On the xbox when I get hit with an arrow it does not go away even if I reload a saved file I end up looking like a pin cushion

== Highwaymen Intimidate Bug == On the PC: I encountered a Highwaymen outside Valtheim Towers during the Trouble in Skyrim Quest after  previously having cleared the Valtheim Towers of bandits. When I approached, she demanded a toll of 200gp. I chose the Intimidate Option (Speech 65) and I received the "okay, that sounds good, just get going before any of the guys notices you were here" response, indicating a successful check. Despite this, 200gp was deducted from my inventory and this sum was not on the Highwaymen after I killed her. Is this issue more widespread with a successful intimidate check on Highwaymen resulting in a payment of the toll anyway?


 * Exact bug replicated on PS3.

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!

Same thing happened to me. Changed genders, turned into a werewolf, but the split second I go to first person view the effect is reapplied and never leaves. So damn annoying.186.206.139.185 06:09, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

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

+ 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.

If you are on pc I think that you have hardware or software issues, probably the game wants to load something (textures, meshes, other data, etc), gets a conflict and stops. See if your graphic card driver is uptodate, if you meet the requirements and the game is installed correctly.

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.

Bards College
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

Have not seen the above problem, but I have noticed that the bard leader does keep a torch on him all the time after the burning ceremony is done.

I have a quest lute that I can't get rid of. I can keep turning in the quest, but I don't get the rewarded skills again, and I can't get rid of that 4 pound lute.

I've had the exact same problem. I've reloaded to before speaking to Jorn but the same thing still happens. Even quitting and rebooting the game from a previous point hasn't fixed it for me. The only thing that worked was attacking him.. but not the greatest solution. This is on the PC.

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.

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

Yeah I had the same problem, I was getting frustrated, but thanks now i know to go to huntress for a quest, becuase I really want become a Lycan(werewolf)

Hired Muscle - Farkas can tell the player to intimidate NPCs that are already dead. If this happens, the quest cannot be completed.

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*)

Edit: You need to unlock the Shouts in the menu with the R button. If you changed the button in controls 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 though.

When you kill a dragon look if Dragonsoul absorbed is on the screen and check the number of dragonsouls you have in the right lower corner in your shoutmenu. You dont unlock and learn the shouts automaticly.

Also, if you kill the "same" dragon twice (the one of the same zone) you wont absorb a second soul.

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)

I actually have an older ATI card (3xxx) series and after updating my drivers I lose the animation. Saving and loading did not fix the problem. Rolling back the driver didn't make a change either.

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

{C}{C}{C 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?

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!

^ Brought to you by NOTTHOSEKIDS. Google us!

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

SOLUTION: I had such problem with my GeForce 9800GT. I simply installed lastest drivers and it solved the problem.

Battle for Whiterun throne room bug
{C}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.

Potential answer :

I had the same problem only focus on the Jarl, then when he is down just keep talking to him until you can accept his surrender. This worked for me anyway.

Possible Solution:

My friend encountered this bug on the Xbox 360. His work-around was to purposefully fail at pickpocketing the Jarl. This re-engaged the dialogue and fixed the quest.

78.133.76.219 20:44, November 18, 2011 (UTC)SOLUTION for pc: When you have dealt with the city of Whiterun, all that remains would be to enter Dragonsreach, fight the guards inside and fight the Jarl, bringing him to surrender. If you enter, you'd get caught in a loop where the Jarl says he'll leave but he'll never leave. So I didn't enter Dragonsreach but fast-travelled to a nearby cave and back. When I came back to Whiterun all the smoke and fire was gone. But the city was weird in that there was no guard to be seen anywhere, neither Whiterun guards nor Stormcloaks!! I entered Dragonsreach to find the Jarl sitting comfortably on the throne, with Lilith on his side as if nothing had happened!!! I got the message that the quest was successful and that I had to return to Ulrich and inform him of the Jarl's surrender (!!!) I thought this was bugged up big time and even worse than before! So I exited Dragonsreach again. This time there were like 15 Stormcloaks spawned out of nowhere walking calmly around me. I entered Dragonsreach again and this time the Jarl and his people weren't there. There were totally different people, but no one was on the throne. I hope the new Jarl shows up now, lol

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 {C}{C}{C 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
{C}{C}{C 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.

{C}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 found that I had my FXAA and Sampling a little high, so when I walked into the circular room with the water falling onto the lip of the trapdoor my computer was freaking out because of the water affect with high sampling and FXAA. SOLUTION: lower graphic settings and you should be fine. 72.133.42.219 00:43, November 17, 2011 (UTC)Jdoxmusicguy

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
{C}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

{C}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.

I'm having a bit of a different problem with Ulfric. I've joined the stormcloaks and given the Jagged crown to Ulfric. Then I start running into problems. The next quest you get from him is to take his axe ot the Jarl of Whiterun. The Jarl of Whiterun gives the axe back to me so I can take it back to Ulfric, letting him know that Whiterun has sidded with the Empire. This all happens the way it's supposed to, but when I return to Windhelm to give the axe back, Ulfric attacks me on sight and will not talk to me or accpet a yield. Note that I have not done anything in between, I fast traveled from Windhelm to Whiterun to take the axe to the Jarl, and as soon as I had done that I fast traveled back to Windhelm.

Forsworn Bug
{C}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.

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.

~17 Nov 2011~

(PC) This is the only type of crash I've been having, and I have not read a single other person having this specific crash error other than on this website. Except I do not have it every hour, it's usually way shorter than that, can be every five minutes and up to a half an hour at most. Considering combat is such a huge part of this game, this specific crash bug almost makes the game unplayable for me.

17 Nov 2011.

PC) im also having the same problem however it is constant. on every save i have and it crashes at every weapon swing no matter how long i wait. game crashes using any weapon . bows/magic included.

game is now totally unplayable for me >_<

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

I have found a solution to this problem on my PS3. I just attacked Legate Rikke and yeilded to her right away. It then talked to her and the "Reporting for Duty" dialog option was now available. (I have also finished the main story line.) Hope this helps some people. -LostFound

Had the same bug and just as I was attempting LostFound's method, a dragon landed right beside the camp and she drew her sword to go fight it. Went back to her after I had killed it and the option was there. Guess just making her initiate combat in any way will fix this. -EremesGuile92

I tried several times initiating combat, yeilding, killing her, and reloading the game everytime. The chat option to initiate the quest still isn't there for me. -Addothertemplates55

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. {C}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?

luna : I am having the SAME PROBLEM, main gate to the town is locked. which means I cant play. Also the barrow is all screwed up, cant get into the gate there either, my character gets stuck and wont go any further, someone please fix this!

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

- The above appears to be partially incorrect as it did not work for me. The correct command should be player.drop refID 1

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.

---

This will happen if you zoom in to first person with the scroll wheel while enchanting. If you wait for about 30 seconds, your character will detach from the table automatically. The real bug here is that you should not be having your view scrolling with mousewheel whole enchanting. (Geldonyetich (talk) 03:52, November 18, 2011 (UTC))

I've had same problem. I can confirm it is when scrolling through enchants, it will zoom in/out from your character view in addition to scrolling through enchantments that causes it. Also seems to cause it when renaming items. BryanWPeterson, View my work (PC, Version: Steam Release) 06:54, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

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.

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)

I used the claw and retrieved a dragon stone (weights 25), its for a quest for the mage in Whiterun. I could return the claw when I went back to Riverwood. I think its because I got that stone.

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. I have also experienced this bug. I tried from an earlier save point and still couldnt get the quest from her.

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.

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 had/have this problem too, even after completing the forsworn/conspiracy questline where at the end the leader says "they will know who to really blame" and the bounty gets removed, I still had the guards outside saying "I know you..." and then trying to arrest me. I kept fighting only to die a few times, finally I accepted "take me to jail" (which I had broken out of) at which point they turned around and walked away and hasn't happened since.

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.

Same has happened here. Any attempt to enter the city results in the guards trying to arrest me. The bounty goes up each time it seems(going down sometimes) and when you choose "take me to jail" they don't take you anywhere. I then have to exit the dialog and it is a rinse repeat unless I fight. I also noticed this happened after the escape from the mines.

I'm having the exact same problem. Super frustrating because I did the Forsworn Conspiracy quest first so I literally can't do any of the other Markarth quests at this point. I'm so far forward in the game at this point that going back to before I completed this quest is pretty much undoable for me. Hopefully this gets fixed so I can finally buy that darn Markarth house and finish the quests.

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.

UDIENOWPLZ, Steam user.

~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.

{C}{C}{C zG: I had this problem also. Tell her you want to split up, and she should go back to Whiterun. She'll either go to your house, or to Dragonsreach if you haven't bought the house there yet. Once you go back, just talk to her to get her following you again.

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?

{C} {C}

Farkas was following me like that but I paid off my bounties and he stopped, but I still am getting that error about not being able to sleep. I don’t know if this help you or not but I figured I would share it. {C}

~

This appears to be because they are both a member of every guard faction and are trying to get you to pay your fine. They do not have the appropriate dialogue however, and this happens. You should be able to manually remove them from the guard factions with the console.

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. (has this been confirmed?)

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

I had this happen to me, and I didn't have the quest for the crown. However, I cleared the dungeon where it takes place before getting the quest, and I believe that caused the bug.207.91.153.186 21:19, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

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.

Khajiit Camp disappeared outside of Windhelm. ==

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
{C}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.

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.
(Also known as Thane of the Rift) 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 (Honeyside) from the Steward 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 from the Steward 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.

This bug happens regardless of which sequence you speak to the Jarl and Steward, unless you aren't supposed to decorate your house before speaking to the Jarl the final time.

The bug can also be replicated by, talking to the Jarl first (step 1), buying the house from the Steward (step 2), leaving and visiting the house, and returning to speak to the Jarl for step 3. She will be bugged this way as well. Decoration of house does not seem to affect this quest.

Bug Avoidance:

Talk to Jarl first, immediately buy house from the Steward, and immediately talk to Jarl again. Do not visit the house before talking to the Jarl the second time or deviate from this order.

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

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?!

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.

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

{C}{C}{C You have to finish 5 extra jobs in each city (excluding Riften) and then you'll get a special quest for that city. Once you do it, you gain their support. He gives you the gear and claims you as Guild Master once you have fully restored them to power. Anytime you get a quest for a city you've gotten the support of just cancel it and get another until you get one you want.

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

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 ...

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. {C}

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.

-The game will not let me continue the quest. Boethiah did not appear after I killed the person I brought to the shrine, but she did after I killed the cultists and now the game will not let me proceed with the quest. Please Bethesda fix this in the update. I don't want to start a new game to get the Oblivion Walker Achievement.

-My problems with this quest are many, doesn't take the follower sometimes and after killing the cultists she revived one of them but the dialogue didn't happen and the cultist walked off. Reloaded, killed cultists again, now my vision is stuck in that red vortex thing. PC btw, is there a console command to fix this perhaps?

Edit: Im the one of the first post, sorry that it took so long, was doing other quests.

The questID is DA02. If you write player.setstage DA02 15 in console you will jump to the objective Boethiah gives you after the sacrifice of your follower: kill all the worshippers, after that you receive another quest so its not bugged anymore.

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)

Reload to what point? Before you start the reunification quest? And how does that make Legate Rikke responsive?

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.

Bring a Dragon Scale and Dragon Bone to Esbern.
On the Xbox 360 (also on PC), 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. The quest remains in your questlog and so it looks like it doesnt finish it because you dont get anything from the potions.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

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".

Making her a blade does not fix this.

update : it seems the bug was triggered when we trying to save the game (autosave,manual save,console save and quick save)..but when we are not trying to save the game, she can be dismissed and ask again to join as a followers. i hope somenone can fix this issue soon

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 capture. 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.

I am having a similar problem with this quest. I can pay the guards but then they don't release the prisoner and the prisoner keeps acting like I haven't paid him at all. I know the guards are suppose to act like they will release him later but even that doesn't happen. He just stays and won't tell me anything.

I actually figured this one out by complete accident. Turns out that if you amass some fines before going to Whiterun the gourds will have a dialog with you if you talk to them. Some thing to the effect of Guard: "Wait, I know you!" Player: "You must have me confused with someone else" Guard: "No, you have a bounty of (blank)" Normally, you would pay the fine after this conversation. However, if you join the companions before talking to the guards they all say "Wait, I know you!" and that's it. You can't talk to them past that part. What I ended up doing was committing another crime in front of a guard. I suggest pickpocketing the guard himself in clear view for easiest chance of being caught. From here you must elect to go to jail, if you offer to pay the fines it only takes care of the current crime and not the others. Once in jail, stay in there for the full duration until let out by the guards. If you try to escape it does not work. Then when you are done with your jail sentence all your bounties go away and you can talk to the guards as normal to get the quest completed.

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.

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. {C}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. {C}I did a little testing with iron cuirass and it appears this displacement issue only occurs the ebony cuirass. {C}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

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.

<p style="text-align: center">&quot;No Gods, No Masters.&quot; (talk) 20:11, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

<p style="text-align: left;">There's a lot of grammar and accuracy mistakes in the subtitles also so I'm sure it's just imperfect editing. I remember reading "walked passed" instead of "walked past" in one case. Other cases the voice acting did not match the subtitles. "Isn't" written instead of "Ain't" that was said. "Didn't mean to offend." written instead of "Didn't mean to offend 'you'" that was said. Still it's a bit funny to see these mistakes in the game.

Blessing Of Nature Quest : Sapling inside of Tree in Whiterun
{C}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?

Battle For Solitude Bug Cannot Finish Quest
When fighting for solitude in the "Battle For Solitude" if the Stormcloak questline when go through the door "Castle Dour" my player walks in and sheaths his weapon but then stop and does not move and ulfric is not even inside, the girl runs past the door ahead of you still but you are unable to walk forwards and there is no auto walk happening like it does in people videos !!!!!

Skyrim Chopping Wood.
So when you chop wood and someone else picks up the wood (npc to be exact) once they take the spot after you the wood sticks out of there arms. I don't know if this is a minor glitch but it happens all the time on xbox and probably PC as well.

Extremely fast magicka regen
I was just working on the mage's college quest line, had just finished clensing the focal points (didn't hand in quest) and had also just been a guinea pig for the one mage (forget her name, the dark elf who turns you into green, and into a horse) anyways when I was leaving the college I noticed that my magicka regenerated full immidiately during charging a spell, normally no regen occurs when charging, and it would fill my magicka to the brim in less than a second. Not sure what caused this but it essentailly allowed me to spam magic attacks without using up any of my magicka. Also not sure if related but when I was looking at my active effects I noticed a few that had the effect titled "reduced magicka" and then the description was +100 fortify magicka. Anyways not sure if this is a glitch or what happened, anyone else have this happen to them?142.59.98.4 01:22, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Marriage failure if previous follower is killed by you.
If you have a follower that has died by your hands before dismissal and you try to marry someone else, the marrage will fail because your dead follower's corpse will attend your wedding and everyone attending will acuse you of killing him/her. You can attempt another chance at marriage by finding your lover again and repeating the marriage quest. Your followers corpse will not attend this time and marriage can be completed.

Erandur questline PS3 freeze
{C}PS3 froze in the early part of the Erandur quest inside the temple after I give him the book, and I chose the dialogue "Sounds dangerous. How can you be certain?" at which point all PS3 functions stopped working and it is frozen on that scene.

Followers refusing to follow while trespassing
I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but this happened with Lydia during the Hard Answers quest (Thieves Guild). Was there some other way of getting them to follow you that I wasn't aware of? Are we not supposed to be able to enter the command state? Or was this just a development oversight? Either way it was quite frustrating to encounter.

Should you order a follower to wait in a particular spot using the command state when you are trespassing on a property, there is no way to order them to follow you again. Clicking on them will only have them respond in "You should not be here." In terms of movement, the maximum you can acheive is to have them follow you around the area, but they will not exit to other areas with you. The only way I've found of fixing this so far is to kill your companion, loot all their items, and then resurrect them using console so they will walk out themselves (upon which you can get them to join your service again), however you may still receive a Notice of Inheritance (with 300 gold) from a courier as the game registers your companion to have been killed. (ie. Lydia)

Riften-Disrupt the Skooma Operation Mission

The Jarl sent me to Cragslane Cavern which Ive already cleared. The marker told me to go there so I did. I went inside killed everyone, found skooma all over the place but it did not give me a mission complete dialogue. The quest is still active and the game has not recognized it has been completed. The map marker has dissappeared entirely and the Jarl has nothing to say about the quest being finished. Also you can normally press X to "Show on Map" but the option is greyed out and will not function. This quest makes you the Thane of Riften and lets you buy a house in the city. This bug stops that.

Missing in Action quest
I went with Avulstein Gray-Mane to rescue his brother Thorald, but when I escaped with them both I could not get rid of them. They now follow me everywhere and this means I can not go sneaking around as they just get in the way! It seems no matter how far I travel it is never far enough!

Items In Inventory Become 'Quest Items' Randomly
Some items in my inventory will be stuck in them. For example i just completed 'Find the source of power in Volskygge' and killed a Forsworn Briar Heart outside Hag's End. The ingredient looted from him 'Briar Heart' is now in my inventory and unabled to be removed because it is a 'quest item' I also have two Amulet of Talos that are glitched as well. Also when doing the quest 'A Night to Remember' I bribed the priestess to tell me the info i needed instead of cleaning up the chapel. I then took the stuff strewn about it like a head of lettuce and a giants toe. Both these items were stuck in my inventory for quite a while, but i believe after i finished the quest i could remove them. The good news is that since they are quest items they don't weigh you down, just completely clutter your inventory.

Spells Cast Infinitly Without Effect, Unable to do Anything Else While Occuring
Occasionally I will be in combat and attempt to do a healing spell while swinging my sword, I will also use a shout and find myself moving slower than normal and unable to cast any magic or use shouts, but still able to swing my sword, when i try to use my shout i get a message 'Unable to use shouts while casting magic.' From what i gather, the game thinks im casting a spell constantly but doesnt display the animation or give spell effects. The only way to fix this is to put your spell/sword down then pull them up again.

Chests Don't Sort Items!
No containers in the game sorts different items. There aren't sub categories like shopkeepers have for weapons apparel etc. and even when you dump multiple items in chests it wont even sort it by alphebetical order, just completely random. I also have a jewlery box in my home and the listing the items go is (ill just write first words for brievety) 'Gold silver gold gold silver gold necklace gold silver silver gold amulet...' the chest doesnt sort by weight, value, armor rating, or order you put them in either.

My chests will sort by alphebet, sometimes, and sometimes by weight, and sometimes by order I put them in, or by no order at all. I agree there should be an item type sorting like in your backpack / shop keepers, and also to fix this sorting problem. User:BryanWPeterson, View my work 03:56, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Sometimes when I kill a dragon a loot it, but the dragon doesnt burn away and I don't get the soul of the dragon. Then I thought I had already the mex souls what you can have, but the next dragon I kill I get the soul of the last slayed dragon.

I agree. If a dragon comes back in the same area, or if it is for a quest, I do not get dragon souls. example, the dragon that is menecing Winterhold does not give a dragon soul if you kill it for the quest.

Yngol Barrow exit not working.
On my Xbox, when I get to the end of Yngol Barrow (the place you get and use the corral dragon claw) I can't open the exit. This is in the room where you kill the big boss Dragur who shouts, and where the chest with the helm of Winterhold is. When you first walk into the room, if you turn left, there is a button on a stone pedestal. I assume that this is the button you hit which unlocks the gate in front of the exit, because I looked around the room for 10 minutes and couldn't find a lever or pull-chain. When I put my reticle over the button, it says "press button", but when I try nothing happens. I'm guessing this might be a glitch, but maybe the button is supposed to do nothing and the real exit lever or pull-chain is somewhere else. Please help.

Markarth after the Forsworn Conspiracy
{C}Bug on PC where upon exiting the mines with the forswarn I killed the guards with them and exited the city to go about and do some other quests. Upon returning to the city the guards start the dialogue to send me back to the mines which does nothing. The only option then is to resist arrest and run. any sugjestions?

Scenery/Summons Delay
When running from Riverwood to Whiterun, by the time I reach Whiterun, only the scenery loads. Low-Res houses and sprite trees that are seen in the distance are not replaced by the actual model. As a result, it is possible to run from one end of the map to the other while moving through all the objects in the way.

Possibly related to this glitch, summons from conjuration have a significant delay from the time of casting to actually appearing in the game world. For example, after conjuring a flame atronach it takes around 10 seconds to actually spawn. During this time, ward spells also have no animation and may not work correctly until the summon is spawned.

Also possibly related, weapons and spells do not always appear in the player's hands, though the player may still attack.

A brief fix is to open up the escape menu for a second or two, at which point these glitches resolve themselves after leaving the menu.

Raldbathar
I went to freely explore Raldbathar (no quest started). I got to the bridge with Centurion. I unlocked the 4 gears and saved the game. Then a pressed the button and the brigde falled. Then I figured out that I dont have enough strength and loaded the last saved game. Then I went out of Raldbathar gathering some skills and levels in different quests. After I was strong enough I went back to Raldbathar to kill the boss(Centurion) but the button did not worked. (On second try the Centurion came out of water, but bridge still not working).

Winterhold college
I am doing the quests for the college of winterhold, i completed the good intentions quest, but never recieved revealing the unseen? i was wondering if anyone knew how to do this?

Winterhold Thane bug
To become thane of Winterhold you need to help 3 people. In the village are 3 that you can help but 1 of them (Ranmir) doesnt give you the quest, people tell you about how his lover left him and a woman says that she went to see Vex (from the Thieves guild), if you go to talk to her she says that she sent the girl to the cave of Hob. There you can find her and retrieve a letter from her to Ranmir but when you give it to him he simply thanks you and disappears. Since you didnt get any quest (though you have done it) its not completed and you stick with 2/3 people helped.

The solution is to help some mages in the college, who also count for the thane quest.

bug defeating alduin. plz help.
this is the first bug i ran into. i'm at the part that i need the greybeards to negotiate with general tullius and ulfric stormcloak. i've already talked to everybody except ulfric. i joined the stormcloaks but haven't done a thing for them. the quest marker tells me to talk to ulfric about the negotiaten but everytime he says that i need to go to korvanjund to prove his general right or wrong. but when i talk to his general he says I can't believe you made ulfric negotiate with them. it seems like a waste of time to me. so the bug is that i cant talk to them because they both say different things. i cant enter korvanjund because it isn't open. so i'm stuck.

Under Saarthal Quest Glitch
While going into the caves once you are locked in the room, after fighting a "Deathlord Daedra" I jumped over the tomb he is up on. Thier are two potions, one a Health and one for Magicka restore. As I grabbed those out a broken pot I looked across the gap from wear I was. There are small ledges with such pots around the room. So I decided to try and "Shout Sprint" across the gap and see if it would work. I somehow ran through the wall, and was faced with the dungeon boss if you will. He was sitting in his throne and did'nt attack me for about 30secs, I looted the room and all before he awoke and attacked me. The problem is with out the teacher you can't kill him. The crazy part is when I ran into the wall and came out in the chamber I could'nt get back out and the giant orb was my way point lol.. basically i was lucky I save a lot. Thank god I was saving after every little skirmish. Other wise I would have had to do it all over again. I later was talking to a friend about it and found mine was glitched from the begining as the teacher never followed or helped me fight any of the daedra. After I reloaded (about half way into the dungeon) I worked my way to the boss (without the teacher) and thankfully the teacher appeared in the room at the end and while I ran around from the daedra the teacher attacked the orb and killed the boss. Also this was on the XBOX 360

Companion Quest: Retrieval. Alik'r inside Swindler's Den
I just did the "Retrieval" Quest for Aela the Huntress. When I went through Swindler's Den at the end the Alik'r Warriors and Kematu were waiting for me after the waterfall. They didn't attack me so I could just loot the questitem and leave. Because this seemed kinda weird I looked up the quest and found out that there should be a Silver Hand Leader there. Also when I transformed into a werewolf they instantly attacked me which I guess is the right behavor.

Befor this Quest I already finished "In My Time of Need" where I sided Kematu. So he should actually be on his way home with Saadia by now.

Further "Swindler's Den" is still not marked as cleared on the map, so I guess I'm missing something or it's just bugged.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Unlimited capacitiy weight with a companion
I just discoverd this bug/expolit that if you order your companion to pickup something, they will place it in their inventory even If they don't have enough space. Only confirmed with Lydia. For example, if I tried to give her a bow through trade screen, it would say that the item is too heavy but if I drop it and order her to pick it up, he places it in her inventory. Tried only on the 360 with Lydia

Vampirism Bug (Minor)
More of a minor grievance than a bug honestly, but Blackreach is considered outdoors as far as vampirism is concerned (take negative effects/damage during the day). This kindof disapointed me. As someone who chose vampirism, I thought Blackreach would be my perfect realm, a tremendous cavern of eternal night where my vampirism would never be a weakness, only a strength. Not so though.

This isn't really a huge deal, but if its simple to patch (just flipping an isOutdoors boolean or some such nonsense) it'd be awfully nice.

Also I'd appreciate it if somone (someone who is a vampire that is) could confirm this bug to make sure I'm not just having weird issues.

Investor Perk Glitch
Bugged in two ways:

1. Prior to investing in them, taking the Speech perk, "Investor" decreases investable merchants' gold to exactly 500.

2. After investing in them, their gold goes back to the previous levels of ~1000-1500 with no real increase over where it was prior to investing in them before taking the perk.

Stuck Walking
So, I will get a couple of points out of the way first. No, I am not over encumbered. I have my weapon sheathed.

This bug occured after I talked to an NPC whilst holding the shift (walk) key. After the conversation had finished, I was walking instead of running. The only way to fix this was to hold the shift key again and talk to another NPC. However, that only fixes the problem until talking to someone else, or using a door to an area that needs to be loaded.

It also seems to have affected the save file, as exiting the game to the main menu and reloading, results in the bug persisting.

However, exiting the game to the desktop and reloading the game seems to fix the problem, even with an affected save file.

Renaming items in the arcane enchanter (PC)
I can't seem to rename enchanted items. I am able to delete letters, but the game doesn't recognize me inputting characters on PC version. Anyone else have this problem? Alcarcalimo2364 (talk) 03:46, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

I can rename the item, but the capitalization does not "stick". When looking at the item the letters are all in caps, but the item in my inventory has the correct capitalizations. Is the problem on 'smithed' items, or on regular items? I've tried on both and seems to work fine for me. (PC, Steam Vers. ?)User:BryanWPeterson, View my work 04:01, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Companion Armor and Weapons
''NPC: When giving companions armor and weapons, they do not chose the 'best ones' to wear. Also, they seem to have difficulty choosing best over the same type of armor. For example, Lydia uses Steel Armor as her chest piece by default. If you give her a Steel Armor (Epic) : 54, which is clearly better than her default armor - tested by giving her a Dwarven Armor : 40, she will wear the dwarven armor - but she will not replace her default 'steel armor' with the epic version. ''You can tell she is not wearing it because the arrow for 'equipped' is not next to it when looking at her backpack.

''Companions also seem to favor sets of items over total armor type. So for example if you give them Dwarven Helmet, Dwarven Gloves, Dwarven Armor, and Dwarven Boots, then give her Plate armor with better she will not equip the Plate armor because it is not part of the Dwarven set, even though it would result in higher total armor.

 * I can confirm this. It is consistent. Even when freeing Thalmor or Imperial prisoners from prisoner transports, you get the dialogue options to Do Nothing, Free and Free and Give Equipment (not word by word, but in effect). Giving them equipment does nothing. Something is just plain broken when it comes to assigning equipment to NPCs. Fun fact: I stole the clothes of a sailor in Windhelm. Tried giving him replacement. Nope. Now there's a naked sailor standing on a longship in the icy harbor. Hardcore. http://imageshack.us/m/15/6929/luckmanngrenadesignatur.png Luckmann 04:30, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Unable to start destruction ritual quest
My destruction is now at 95 and Faralda doesn't give me the speech option to start the destruction ritual quest. I have used the oghma infinium though so maybe that messed me up?

The Jagged Crown (Quest) - Stormcloaks
At the end of the Jagged Crown quest (the first quest as a Stormcloak, after undergoing the initiation quest/ritual), after beating the bossfight in the crypt (not a picknick at level 40) NPCs act as if people in our group had died, even if everyone survived throughout the entire quest. When delivering the crown to Ulfric, one of the replies are that we lost a lot of good men - even though not a single one was lost. Probably a lost flag or broken script somewhere.

Extremely annoying after reloading at least twenty times just to make sure that everyone survived, in the hopes that there would be at least a comment, but instead I get the opposite. http://imageshack.us/m/15/6929/luckmanngrenadesignatur.png Luckmann 04:25, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

On PC, sometimes when looting from a container the game closes. Usually when using the loot all command. hitting it once does nothing, hitting it twice closes the whole game. No autosave here.

Dravins Bow quest bug
Dravins Bow quest bug.

'''upon attempting to return Dravins Bow to Dravin, a frost spider attacked his farm while i was in the process of selecting the dialogue to return his bow. The dialoque option to return the bow dissapeared and the bow is stll in my inventory, unable to drop it (as it is a quest item) or return it. '''

Becoming a Nightingale Bug
On the PC, when becoming a Nightingale, I donned the armor and had the little chat where Brynjolf wants to know exactly what's in store and Karliah makes certain I'm ready as well, but as soon as I clicked, "I'm ready.", Brynjolf started the conversation over ("Okay, lass, now that we're in these get ups, what now, etc.") as he walked to the gate, but Karliah walked away from the gate and strolled right out of the Sepulcher, contributing to her part of the conversation, and once that was over, all she'll say is for me to wait until the Oath is complete, and then continues on her merry way. The problem was my companion, although I don't specifically know why. As soon as I told him to wait, Karliah got her act together and after saying "I'm ready.", walked to the gate like she's supposed to.

Companion's Quest line: Proving honour glitch. finding more work

I have the same problem, although I don't have a companion with me, I tried going to collect Lydia and telling her to wait inside nightingale hall, but Karlia's not coming back. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Glories and Laments
The keeper of the Arcaneum in the College of Winterhold, Urag, gives a quest to find the book Glories and Laments from the Valtheim Towers. If the book is obtained before the quest, it causes a glitch: the book cannot be removed from inventory because it is a quest item and the quest cannot progress because it remains stuck at the first stage (to find the book).

Hadvar/Stormcloaks glitch in Helgen keep
I've been trying to follow Hadvar into the keep right after character creation but when he uses the chain to open the gate in the first room he gets stuck there, just does an odd little glitch twitch. If I run there first and open the gate, he's fine but then gets stuck on the second chain/gate, where the Stormcloaks are. Oh, and the Stormcloaks just stand there, doing nothing at all, while I slice them to ribbons. Okay, so it's time to move on, but Hadvar's still stuck in front of the chain... (PC)

EDIT: Finished the area solo and made my way out of the Keep.. and lo and behold!.. there's Hadvar. At least the glitch didn't break the quest.

(PC) Timing of Wedding
I have the Problem, that my Wedding failed because i did not attend it.

Problem here is: I was talking to the Priest at about 10 AM and told him i want to get married. He answered the wedding will be on the next day. And about 3 hours later i got the notification that the wedding failed. After all it seems to be on the same day if it is before noon.

I was wondering if anyone else is having this trouble, I have seen it on afew posts where people are complaining about how the UI is bad and needs redesigning.
Essentially when using ASDW for navigaitng a menu and E instead of enter sometimes the mouse position overrides where you scroll to on a list and can cause misclicks on lists. I have also found after conducting afew of my own tests that this happens and it depends where your mouse cursor is on the screen. For example if its above the line your using ASDW the E action will allways choose the top list command, if your below it the bottom command and if its on the same line then you will allways select the one you want.

I think its a bug with the game as my mouse when used in other programs performs as usual. Other things that can happen is the game thinks your using ASDW when your trying to click with the mouse and vise versa.

I'm also pretty sure this is a continuation of the steam overlay bug (using shift+tab exiting conversations and jamming the shift key down making it unable to exit conversations using tab)

Is this worth noting or is there a fix out yet?
