Snowsong

I've played over 200 hours on a PC and I've never gotten ANY of those glitches, not even before the patches came out. I've gotten a couple of quest bugs, that's about it.

I've done everything (I think) except for the daedric quests and the hundreds of minor, miscellaneous quest thingies. Here's another thing to do if you've finished the civil war: Start a new character with an opposite personality type and play the opposing side of the civil war. LOL! I'm doing that now, and I already feel like a traitor to my original side.

This quote made me laugh. :tongue:

Nope. I STILL can't get the quest to trigger. *Is sad.* :( I've been trying to get that bloody quest to start all day and it STILL won't. (By the way, I sided with the Stormcloaks and got the same bug that keeps the "Blood on the Ice" quest from starting. I don't think the bug has anything to do with what side you chose in the civil war.)

:biggrin: *Is happy* I can't wait to see if the "blood on the ice" quest in Windhelm will finally start for me, now. I've never been able to do that darn quest. Yay.

I'd love to collect a pile of bodies, but the neighbors would smell it and call the police. :devil:

This is hilarious. :tongue: I've encountered a few bugs in Skyrim, but I've also played some VERY buggy games before (Sims 3, Gothic) and compared to those, Skyrim seems flawless. The original Gothic was the single buggiest game I've ever encountered in my life (but very fun if you ignored the bugs). Really, I guess those two games lowered my standards for bug tolerance. LOL. :biggrin: I just can't complain much about Skyrim after those two.

Holy crap that's terrifying. Fascinating, though.

No. I have ZERO mods/downloaded content. It just suddenly started happening after 200 hours of gameplay. Weird. I haven't put any mods in my game yet (was waiting for the Creation Kit/Construction Kit to come out first before I started putting mods in there).

I am truly terrified. I can't even sleep now. :blink: (I wish this forum would let me edit the title. It was supposed to say "screenshots" at the end, but now it just says "scree." Sigh.)

This is what the creepy mannequins are supposed to look like. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7029/6739174205_7f695e0a08_b.jpg But one day, I returned to my Riften home to discover the mannequins were even creepier than normal. Why was one suddenly off his pedestal and across the room?!!?!! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6739173883_3828cefca2_b.jpg I fled the home in terror. Then I returned again to find the mannequins had changed position AGAIN. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6739173651_cc6217c695_b.jpg I returned to the house a third time to find the mannequins back in their places, as if nothing had happened. I worry they will kill me in my sleep. :ermm:

Awesome! I wish I could have a follower that looks like him. :wub:

Pics or it didn't happen. We want to see pics! :teehee:

I agree with this statement. ;) I wanted to show everyone these screenshots from the opening sequence, though. (Cropped slightly so you can see them better.) In the first one, Alduin seems to be looking directly at me. I believe this shot was taken when I was kneeling and about to be beheaded. In the other, Alduin is trying to eat my face. (Literally ... he is in the process of trying to bite me in half, here.) Hmmmmm.... So Alduin DOES try to kill you in the opening sequence, but only if you really, really put yourself in his way to get eaten. Otherwise he ignores you. Make of it what you will ... I just thought you might enjoy the screenshots. :thumbsup: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6733369075_206b643ce4_b.jpg "Look .. puny humans killing each other. How amusing." http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6733369225_357570aaee_b.jpg

OMG that's hilarious. :teehee:

The "sexist" question is always kind of interesting to discuss. I'm a woman, and I'm very glad there are several women fighters and bodyguards in the game. (Many of the Housecarls are women, and they are bodyguards.) The over-abundance of male soldiers in the game doesn't bother me because it's realistic.

Yah, that quest sucks. My game wouldn't even let me store the gems in a chest (they're heavy!) because they were quest items and I couldn't drop or store them. I'm doing a second character now, and I won't be attempting that unusual gem quest ever again.

Marcurio/Mercurio in that tavern in Riften. He's absolutely awesome. He's a spellcaster and manages to survive everything. He cost 500 gold to hire, though.

I remember getting attacked from behind by a werewolf in Bloodmoon and practically wet my pants. :teehee: I've never been attacked by a werewolf in Skyrim, though. I did the Companions quests just a week ago or so, and I was thinking the same thing. Why would I want to kill werewolf hunters? I'd love to have the option to join them. LOL. But yes, the Silver Hand people are a crazy, sadistic lot.

I've never had any glitches like those the OP posted. I'm on a high-end gaming PC and have the patches that have been released thus far. I HAVE had a major bug that has completely prevented me from doing the Blood on the Ice quest in Windelm (the one that will get you the Windhelm house). I've played more than 200 hours and STILL have never been able to do that quest. Sigh. It just won't trigger for me no matter what. Also, there is a quest the Jarl's steward gives you in Riften that is so buggy it's impossible to complete. Luckily, it's just an unimportant side-quest.

Two perk points per level rather than just one. Really, you just don't get enough perks in this game unless you cheat via console. :rolleyes: Also, fighting from horseback. I know that would be a lot of work for the programmers, but boy it would be cool! :biggrin:

I just finished that quest. There was a spot where your character is frozen, but then it's supposed to unfreeze again so you can move again. If it never unfreezes, then that's definitely a problem. :confused: I'm sorry I can't help you fix it. Did you wait a full couple of minutes for it to unfreeze again?

I made a Dead Thrall out of a random necromancer. I figured, as a necromancer, he'd appreciate the irony of my killing him and then making him a zombie. :P

What Janus said. :thumbsup:

There ISN'T life outside of Skyrim!! You're a liar!!! *Runs away crying* :facepalm:
