I think I've witnessed first hand the very poor shape this game is in right now. It's deplorable and I'm really pissed off at how broken the game is.

Everywhere I turn I run into a bug or a glitch. Once upon a time I wanted to relocate my book collection from my house in Whiterun to Windhelm, but I couldn't because of the notorious bookshelf bug - if you try to take a book from your bookshelf that bookshelf becomes completely unresponsive and you can't interact with it anymore. Big ass bug if you ask me. It basically renders bookshelves unusable.

Okay, so I can't move my books... fine, it's forgivable, as long as it will be fixed soon. I thought, "I'll do something else in the meantime".
So, I take a Companion quest from Vilkas where we agree to go kill a dragon on some mountain, and he becomes my follower. So I travel to this mountain only to find out that the dragon we need to kill is bugged, flies backwards and avoids you no matter how much you chase it. So now, I have a follower stuck with me that I can't get rid of (no dialogue option) because I can't finish the quest because I can't kill the dragon because it's bugged.

I just can't play a broken game... I just can't... no matter how much I try to avoid the glitches and play the stuff that works, something always comes up.

Is anyone else having a similar experience? I want to love this game, but Bethesda has a ton of work to do. The breathtaking scenery only makes up for it up to a certain point.

Same I try to stay away from bugged places I've heard of but I was running through whiterun from dragons reach to the forge by breezehome and the ground was missing all around the forge and shop and I fell through. I'm not mad or anything cause I understand it takes a while to fix games this big but some of them are kinda sad how they actually made it into the game.

Stop playing for a while, then. The game still hasn't even been out for a month. Give Bethesda time to patch things.

I have got 6 unusual gems, 3 staffs of x, named weapons, two claws, and some books. I guesstimate over 40 pounds of stuff I can't drop because they are quest items.

whats getting old, is playing the game at 10-15 fps, sometimes even 5 on the PS3.
