Accidental Glitches

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:15 pm

Just wondering how many glitches have people encountered through-out this game so far, it's been a few weeks since the games release, so more are bound to come uncovered.
So far I've personally encountered 2 glitches while playing (one game-breaker) and another one where I was mid finisher on a mob, and I glitched through the floor, causing me to conveniently land into the bosses room(about 50M below), saving me around 10 minutes in the dungeon.

These have to be in a game you've played, and witnessed, not youtube or such.

Actually, shockingly enough... I haven't had any errors like that. It's kind of distressing. I feel like the game is saving them up for one epic string of total failures where it spawns 50 sabre cats and 45 frost trolls right in front of me or something.

1. The famous giant hit to the moon (it's probably intentionally left in the game though)
2. Books or corpses stuck in tables/chairs/door and throwing themselves around, while making a totally annoying noise..
3. Mammoths falling down from the sky..

I triggered the random decapitation from a weapon perk on an ghost. Body stayed ethereal and head materialised. Was all a bit scooby-doo tbh


Also got stuck ina mining animation but managed to escape that with WW shout.

The 1st dragon you kill in relation to the story, the corpse keeps moving around. It started at the Greywatch, moved to the farms south of Whiterun, then to the front gates of Whiterun (which scared the crap out of me the first time I left the city), and now resides around the carriage by the stables.

Collision detection with arrows is sometimes wonky, having arrows go right through someone's body/head, or bouncing off of, or getting stuck in, an invisible object (usually near a corner).

Bonechill Passage crashes like crazy.

Raldbthar gear puzzle will partially reset after x # of days, but the gears cannot be interacted with in any way, making it impossible to continue forward.

Those are pretty much the only real issues I've ran into.

On PC the first ruin that the mage's college sends you to crashes when an npc asks you to try to see what your spells will do. It's done it about 7 times, I switch spells and angles and then it works every third time or so, I am not sure if it was random luck or one of those things I changed.

Three glitches. The first was the Rabbit Running underwater and through the river, second was that there was a square of water missing. The Third one was that I Shouted a sleeping Falmer Servant through the wall while in BlackReach.

I think this has mostly to do with the fact that the game "places" things back in the world when you reload. So the dragon skeleton keeps getting placed, but it's [censored] gigantic, so placing it gives it momentum, which moves it, which scares the [censored] out of you because ZOMG ZOMBIE DRAGON SKELETON.

It scared me because it went from the farm, when I entered Whiterun, to dropping on top of me when I left Whiterun. I think I lept out of my chair on that one! :) Now that it's over at the carriage it's much less of an issue. lol Oddly enough, it has stayed at the carriage for the last few days.

When I first started playing you could see a dagger and sword equipped on th left side. Now the only weapon that shows is what's used in my main hand. PS3 glitch or all platforms? Pretty fail when you can't make a character look right through the entire game...

Also had my character get stuck zoomed in all the way up in 3rd person. I had to start over couldn't play like that.

I tried swapping in out armor and weapons to try and get to display correctly again... Doesn't work.

Returning to older saved games did not fix either glitch.. Only starting all the over did.

Dragon corpses keep falling from the sky.

Seriously.

Has happened 5 times so far. I'll be riding along in the wilderness, and a dragon corpse will fall off a cliff in front of me. Fighting some bandits at a fort? Sup dragon corpse.

Always has nothing but leather boots on it, so I think it's the same dragon too, one I killed back at lvl 20 or something.

I've had a dragon spawn in whiterun and the college. When I kill them they turn to bones, but when I go inside and come back out they have their skin back and are like huge stuffed animals that go flying when I shoot them with fireballs. The problem is I can't get them out of the city and they clog up doors which makes it hard to get in places

I've encountered:

1. When you transform into a werewolf your weapon and sheathe remain equipped to your character model.

2. Bodies falling through the floor.

3. One of the Thieves Guild "Numbers Job"s is bugged.

4. Attacking somebody, then the game freezing my movement and zooming in(maybe it was supposed to be a finisher, but the game messed up?) the person's corpse who I was fighting also disappears after that.

5. The Dark Brotherhood hoods are glitched. The masked version doesn't have a mask on it and both versions of the hood clip into Argonian heads(not sure about other races).

6. Armor mannequins will move over a little bit, and recenter themselves when you take something from them or put something on them.

7. Weapons will not stay on weapon racks/stands/plaques(mostly happened with the Skull of Corruption with me and once with the Sanguine Rose).

8. Some weapons will not go onto weapon racks/plaques correctly(this only happened with the axe you get from becoming the Thane of Whiterun for me).

9. NPCs can move you around if they walk into you(but you can move them) this is especially annoying if you're in mid-conversation with someone.

Best glitch I've ever seen in a game... On Xbox360 shoot a dragon corpse with the Ice Shard spell.

Every time I'm a werewolf and I get the animation of jumping on someone and clawing them, that animation ALWAYS freezes.

Wait, what? I though your character model was supposed to only show your main hand weapon.
