Black-Briar Mead Keg Glitch

Post » Tue Nov 17, 2015 12:37 am

Wasn't able to find this anywhere else, so I thought I'd share a glitch I found today. First off I would like to specify that I wad playing on Xbox 360, with no DLC installed (Dragonborn, Dawnguard, Hearthfire).

Okay, now to the real stuff.

While in Riften, I spoke to Romlyn Dreth, who tasked me with giving a Black Briar mead keg to someone else. Unfortunately for Dreth, I'm a filfthy thief, and once he handed me the keg, I tried pickpocketing him. He caught me, and apparently knows how to cast fireball; however, the splash damage from his spell hit Talen-Jei, causing them to fight, until I immediately exited the building, ran to a guard, and payed 12 gold for a bounty clear. However, when I exited the Bee and Barb, I was notified that I failed Dreth's delivery sidequest, and the keg became a normal item. I am able to drop the keg, and when it is dropped, it becomes a solid object not affected by physics, effectively making it a placeable jump stone. It can be picked back up, and replaced. I used it to jump onto a taller part of a bandit tower, and even better, used it in the Reeking Cave to jump back up into the Thalmor Embassy. Any questions, or want to let me know this has been known and I'm an idiot, please let me know with a comment.
