2011 (UTC)JohnSmitty

Dead companions will continue to follow you despite lying face down on the floor, it is still possible however to open dialogue options and even get them to hold your gear. Fast traveling may not always work though a save and reload fixed the issue. (PS3)

I am having the same issue but on a different quest. the one where u need to refocus the crystals with flame or frost. if i attempt to open my magic (XBOX360) menu the game freezes. tried reloading earlier saves and it works untill i get the tome of frost book...making the quest impossible to complete since i have no frost spell favorited.

Bounty Mission Glitch
I'm having a few bugs. One of them is the fact that I got a dragon bounty quest from Whiterun. I finished it, but there was another marker too. I went to both markers and killed both dragons. I handed it in to Whiterun, but then apparently i still needed to hand it in at Dawnstar, to the Jarl. I did so, kept going, and died. When i came back the quest told me to hand it in. But i had saved after i did it just before. The mission is now stuck in my mission log and I am unable to do any bounty missions. I can't hand it into the jarl, the option to do so isn't there.

Anyone else having something similar?

Ebony Helmet of Destruction. It has a 20% reduction to the cost of destruction magic. However it doesn't work with a spell being dualcast (I have dualcast and stagger). Not sure if this is true for all spell cost reduction.

Ignore the dualcasting bug. When I restarted my game it was fine.

permanent arrows in body once hit
for some reason when i get hit by arrows, one or even two stay there and wont dissappear like they should. no idea how to stop this apart from restarting the entire game.................................... They will disappear after an hour or two

~ZacharyTylerDewey~ if you go and rest then they should go away, i had one in the dead center of my chest and i couldn't figure it out until i slept and when i woke up i check a couple times in 3rd person and it was gone and i havent had it happen since.

PC Fix: Tap ` (Tilde key) and type in the command "sexchange". This will refresh your character's body, giving it the look of the opposite sex without actually changing your sex. What you get would be a man with a very nice chest and a small waist. By typing in the command again, your character will refresh and return to it's original sex, without any of the arrows stuck within you.

tl;dr tap `, type in sexchange, tap again, then redo command.


 * Yeah, the arrows will disappear after a while. I had this "issue" too, where I thought it was going to be permanent, but luckily after a while the arrow vanished :)

Can't use cart to fast travel between cities.
When I talk to the driver of a fast-travel cart and choose a location he will not take money, but he will say that I should get up on the back. When I do that nothing happens.

I was able to use the cart once or twice in the beginning and since then nothing was able to fix the problem (restarts, save/load, different carts in different cities).

This is because of your carry weight. If you've over-encumbered (Yes, I'm looking at you, Mr TGM), the cart wont go.

Markarth: The House of Horrors Quest
After entering the Abandoned House, and finding the locked basement door, vision goes wonky, stuff starts flying around and earth shattering rumbles shake the screen (and controller). At this point, the way out should be locked, and an ominous voice is supposed to tell you to kill your companion. For me there was no voice, the door out was not locked and my companion just stood there saying "There's no way out". I spent a long time searching for a key that didn't exist under extremely difficult conditions.

If I left the house, the vision effect, shaking screen and controller vibration continued (for the rest of the game, as far as I can tell, making it unplayable). If I killed the guy (I only knew to do that from the wiki) the evil voice began and I could continue down to the Daedric Altar. But, after finishing there, the way out IS locked, and there is no way to continue. Cost me about an hour's progress and 2 level ups going back to a previous save - extremely frustrating! Save often and especially before going in this house!

--

The same thing happened to me except i don't keep random saves lying around and my autosaves were full of me in the house, lost a lvl 14 character for this bug, if anyone figures out how to fix it lemme know

Freezing
Im trying to complete the quest at the mage college and once en-route to get the Staff of Magnus the game keeps freezing!!! i've tried this a dozen times and it wont let me get any further no matter where i go or what i do. I'm only a level 11....this is total crap! Bethesda really messed this one up!!! TraciCarol67.142.168.143 18:11, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

I am having the exact same problem. I am level 10. I can't even get out of the dungeon either so I'm basically stuck until someone releases a patch.

I can solved this bug, command your companion to walk pass the door where it freeze then close and open the door. Then try to walk pass that point. Atleast it worked for me. :)

ice bear bonechill desktop crash skyrim
facing the ice bear in bonechill cave makes the game crash to desktop here, this is an objective for the companions.

95.96.10.232 15:18, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

EDIT:

The problem is that the bear is too fat and cant get trough the narrow cave entrance, this prolly makes the game crash to desktop. For example; if the player hears the bear it wil probably crash because the bear will investigate the location where the player is messing around.

The solution for this is facing the opposite side of the bear, not loading him until you are trough the narrow cave.

Main Quest - Ulfric Bug
The quests "Joing The Stormcloaks" & "Season Unending" stop me from talking to Ulfric, he says you have to complete "Joing The Stormcloaks" but you can't talk to Galmar either, he says a piece of dialog relating to "Season Unending" Any ideas how to fix?

This bug has already been mentioned. BUT! It wasn't fixed?

Oh sorry, I thought someone had a topic on this talk page about it, which would have meant you should just post there. But it seems that it was only on the main page. I haven't gotten that far along yet, but can someone confirm that not everyone has this problem? Has anyone gotten past this?

Just make sure when you get one of the quests you complete it straight away.

im having this problem as well i cant continue the main story line or that story line im done with the companions darkbrotherhood mages college and thieves guild quests

Same problem here, cant talk to Ulfric "Galmar gave you a quest to do, so go do it" and then when I speak to Galmar I get "I can't believe you got Ulfric to speak with the empire" ( Or something like that). Looking forward to a patch to address this... I was really getting into the Main Quest. H3ADLY (talk) 05:28, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

I had this same thing happen. I can't join the imperial legion because I just talked to them about meeting with the greybeards for the peace treaty, and I can't join the stormcloacks because of this glitch. Oh and I can't continue the main quest either. Is this something that will be patched or should I load a previous save and replay like 8 hours worth of gameplay?

Thief in Riften

While playing on the PC, I've recently found myself plagued by a random thief in Riften who just runs around randomly, doing essentially nothing. The thief is occasionally a corpse as well, and each iteration of this thief has the exact same items, dead or alive. However I've also found that after he started appearing I experience massive FPS lag when any lighting effect comes on screen. The only solution I've found thusfar is to restart the client, but that is merely temporary.

XBOX 360 --- Can't get upgraded thieves armor
'''After being initiated to the thieves guild and gaining the first armor. if you sell it to tonilia and do the next few thieves guild quest then when it comes to getting the upgrade for the armor there is no way of buying it back and no way to get the new armor. also meaning that there is an endless quest stuck in the quest menu.'''

NO FIX ON 360 YET :(

Can't continue "The Way of the Voice" quest in the PS3 version of the game. The "Speak to Arngeir" objective remains uncompleted, even after using your shout.

Forsworn Bug
I have just killed Nepos and got the quest marker to go find Eltrys. I go back to the temple and theres 2 guards and a legionnaire, also Eltrys is dead. the Legionnaire talks to me sayssomething about joining the legion and then leaves. Nothing else happens i can loot Eltrys corpse (good loot too). I think im supposed to get framed for his murder but it just isnt working.

Is it possible this is being caused by not having seen anyone from the legion yet? Just checked its not...

although i found a temp fix sort of open the console (with ~) and first type in "setstage ms01 100" without the quotes. This will complete The Forsworn Conspiracy.

Then, type in "setstage ms02 0" in jail to start the next quest.

Steel Helmet Bug
Suddenly all steel helmets have become transparent and the characters head appeares partially bald underneath. This bug only seems to apply to steel helms, and I have verified all my files through steam to check they hadn't been messed up.

Crash when Attacking
I've been playing the game since the Release without a Single Crash. Then i go to start the Game, Load my save, and whenever i swing my Weapon (Sword, Axe, etc..) it crashes mid-swing. I've tried loading previous saves, and it still happens. Any help would be appreciated!

~16 Nov 2011~

(PC) I'm also having this same problem, although not with that level of predictability. Normaly every couple of hours, in the middle of a fight, the game will crash to desktop. Aside from being during combat it seems to be entirely unpredictable in my case.

Unable to join thieves guild (Multi platform)
After placing the ring in pocket successfully unable to speak with Brynjolf in Red Flaggon succesfully. The game continues as if he is still giving his speech in the marketplace. I googled this problem and it seems others are having it also: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/60986171

Additionally I continued with a different save file he made it to the Red Flaggon then immediately returned to the area giving his speech. The next quest where you have to follow him (after collecting debts quest) is impossible as he refuses to move from speech stand. Making it worse now all the traders are permanently stuck listening to him and will not allow me to trade.

Few things which I believe may have caused the bug: FlyMasterG (talk) 00:13, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Asking him to begin the distraction at night
 * 2) Visiting the Red Flaggon before completing this quest
 * 3) Speaking to him about successfully placing the ring before he finishes his speech

Regain Winterhold hold bug
I found the camp but when I talked to Rikke to start the quest the dialogue isnt there, I have tried every thing (If more details needed let me know) User:JediSpectre117 00:01, November 14, 2011 (UTC) Edit: Unsure if it is a bug, did the truce and got Winterhold for empire other captures there where no problems, so probably have to do the truce in the main quest first.

EDIT: I have the same problem, and i already finished the main storyline. -Blackout

2 bugs
I don't even know where to begin as there are 2 bugs I am reporting. First, I have noticed that my character, seems to have arrows permanently stuck in her. It only happened after I became a vampire, which I didn't realize I was infected til way earlier in my game saves. Second, I just killed a named dragon that was raised by Alduin and fast traveled to sell, then fast traveled back nearby and all of a sudden, he was back, but invisible and the only way I could kill him was cause my house-carl was shooting at it and I could tell when it landed. After killing this invisible reincarnation it didn't give me a new dragon soul. This has to be some sort of bug. EDIT: I have since cured my vampirism and it made the permanent arrows disappear. I believe that bug to be linked to vampirism.

PS3 New Game Crash
After installing the patch & installing the game itself, I loaded up to the menu, where I clicked New Game. It then went to the loading screen, and quickly showed a man falling down and dying. Then it went back to the loading screen for about a second and returned to the main menu. I've found a number of message boards and Yahoo! Answers that depict the same exact problem for PS3 users. WTF BETHESDA. Quality Control your games -- didn't you learn from Fallout 3 & New Vegas?

Shrouded Cowl (mask) Bug
Okay! Let's start off. I'm a Nord going for a stealthy class. So I say why not go with dark brotherhood I'm sure they'd give me some good equipment for a stealth role. I eventually got to there hideout and the women who you first in encounter ( can't remember her name but she ask you to kill one of the 3 people) gives you a complete set of the Shrouded armor. Excited I stripped off my current armor and equiped it. I paned around my character to see what the frontal view looked like. I noticed my Nord did'nt have a mask like the women did. I checked around the santurary to see if there were diffrent versions. Apparently there were. There was a couple of "unmasked" shrouded cowls. I got confused because the one that was given to me didnt have the parentheses around it. I tried reloading to see if it was a minor loading glitch but it did'nt work. My Nord has a bit of scruff is it the facial hair that has the problem or should I just try and keep reloading?

Ion Nightinggale- You only have the mask if your a female.

soroth - Well that's just plain silly. Are there any mods to fix that issue out yet?66.68.203.95 18:26, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Whiterun Gate bug
After escaping Helgan my character follows the story in riverwood but after that when traveling to whiterun, no guard appears to open the gate. Help please?

MySkyrimGuy: Can't you just enter the town normally through the main gate?

Invisible Ghost-Dragon Glitch
Was completing the first set of contracts for the Dark Brotherhood, and was near Windhelm to kill Ennodius Papius. Spotted a dragon in the distance and discovered it was Alduin working his magic on a burial mound. Killed the new-revived dragon and went on my way. Later, I was passing through the area when I saw Alduin at the burial mound again. After he left, a single hostile contact appeared on my compass with typical dragon battle-music. A health bar appeared with the name of the dragon I had killed there earlier (can't remember for sure, started with 'V'). Gouts of fire came from nowhere along with dragon roars. Going by sound and estimation, I managed to shoot the ghost-dragon down, hack him to death, and even search his invisible corpse. I did not receive a soul however.

Has anyone else had run-ins with Ghost-Dragons near burial sites? (NOTE: this was on 360 with the game installed to hard drive.)  Captain Baird  Comm-LinkService Record 02:53, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Magicka Regen
Magicka Regen

I'm not sure if this is a bug (Maybe) but I want to bring it to peoples attention.

I've been levelling my enchanting skill and I'm now at 92, so I can increase my Fortify Magicka Regen enchanting skill, but I have just realised it is switching back to default Regen speeds in battle.

Which almost defeats the purpose of Fortify Magicka Regen. I am wearing the Archmage Robes and Malekhai (Spelling Unsure) Dragon Priest Mask and the effects are defiantly noticeable out of battle. I am hopping it is a bug.

I have heard also that if you Fortify Destruction (Reduce Magicka Cost) by 25% on 4 pieces of armour it completely negates the Magika cost all together??

MitchGeek


 * I've noticed some regen slowness too - But I have noticed an improvement with the Arch Mage robes and the Molokei Dragon Mask equipped - Not much, but better than nothing. I havent noticed any particular difference between combat speeds and non-combat, but it just seems slow overall. The creators wouldnt have made it possible to have unlimited magicka - especially with spells like Lightning Storm - which is like a gattling gun. I would say that if a Spell has base cost of 25 per second, then a 25% decrease in cost would result in a Minus 6.25 cost, a further 25% decreaes would probably result in diminishing returns- minus 4.68 magicka cost etc. I could be wrong like - only way to find out, is to test it - use the console, spawn some items with the stats you need, and bobs yer uncle.Baaleos (talk) 11:42, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Frozen wife/follower
So I have Brelyna Maryon as my wife and as my follower, and I just completed the Mzulft quest for the college of winterhold. After finishing the quest, I went back to my house in Whiterun, where i had my other follower, Lydia. I took some equipment off of Brelyna and dissmissed her so i could give the stuff to Lydia. But after dismissed her she glitched and started saying "How long do you think we can make this work?" And of course, being the idiot i am, I saved before i realized she was glitched. So now all she ever says is that same line and I cant interact with her anymore. Does anyone have any problems similar to this?

Find the Copy of Remanada Bug
I was sent to find a word wall in some ruins and looted a chest that had a copy of Remanada in it. Unknowingly I looted it and then picked up a quest from the College to go find the same book. The quest will not update nor can I drop the book back in the chest to loot it again since it's a quest item. I cannot complete the quest.

*** Had this happen to me with the "Brothers of Darkness" book quest, which sends you to pick it up from a giant's camp, problem is I picked it up before ever taking the quest, so the marker kept pointing at the chest.

This is when PC came in handy (If you're not on PC, I'm sorry...), I started experimenting with console commands:

- Spawning a new "Brothers of Darkness" in the chest or my inventory didn't work, since they weren't tagged as quest items.

- Attempted to disable/enable the chest, to see if the inventory would reload, no go.

- Thought about advancing quest through console, but being a misc quest I couldn't find the refID.

- THIS WORKED: player.dropitem refID 1, and then picking it back up again (dropitem seems to be the only way of DROPPING a quest item. Remove just deletes it, forever, and spawning it again is no good, since it isn't tagged as quest item) *** /EmpyJ

old ways book
(PC&PS3) When i killed the vampire Movarth in an earlier quest, i found a book called The Old Ways. When i went to the college the Orc in the library gave me a quest to get him a that book and handed me a note saying it was in the lair of the vampire i killed. i still had the book in my inventroy but it wouldn't let me give it to him. i tried to go back to Movarth"s lair and look in the chest but the quest marker keeps pointing to the chest no matter what.

Arcane Enchanter, Character gets stuck
Sometimes at the Arcane Enchanter altar when exiting your character will get stuck in 1st person and cannot switch camera modes or move. Saving the game while your stuck and reloading will not fix it.

Saving, closing the game, re-opening the game and loading the game I saved, fixed it for me. I also noticed the problem is when trying to rename the item you're enchanting.

Reloading the game did not work for me. However, to fix the situation, I opened the console command (press tilde), turned on noclip (command is tcl), then turned it off (same command). Issue was fixed. PC Version.

Random purple/blue-like colored textures
Sometimes randomly trees, certain npc armor, certain items in inventory preview, ect. will beome textureless and have a blueish/purpleish color. Restarting the game fixes the issue, but it happens often.

Speak to Esbern - After Epilogue
My Journal says to speak to him, but when I speak to him, he just says some random generic stuff, walks off, and the item doesnt leave my journal. The only person in Skytemple or where-ever it is, that does enter into a meaningful conversation with me, is that woman Delphine, but she is just rabbitting on about how Parathuurax deserves to die - I dont wana kill the poor dragon.

The quest Revealing the Unseen sometimes will not trigger the next quest in the series, leaving a corpse outside instead of the character you're supposed to find. Cause unknown.

Golden Claw Cannot finish quest
Hi all

I have completed the dungeon and optained the claw, but only did so when overhearing the bandits. When I try to return the claw to owner he just keeps telling me it has been stolen. Can't find a way to hand it back, it this a dreaded out of order task type bug ? ie didn't do things in right order or am i missing something. Solved the door puzzle without looking at hand so is that the step i missed. Did it by process of elemination

Thanks

Rob

Yes, Rob. You can not give the Claw back to the shopkeeper until you use it in a different quest that requires it. Once you have completed THAT quest, it will allow you to return the stolen claw. It messed me up too.75.109.118.115 22:20, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Thief's guild quest
I'm playing to the french version of Skyrim, and after finishing a quest of the thief guild, the one which we have to steal a sale act of the honey farm and burn 3 bee houses, we have to talk to Brynjolf. This one says that we have to talk to Maven Black-Briar but the quest doesn't appear in the quest journal and Maven doesn't want to talk to us

I'm also having the same problem, tried reloading a previous save from before ending the last quest with no luck.

This is extremely frustrating.

Stuck in a Falmer Tent - 360
Whilst completing the thieves guild mission where you follow merver with your two compainions. I attacked a Falmer coming out of his tent, ended up inside and can't leave. It's as if there is an invisible wall infront of the exit. Tried using whirlwind shout/sprinting/jumping/sneaking/power attack/general combat to try and get out, none of which worked. So I called the Technical Support team, who suggested that I reset the cache on my 360 but that it probably wouldn't fix the problem and that if it consisted I would "just have to restart the game and forget about my character".

Moral of the story - be aware of tents.

Massive lag/slowdown if leaving a building at the same time as an NPC
This has happened to me twice on windows 7 x64 Vaio laptop with GeForce 330M GPU (1GB VRAM).

Lag/slowdown continues into the menus after hitting tab. If I go to my windows desktop and then back into game the problem is gone.

This has happened after reaching the first town at night in the main story. I broke into a character's home, tried to pick-pocket them, was caught, and pursued outside. Once outside everything was broken.

The second time was after entering the building where I met up with the dude that helped escape the dragon. After leaving the building, said NPC left the building at the same time, and the slowdown was there again.

Some of the doors that normally shouldn't be locked in Solitude is always locked at expert level!

Some of them are The Winking Skeever, The Blue Palace, Hall of the Dead and The Temple of the Divines. It's starting to be quite a problem because I have several quests inside both Hall of the Dead and The Blue Palace.

Vampire stats wont go away!!!
So I have been everything I can for the past 3 days to cure my vampirism since absolutly nothing just worked until recently I noticed I wasnt a vampire anymore (YAY!?) because the days dont count anymore wich I have been a vampire and the game console also says im NOT a vampire. But I still have ALL of the pros and cons of being a full vampire including the one wich makes the game unplayable wich is being attacked by every single person. I tried removespell command and type in the id of all abilities I gain of being a vampire but they just wont go away. If im being chased by civilians they say GO AWAY VAMPIRE DIE VAMPIRE DIE" so im really confused now. In-game everyone thinks im a vampire. Console and general stats menu says im no longer a vampire. Really.. Anyone out there who can help me fix this? The person who finds a way to deal with this problem.. I owe you a big one. Blackpsyops (talk) 18:55, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Arrow, Horse, Dragon Souls and invisible people
A couple of bugs/glitches i faced while playing on the PS3

First of some areas (e.g) the start of the game where you are on the cart heading to the pow camp, it lags slightly. I noticed in some areas the game lags, which is weird since they were supposed to design it for xbox and ps3 systems.

Secondly, when my character is hit by an arrow it stays stuck in him for like hours it doesnt go. At first i thought you had to maybe repair the aromor to get it off, but thats not the case.. many people have faced this issue.

then theres the problem of the horse, it can climb anything lol, even if it cant be climbed the horse will climb that mountain lol if you keep riding into it... this might be good to have.. dont remove it lol

i killed a couple of dragons and got souls and it wouldnt let me unlock shouts, kept saying dragon sould required... even though i have 2 souls ### Have had the same problem occur on PC have killed 5 dragons but got no unlocks

sometimes your follower is invisible and people who talk to you, youre constantly looking around wondering where the heck are they talking from!!!

also even if a guard is on the other side of town, he can see you stealing even when no one is around.trust me i checked and i am a adept theif etc.. and i know what i am doing... fyi..

well thatts all for now... i hope you fix some of it..

Andur won't take the Amulet of Arkay (PS3)
I spoke with Andur in the Hall of the Dead in Whiterun and it kicks off misc quest to recover the Amulet of Arkay for him.

Problem is, I already acquired it elsewhere (don't recall when and where). So I went through the motions anyhow, killed a few skeletons, poked around and returned to Andur. When I speak with him it doesn't bring up a dialogue and I don't give up the amulet.

I'm guessing this is a bug/glitch with the game. I had poked my nose into the Hall early on but didn't do anything and didn't speak with Andur or anyone else there.

I'm hoping there will be a patch for this or I will have the quest outstanding throughout.

(Turns out I was hasty in this. There are actually more than one of these gems, despite what Andur said. I found the one in question and am able to complete the quest.)

Solution found on internet, with thanks to Dishty:

Markarth Bounty Glitch
Following the Forsworn Conspiracy quest. The Markarth guards will not take you to jail or let you pay the fine. The dialog just repeats and they will only fight you. The bounty will only increase if you fight back. The theives guild method does not work with this either. If this happens early in the game like mine, it makes every quest in Markarth almost impossible to complete.

This has been the most troubling of glitches I've had yet, hope it gets patched soon.

I'm having this too.. even using cheats i can't pay the fine

186.204.180.57 02:12, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

same problem here... don't want to load an old save game, I finished several questlines ( darkbrotherhood, mages guild etc.) since I aquired that bounty, tried using console even, but the bounty won't dissapear.

I'm also having the exact same problem, I have a bounty of 6000 gold in Markarth now and I can't pay it, and any attempt to go near Markarth results in immediate attack by the guards or being accosted and given that same looping dialogue. Even removing the bounty using the console has no effect. I can only suspect that whatever script is supposed to remove your bounty and make the guards act normally again upon completion of 'nobody escapes Cirna mine' is broken.

Hired Muscle (PC)
I convinced the guy to leave the mines, but the quest marker stays on him and goes to Markarth and hangs out at the Inn. But recently he disappeared and the quest marker is still where he's located, so I'm not able to continue any Companion quests.

Tsesugu on Steam

Xbox 360 follower Lydia stuck in Shalidor's Maze.
I completed Shalidor's Maze and got the Shout, etc, but every time I try to leave, Lydia stays behind. I can't fast-travel from the location. I tried asking her to return to Whiterun, then went there myself: she wasn't there. Went back to Shalidor's Maze: she's still there. Exited and reentered multiple times, asked her to stay/go home then follow again multiple times, all no good: she won't leave.

69.8.25.168 20:43, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Possible solution found: Leaving Lydia in Shalidor's Maze, I went to my house in Whiterun. As I was going to sleep the night she ran up to me, and has followed me out the door.

~ZacharyTylerDewey~ i had that problem with the guy following me, i told him to wait and then after i think 2 days he wasn't where he was stuck and i went back to the shrine of mara and he was there. maybe that will work for you, not the same place or character so i dunno.

Stop Talking to Me!!!!
I use an XBox 360. During the Joining the Companions, immediately after going to the courtyard to "fight" Vilkas continues to automatically engage in conversation with me. He follows me around, including out of the town. As soon as he is close enough, the dialogue options opens. I led him into a giant camp, where thankfully, he went down and I ran off into the night. As soon as I got back to town, there he is, chasing me down again to talk.

His speech interrupts and overrides any conversation going on, and as soon as I back out of the dialogue, he begins again immediately.

I was able to lead him far away from town, and Whirlwind "sprint" back to give his sword to Greymane, but as I was trying to get the shield, there he was, interrupting the other NPC and taking over the conversation.

Any ideas how to shut this guy up?75.109.118.115 22:18, November 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * To fix this, press Start. Go to General Stats. Go to Crime, and go to the cities you have a bounty on. If Vilkas is still following you, beat his health down and he will not die, but fall to the ground allowing you to fast travel. Fast travel to the cities, pay off your bounties, and Vilkas will leave you alone.

Farkas and Vilkas glitch
This is on the 360: Farkas and Vilkas keep following me, and then talk to me. If I stay too close, they'll keep starting conversations with me every second or two, after exiting out. If I attempt to walk away, they'll follow me. Sometimes, when I go to sleep in the game, it won't let me, because it says "You cannot sleep while guards are pursuing you" or something close to that.

I took Farkas to battle a dragon with me, and after a few buggy conversations and commands, he stopped. However, Vilkas wouldn't stop, and the only way I could sleep was to kill him. Vilkas wouldn't attack me back for some reason.

Does anyone know why this glitch happens, and how to make it stop without killing anyone?

Waters of Oblivion book
I've been given a quest by someone in the Mages guild to recover a book called the Waters of Oblivion. However I've already got it, but the quest marker is directing me back to the cave where I found it. The quest giver won't take it, and I can't even drop the book anywhere. Looks like this has happened for several of these 'fetching books' quests.

Sinding Back From The Dead
After completing I'll Meet By The Moonlight, Sinding reapeared just walking down the road. In the quest I chose to kill him, so why is he still here? He doesn't start conversation, but says "hello and good day" just like any other NPC. This happened while I was doing the quest A Daedra's Best Friend. Anyone know why this happened?

'Blood's Honor' Companions Quest-line Glitch
After completion of 'Blood's Honor', you return to Jorrvaskr to hand in your quest to find that the Silver Hand has attacked. After entering, you will recieve completion of your quest from Vilkas, after the dialogue, there is no option to start the new quest; breaking the Companions story-line from progressing. Confirmed many times on (PC, 360) Also occurs on PS3.

I had this happen to me. Then I noticed the place where the next quest is supposed to happen, is the same place where the Jarl of the magic city sends you to get a crown.

If you don't do the crown quest before "Blood's Honor", you get bugged.

(Which once again proves the "Misc > Side > Main" priority is still around :D)

Honeyside Mannequin
Once you own Honeyside in Riften and have purchaced the set whith the mannequins, they will some times disapear and reaper in the stair well leading to the basement.

This can be solved (not proven to be a lasting effect) by going to the base where the mannequin is saposed to be and placing an item of clothing on it thus reseting its cords.

If your stuck up stairs then try exiting and entering the building several times and try to get past the mannwquin obstical so you can perform the above.

There's a glitch in my game that the first unscripted dragon I killed keeps falling out of the sky at random moments and in random places, and his body just sits there. Its not even a skeleton, which is how he looked the last time I saw him; he has all his skin and everything. The first time I saw it happen he fell from the sky down a water fall right in front of me. The second, in an open field. The third, at the top of the mountain in the courtyard of the graybeards. I've been taking pictures....I wonder how many more times he's gonna show up? :P

Skjor coming back from the Dead
After becoming the leader of the Companions, Skjor shows up at the cabin as though nothing had happened (he died in an earlier mission, before you became leader). When you talk to him, his dialogue is the same as it was when you first joined the companions; he calls you "whelp" and tells you he has no time for you, while everyone else's dialogue changes as your status in the Companions does. Also, others talk about doing things in his memory, and feeling his prescence when he is standing right next to them. Wierdest thing.

Winterwold college dragon glitch
There is this dragon glitch in the winterwold college. The dragon bones that are supposed to be part of the scenery keep disappearing when the adventurer goes away from the college for a while. This makes a dragon keep attacking the winterwold college. I have already killed 3 dragons with this methood. Frost, fire and blood.

71.203.207.115 02:56, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Not really a bug, several locations do this, typically ones with high interest to the dragons (the college, a few huge burial sites) They tend to congragate around these areas and attack more frequently.

Thane of Riften Bug.
There has been an issue that a few have brought up regarding becoming the Thane of Riften. After completing necessary quests and purchasing the house in Riften, the Jarl appears to be bugged with the quest arrow above her head and no dialogue option. Leaving the player unable to advance. This bug may also affect other miscellaneous quests requiring speaking to the Jarl of Riften. (Confirmed on PC)

Was able to replicate bug. If you buy the house before you talk to the Jarl (when she tells you she is going to make you Thane), then the quest gets bugged and won't let you proceed with quest. This seems to be due to the intended sequence of the quest being 1. Talk to Jarl 2. Buy House 3. Talk to Jarl where she makes you Thane. By completing step 2 before step 1, the Jarl will no longer have any speach options for step 1 or 3.

Console "fix". Warning this will complete the quest, but I don't know if this will have any repercussions down the road. Use at own risk!

In the Console:

player.setstage FreeformRiftenThane 200

Shroud Hearth Barrow
In Xbox360, when attempting to lower the draw bridge in Shroud Hearth Barrow, the pressure plate will not activate if a dead enemy's foot is on it (even with the correct input of Whale, Hawk, Snake, Whale on the stones). The pressure plate will activate and the bridge will lower if you grab his foot and move it off of the plate.

The Forsworn Conspiracy Completion Bug
Finished Quest: "The Forsworn Conspiracy" Bug:

After completing this quest and supposedly having your name cleared by the Forsworn, the guards in Markath are still stopping me for the offenses committed as part of the quest. The dialogue options are the same. "It wasn't me. I've been framed." "I submit. Take me to jail." "I'd rather die than go to prison." The first option still results in the guard not believing you, and the second option, which sent the player to Cydna Mine, brings up a new and solitary dialogue option, "What's the matter?" Selecting this loops the player back to the previously mentioned three options. Obviously the third will result in the guards attacking you on sight.

I need help with a glitch
Please help!!!

I finished the last thieves guild quest, the one where I kill the leader of the thieves guild, and the water fills up in the entire place. I see how to get out, i swim out and I am fine, but my two mates are just swimming around in the water. They will not get out and I can't talk to them to finish the quest. Its a pretty bad glitch, and i really want to get this fixed so i can move on with the game. Please help me!!!!

Winterhold College - Faralda
When i first went to Winterhold to see the College Faralda attacked me on sight on the bridge. I reloaded a previous point and it was fine.

I completed the first two mission for the College where i learn the 'Lesser Ward' Spell and when i search Saarthal. Upon my return to speak to the Arch Mage, Faralda came running into the room attacking me once more, whilst retaliating, that sparked the Arch Mage into fury! Reloaded again and it went away.

So i speak to the Orkish Librarian (cant remember a name) which is when i am told to find some books that were stolen. I go to my living quarters to find Faralda asleep in my bed who then attacks me when i walk near her. I have reloaded the game multiple times and sometimes she will teleport to the room as i am entering it.

Is it possible that i am in fact going into the living quarters of the higher mages and that that is forbidden? Is it also a possibility that where i have joined the Companions, Imperial Leigions and / or the Thieves Guild that she does not like me? Are there any reasons why i am being attacked as this is affecting my gameplay as i love the magic side of the game and so far everything i do revolves around magic!!

Any answers guys?!

Elder Scroll Stuck in Inventory
After completing the main quest it is found that you still poccess the elder scroll that you used to look back in time. Only unlike other quest items it weighs 20 and can't be removed.

It's not stuck, there is people who would be glad to buy it from you for a decent amount of money.

Companions Quest Completion Bug - Trouble in Skyrim - Farkas - Silent Moons Camp
You may get a "Trouble in Skyrim" quest by Farkas (after joining the Companions) to kill the bandit leader of the Silent Moons Camp, even if you have ALREADY cleared the Silent Moons Camp beforehand. If you go back to the Silent Moons Camp:

1. Previously killed enemies respawn.

2. Upon killing the leader, the next objective is "Return to Farkas", but it is impossible to complete the quest upon talking to him!

3. The quest is greyed (and below the line) in the quest objective screen, even though the "Return to Farkas" stage is still marked as incomplete.

4. You may not receive any new quests from Companions as you still have an active unfinished quest with Farkas.

5. Exception: Farkas himself can actually give you a second quest afterwards, even though the first is incomplete.

THIEVES GUILD ENDING

'''I finished off the last quest, everyone made it out. Returned to the guild and Brynjolf or whatever his name is wont talk to me to allow me to finish. Just says "Sorry I'm busy, will talk later". Kinda annoying...ALSO Trying to turn in all the amulets you find during the Thieves guild quests to Devlion or whatever that guys name is (gives you numbers, fishing side quests) and he accepted the first 2 or 3 but wont take the rest...anyone?'''

I'm having the same issue, I think he's supposed to give you the Guild Masters gear but he's just bugged.

Battle for Whiterun Glitch (XBOX 360)
I've been playing on the side of the Stormcloaks for the rebellion quest, and after I had completed the quest, "Battle for Whiterun," it has compramised both a theives guild quest (Dampened Spirits) and the rest of the Stormcloak quests. It tells me to report to Ulfric Stormcloak under a new quest called "Liberation Skyrim," however when I do speak Ulfric, it is just the usual banter with no topic to initiate the new quest. For Dampened spirits I am supposed to meet Mallus Maccius in Whiterun in some sort of tavern, but Whiterun is still damaged from the rebels attack and every building is locked up, so Mallus is in his meadery which can only be opened by picking the lock. When I do try to break in to speak to him, he yells at me to get out and eventually calls for the guards. The final thing I have noticed is that the music playing is always as if I were in a fight and the calm music when just wandering is seemingly non-existent.

[XBOX] Loading Screen Crash During Main Quest
I'm trying to do the main storyline, and am currently doing Diplomatic Immunity. I've got past the guard by



showing the invitation, but every time I try to open the door into the Thalmor Embassy and the game freezes on

the loading screen every time... Any idea how to fix this? I can't continue with the quest if I can't get into the

building :( Oh and I'm not sure if I can do anything else because an NPC is holding all my gear as part of the quest.

I've tried:

- Turning the console on/off

- Making sure the disc is clean

- Booting the game from the disc and the hard drive

I've also added a photo of the frozen loading screen.

Battle for Whiterun Imperial Bug
I participated in the Battle for Whiterun, and I fought for the Empire. Once the battle was complete, I reported to the Jarl and he gave his speech to me and the guards. The guards then yell their "Heeeeeeyyyyaaaaaaaaaaa!"'s and whatnot, but they then draw their weapons and run around town. The barricades are still up in town, and citizens are still running around. When I talk to the guards, they say the Stormcloaks will be here any moment. If I go into Dragonsreach, the general in there tells me to get out and fight because the Stormcloaks have arrived. The problem is that I've already wiped out the Stormcloaks, and the Jarl NPC acknowledges that we've just had a victory, but everyone else thinks the battle hasn't even begun. I don't want to play the game for now on with Whiterun thinking the Stormcloaks are attacking. Please help if you can!

Infinite Loading Screen in Whiterun
Infinite loading screen when leaving Breezehome or the weapon shop nextdoor, as well as when loading the autosave IN Whiterun. Can't say anything about other locations, as I only got these three savegames left.

I'm stuck here, can anyone help? Loading simply doesn't continue, the animation keeps looping and all else I see is the hints changing infinitely. This all started after the game crashed to desktop once while in Breezehome, after dropping some stuff into the chest upstairs. Yet, I tried to pick that up again, but didn't work either.

Help please! I want to go on playing ...

This glitch occurs in all locations for me, the only way to bypass is to start a new game. (PC) 66.190.199.57 22:07, November 16, 2011 (UTC)Sadist Mushroom

Whiterun House bugs
Cupboard:

When I bought the house in Whiterun City I could put 22 books on the cupboard behind the alchemy table, 11 on the top and 11 on the bottom. Later I returned and went to pick up a book of the upper side and all disappeared, I loaded and picked them up manually but since then I can only put 6 books in the empty upper cupboard.

Weapon holder:

I put the Ghost sword on the weapon holder right of the entrance. A lot of time later it disappeared and I cant pick it up nor put another weapon on that place.

Edit: I retrieved the weapons of the stands (from the upper floor too) and was finally able to put another sword on the blocked place, the ghost sword remains lost though.

Riften Thane questline
I received the objective of clearing the skooma trafficker hideout from the Jarl in Riften. I already went to that cave and cleared it time ago. This time there were only 2 bandits inside and nothing happens if I kill them. The objective is still there.

Edit: I figured out which questid this is:  FreeformRiften01   if you write    player.setstage FreeformRiften01 40    you have completed the objective and all you need to do is to talk to the Jarl again.

Sacrifice for Boethiah
I killed a follower for the quest of the sacrifice for Boethiah. He appears impersonated in the corpse and the objective tells me to speak with him. But he says always the same and no dialogue options appear.

I had the same issue. I killed my mercenary after they were imprisoned on the pillar. Boethiah was summoned through their corpse and repeated the first 2 lines of dialogue. I tried using other NPCs with no luck. This prevents me from completing Boethiah's Calling.

reunification of skyrim quest bug
After visiting the General for the Reunifiction of skyrim quest, he sends you to the pale legion camp, you are told to speak to Legate Rikke, and at this point, the legate is not responsive

is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Upon returning to Legate Rikke to finish up the Reunification of skyrim quests, she immediatley says "we are taking the city" (winterhelm) and it gives you the quest "the battle for winterhelm" without closing out the reunification quest. The battle for winterhelm quest tells you to report to the general, but when you do it gives you no option for orders, and Legate Rikke is unresponsive after that. All in All this makes the quest impossible to finish.

If you reload to a point in the game before you report to the general, and talk to him again, the quest does work. At least it did for me.195.169.210.26 19:29, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

I have the Elemental Fury bug but I haven't learned that Shout yet.

No quest rewards??
While doing the civil war quests on the imperial legion side, after completing each quest after the "A False Front" the quest rewards are no longer given. When promoted to Praefect, the dialogue of tulius says he is giving me a blade as a reward but i recieved a dwarven shield!! When promoted to Legate i got a plate armor... And when in the final hall to kill Ulfrus, Tulius gives you his sword to finish him off..... i never got the sword, even though the dialogue did say "Here take my sword" I never actually got the sword...

Has anyone else got this bug?? No rewards means i did all these quests for nothing.

I can hear the shouting, but when I approach the wall it just produces a static-like sound. I tried reloading and exiting and reentering, still nothing.

Bring a Dragon Scale and Dragon Bone to Esbern.
On the Xbox 360, during the misc. quest where you have to give Esbern a Dragon Scale and Dragon Bone. When I give him the ingredients I recieve Esbern's Potion. Supposedly the potion gives you the Dragon Infusion perk after you drink it. However, when I drink it my character has a white outline for a couple of seconds and then nothing. No perk or new magical ability. The quest also remains in my misc. quest log. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Best way to fet around this is putting your spells in favorite by pressing F. Then out in the game press Q to get your favorite spells up, here you press1-9 to bind a spell. Then double tap the new number and you will get a new spell on left hand

College of Winterhold Quest Bug

I listened to the lesson taught by the teacher then did as he asked and traveled to the ruins by means of fast travel. He wasnt there, so i waited a couple hours. He still wasnt there. I waited a day. He and the 3 other students still werent there. I return to Winterold by walking and find 1 of the students getting attacked by bandits, but he cant be killed. However he will not move from the spot hes in. I go back to the college and find the other 2 student just standing in the same spot i left them, and they wont move. I could not find the teacher anywhere. Hes not dead and i doubt he can die, which is probably why the quest hasnt failed. My concern is that he may have fell off the narrow barrierless part of the walkway into the depths, but because he cant die hes just sitting at the bottom leaving anyone who gets this bug completely screwed. My last save was too long ago for me to load it. Please help!

Can't complete "Visit The College of Winterhold" quest because you've already visited.
In certain cases its possible to not complete this quest because you've already visited the College.

To complete the quest simply type this ino the command line:

player.setStage MG01Pointer 200

Can't complete "Get Greybeards Help in negotiating a truce" because you've already chosen a side.
This occurs when you've already chosen a side in the war and are unable to talk to both Kings. I had a serious issue with quest lines because I already intiated meeting with guy outside of Whiterun (Siege). The quest ID is CWSiegeObj. I couldn't advance the "stage" because it seemed like a triggered event experience.

To complete the "Get Greybeards Help in negotiating a truce" enter this into the command line:

player.setStage MQ301 40

You can advanced the entire quest line by incrementing "40" in 10's. You need to do this to eventually learn a dragon shout.

player.setStage MQ301 50

player.setStage MQ301 60

etc..

I would work your way all the way up to "220" which will complete the questline for you. If you have the Siege event triggered outside of Whiterun I suggest you just play through it to get the event over with.

How to fix Buggy Quests
If a quest is bugged there are a number of ways to advance the quest line. Before you begin, save your game!

In the command line type:

showquesttargets

You will see a list of IDs (something like MS01, MGR21, etc). These are the Quest Ids. Below those you will see a "Target". These are the X/Y coordinates if you will of the actual Target/Event. The ID will be in paranthesis (0001DACE, etc).

Example of showquesttargets:

Current Quest: MS01

2 Targets:

Target 1: Reference (0001DADA)

Target 2: Reference (0001DADF)

MS01 is the "Quest ID". You can, if you want, try and advance the quest line. I usually start in increments of 10:

player.setstage MS01 10

And work my way up until it is completed.

To determine which Quest ID is the one you are on I had to do a little process of elimination.

If you find a Target ID (inside the Reference paranthesis above) you can move your player to it.

player.moveto <Target ID>

If you end up where you want to be the quest id is the ID above the target you just entered and now you can try and advance the quest with the command above.

Hope that helps!

Finding a Thalmor Assassin (misc quest)
So basically i'm trying to do this quest, but i'm having issues with the map-marker. At first it was pointing near the Windhelm stables but once i got there the map-marker disappeared. I waited a couple of in-game hours and 4 khajiits appeared as well as the map-marker right next to one of them, but as i got closer the map-marker once again disappeared. So is this a bug, or am i just missing something obvious? I tried staying hidden and listening to their conversation in the hopes of triggering something, but nothing happened.

NPC Carry Weight Dropped
For some random reason that I cannot yet establish, the carry weight of Lydia suddenly dropped. She is not afflicted with anything, and nothing significant was done prior. I spent a great, great deal of time casting soul trap on her to train conjuration, causing her to leave the party several times in the process - however, she was always rehirable. I then did a lot of enchatment that didn't involve her, and then made a new weapon which I attempted to give her - only to find out she cannot carry anything new. When stripped of her given (not natural) armor, she can only then receive back a few pieces.

I can only imagine it had to do with the process of 'firing' via soul trapping her and rehiring, which may have created duplicates of her hidden eq. That's the only reasonable method I can find, and I don't know of any console command that would allow me to check. If anyone knows of a way to check her hidden inventory, please tell me.

Dragons in New Cities
Dragons appearing whenever I discover a new city, every time I discover a new city, a dragon appears while im in the city and starts attacking everyone. this causes people that were supposed to have dialogues with each other for me to hear to disperse and never have those dialogues, which causes me to start taking quests without knowing why I am having those quests.

To make things worse, whenever I fast travel to the cities that this has happened the dragons or their skeletons fall down from the skies and glitch as they jump like giant rubber ball sandmen from rooftop to rooftop.

Also Windhelm is quite buggy, I can't hear my footsteps when walking or jumping unless I'm on a stair and the mission "Blood On Ice" in Windhelm glitches at all points. Firstly, the part where I'm supposed to examine the body glitches and never shows as "Completed" in the Quests menu. Then, if I pass outside Hemjer, it skips a few steps of the mission and tells me I need to get access to Hemjer, before I go to talk to the priestess in the Hall of the Dead or to the steward of the city to get his permission and start the quest. Then talking to the steward, like examining the body, glitches and never shows as "Completed". Also, when I take that woman Viola with me in Hemjer, she glitches and keeps repeating techno-style that "there's something wrong with this cabinet". Another problem at Windhelm is that I can never complete the "Find the Thalmor assasin" misc. mission, because for some reason there are no Khajit outside the city. If I am inside the city, I get a marker to go somewhere near the Windhelm stables and find the Khajit Thalmor agent. But as soon as I go out, I discover that there's only one Khajit where there was a whole camp of them before and when I talk to him he just says "Have nothing to sell today friend" without giving me any dialogue options. The "Show on Map" button for this mission doesn't work once this occurs and there's no marker for the objective.

Furthermore, when loading from autosaves in Whiterun, all merchants' money reset to 0 and I can't sell anything until I go away from a city to another area for 1 day and then come back.

Companion "becomes" dead NPC
After going through the giant/mammoth camp with Linda as my companion, she stayed to fight (presumably) while I ran off and killed some bandits nearby. With her nowhere to be seen, I am shortly followed around by a dead bandit, sliding along the ground and speaking to me as Linda. I can speak to her as if she was still there, so it's just as though the graphics for both characters has switched over.

XBox 360 Under Saarthal quest - I can get the three enchanted rings, but when I go to get the Ancient Amulet, instead of "getting" it, it activates. I am locked in and there is no Amulet in my inventory for me to be able to "Use the Ancient Amulet to Escape the Trap". I looked all over the floor - it's not there, either.

Follower Bug - Illia
A bug regarding Illia, a follower that can be recruited in Darklight Tower:

When Illia is dismissed she will return to Darklight Tower. It is however impossible to recruit her again after having dismissed her once. When trying to talk to her there is no conversation menu, she just behaves like a generic NPC (guards and such) who only say random phrases when "activated" by pressing "E".

Days float
Is it just me or does the time of day in which the day change float, when i first started playing my day changed at 11:13 pm, and no it changed at 7 pm.

Edit: Now its shifted to 5 pm, this is brilliant coding for this to even happen, what would posses them to set the 2 things on differnt values so they could even float like this?

Save/Load bug after Siege event where you ask Jarl to Surrender.
If you load a saved game at any point inside the building after completing the Siege event at Whiterun where you ask Jarl to Surrender everyone will become hostile to you.

In My Time of Need Quest
I have started this quest in Whiterun when I run into the mercs that want me to hunt down a Redgaurd woman hiding in the city. I find her and she asks for my help to avoid her. I agree and have to go talk to some in the prison to get a location on the boss that is trying to have her killed. I talk to the prisoner and he says to pay one of the gaurds 100 gold and get him out and then he will help me. I have tried talking to all of the gaurds in the prison and several outside of the prison, but no dialog box will pop up to allow me to pay them. I even talked with the gaurd commander, but still got nothing. So I can't complete the quest.

Solitude Freezes Game (PC)
As I come into view of solitude any sort of saving of the game or entering of buildings causes client to freeze. I have tried several locations near Solitude they all freeze it. Nothing else in my game so far has caused this problem. I cannot get close enough to Solitude to enter the city I have tried atleast 20 times. I lowered my graphics to the lowest still nothing. I have played every other zone on High graphics with 0 problems.

College of Winterhold
I cannot complete the quest I have already purchased the spell from her but I dont have it. Everytime I say yes I will take the test, my only next option is to not do it at this time.

Learn it by reading the book and then cast the spell on her.

Ebony Armor Glitch
Well today I finished smithing my ebony armor and I was quite impressed with it up to the point I noticed an annoying bug. For some reason when I equip the ebony cuirass the texture section between where the neck connects to body is slightly displaced. This causes a small black necklace like ring to to appear around the neck where gap exists. Also due to the displacement some of the back of my characters neck is clipping through the helmet for the set. I did a little testing with iron cuirass and it appears this displacement issue only occurs the ebony cuirass. I don't know I much body size figures into the glitch, but is clear that when you equip the ebony cuirass their is enough displacement between the head and neck to cause this visual bug. This really killed my excitement for my favorite armor. It looks like someone can just stab a dagger through your neck

Armor Naming Glitch
So I was exploring and found some elven armor named "Elven Boots of Stamnia." Has anyone else found this, it was right next to a Dwarven ruin.

Blessing Of Nature Quest : Sapling inside of Tree in Whiterun
At the end of the Blessing Of Nature Quest, if the player chose the sapling route rather than taking the sap from the main tree, the new sapling is supposed to replace the dead tree in Whiterun and become a small tree. However, the sprite for the old dead tree is not removed, and thus the small tree appears inside the large tree. This can be seen, as the sapling trees branches stick out randomly from the dead tree in a manner that clearly suggests they come from a smaller tree within. If anyone has a means of removing this tree via console, please inform. 'Disable' does not work on the dead tree, for whatever reason.

Lydia Disappeared
Lydia disappeared at the part of the game where you use the elder scroll to go back in time to learn the shout dragonrend. The last time i saw her was when she was right behind me when i was using the elder scroll. after the cut scene she was not there nor did alduin somehow kill her. there was also no body so i beleive it must be a glitch. she just disappeared. now im almost at the end of the game i would like to have her as a companion again. Shes not in my house and shes not in dragon search. can someone help me or has anyone else had this problem with any other companion?
