I've heard two big ones, mostly in other places on the internet. (Youtube comments, Reddit, Facebook, etc.) While I'm sure most here will know these, they're still pretty common misconceptions to people, especially those who don't delve into the game as deeply as most of us here do.

1: Cicero is The Adoring Fan from Oblivion. I've seen in other places on the internet that some people honestly believe he is. Cicero is used as a reference to the Adoring Fan, but isn't even the same race so it's impossible for him to be. Also, Bethesda seems fond of having short annoying people in the game, as there is also a character in Fallout similar to Cicero and Adoring Fan who you have to escort to Big Town.

2:Ulfric literally shouted The High King apart. Also false, if you talk to Ulfric himself about it, he'll tell you that he merely shouted him to the ground, and then killed him with his sword. I've seen several people genuinely believe that he literally killed him with nothing but a shout.
