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.

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.

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,

Right hand dissapearing
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

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.

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

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*)

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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!

books for the arcaneum.

if you want to collect books for the orc. be sure you dont have any with you already before starting to collect them. I already got the book: souls, black and white in my inventory before I started and now my quest marker keeps refering to the chest it was suppose to be in and I am not able to give the book to the orc.

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)

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.

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!

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

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??

 * 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
(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.

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. This bug doesnt seem to be blocking anything, its just I dont know if I am missing out on a reward or something? Happened on PC (Steam) Baaleos (talk) 11:33, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

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

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.

Solitude doors locked at expert level! (Xbox 360)
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

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.)

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

Hired Muscle (PC)

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.

Investigate the Bards College Bug? (Xbox360)
Miscellaneous quest - Investigate the Bards College remains in my quest log even though ive finished all of the Bards College quests. Is this supposed to happen?

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)

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.

The Khajiit camp disappeared outside of Windhelm including all the Khajiit except one. And this keeps me from compleating a misc. quest to find a thalmor assassin. Reloading an earlier save doesn't work, restarting the game doesn't work, and restarting the computer doesn't work.

I'm a level 8 and just about to talk to the skybeards, but when i go to my magic page it will glitch and freeze the page. I've fast traveled to other cities and it still does the same thing. The problem wont go away. I'm on the 360 and i just bought the game no sctatches or anything.

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.

I mined a lil coming in, looking in the maie chamber I found the spell tomb "Transmut Mineral Ore", sounds neet, let me try. Now whenever I try to go to my Magic Menu, the system freezes.

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.

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 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.
