I don't remember any bugs per se. I did get stuck once in the mountains very early on, and thankfully had just saved. I also have discovered that Skyrim doesn't like being interrupted any more than Oblivion did. By that I mean, I have a Toshiba Qosimo laptop. My older Toshiba Satellite from 2007 had physical buttons across the top of the keyboard to control volume, the optical drive for music, and so forth. This one's buttons are on the left side and they aren't physical buttons, they're just spots on the surface that if you just barely brush them with the side of your hand, it "presses" that button. Not at all good from a game-player's perspective, I must say, as I regularly brush those pseudo-buttons with the side of my hand.
Well, one of them automatically brings up Windows Media Player in a window. If you're playing a full-screen game it minimizes that full-screen game to a window on the taskbar. For some games, like Supreme Commander II or Sins of a Solar Empire, it's no big deal; I just click the icon on the taskbar, the game gets re-maximized to fullscreen and I wait a few seconds for the game to clear a brainfart, then continue with the game. Oblivion and Skyrim, on the other hand, absolutely cannot handle this and lock up completely, forcing me to close them, start the game again and reload. Not good.
So no real bugs, just (1) one spot where I got stuck in a bluff face, and (2) the software getting cantankerous when switching (inadvertently) to the desktop.
