I've recently got my hands on a ps3 and the Elder scrolls 5 Skyrim game, my first character was a Nord which I got to level 47. at level 40 I learned and performed the Whiterun glitch that gives you access to Eurland's chest under the skyforge. Although this got me a lot of money and plenty of free stuff it also started a very annoying series of events, after I did the glitch a couple times the game would start to lag as if I was playing online with a bad connection after about four or five loading screens. I didn't think much of this and started another character, an Orc which I got to level 35, I had been doing the glitch since level 15 with this character and didn't experience the lag, instead the screens freaks out and the environment doesn't load properly leaving me with a mixture of Skyrim environment and massive blocks of grey. I simply stopped and started another character a Kahtjit level 27, this time no lag or loading problems, instead when I try to enter any building I fall endlessly into a void of greyness. My fourth character another Nord level 22 I have never attempted this or any other glitch with this character and I'm yet to get any interference, except when I get close to Kolsgygg mine outside Marthal then I get lag. I loaded my first nord character and tried to enter the mine but my ps3 crashed just at the bottom of the path towards the mine's entrance. I don't know if it's the glitch messing up my game of if my game is messed although the disk is scratch free. Is it worth me buying a new game or is the glitch really the reason for all this, if so I can just restart the characters. Thanks to anyone who gives their time to help because I really like this game and I would hate to have to stop playing it.

The PS3 version is notoriously buggy, so it's hard to say.

(BtW, 'past Elder Scrolls games is the section for Arena and Daggerfall. Ask a mod to move this to the Skyrim section)

sorry I made this account simply to ask people who knew about the game for help, I have no idea how to do anything except post and reply here
