• If the Dragonborn is riding their horse and travel to the College, they can fall off the edge of the walkway and die.
• Rarely, the dialogue option will not appear when the Dragonborn is supposed to speak to Hermaeus Mora for the first time, which makes it impossible to get out of this location.
  • This bug can only be fixed if a previous save is loaded.
