I have done something that I regret.

[MissAshley]

ok reserve HDD is in and network is enabled so far nothing weird. you may be right.

killing NPCs that can not die. placing them in spots where they should not be in a disturbing way.

 

seriously floating bodys seems to be the most common then violent distortion like stretched limbs

and lately talking to NPC they look normal at first then when you talk to them the eyes go black and mouth opens way farther that it was meant to. and when your done talking to them it goes back to normal. you tell me what can do that.

I'm guessing you never played Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas or Oblivion. Put simply, Bethesda can do that, the things you just mentioned are pretty normal (and bloody hilarious sometimes) in their games.

 

The glitchy skeleton (or as some would say - "Spiderman went bats**t insane"), floating bodies, dismembered body parts floating in mid air, NPC faces distorting in unnatural ways, all pretty much normal, I experienced it in 4 games so far (the above 3 and Skyrim).

 

Also...

ok reserve HDD is in and network is enabled so far nothing weird. you may be right.

I hate to say I told you so... what am I talking about, I love to gloat. Therefore, I told you so. :biggrin:

ok you know what i need to call an investigator about this. i just installed steam and skyrim on my back up hard drive that was not even in my computer when all this happened and its the same thing. only none of the npc will talk to me. and the $ is back in front of everything.

 

to be clear:

 

i removed the flash drive along with the hard drive i was using.

 

installed a hard drive with windows 7 on it and a few other system tools made on March, 2, 2013.

 

installed steam and skyrim i let steam update and launched skyrim

 

and nothing has changed. i seriously doubt that steam is distributing broken skyrim.

 

i have no other choice i have to make sure this is documented.

[MissAshley]

here is one SS of the $ thing so you see what i mean. i have to find a file sharing site for the vids and like he warned me

 

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THEM.

 

But you should be ok to stream them

[MissAshley]

what is the $ supposed to mean???

[Deleted3765355User]

Do you really believe a ghost lives in your PC? Really?

 

Wait, is this the TLDR version? If so, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It does look as if someone 'opened' a back door too hack into, and changed your games programming. The only option is to wipe your hard-drive completely.

I actually experienced the $ signs before and other symbols as well in Skyrim. In the end it was an issue with the way I installed a certain mod.

 

I also seen bodies warp into weird shapes. NPC's dead randomly then back alive as if nothing happened. Skyrim is a very glitchy game.

 

I imagine any interference could cause these. If you already switched out your hard drive, did you ever think to check to make sure your graphics card or cpu isn't over heating? Either of those things can cause many odd issues in games, especially graphics card over heating lol.

 

Edit: Although that does not account for the odd text and messages. So in the end, I really have no idea what could be wrong.

im not denying that things like this do happen in games and with computers but the manor that they are happening tells me that this is more than just a random event. i re installd skyrim on an old hard drive and the same thing is happening please give me more things to try. there has to be something that will either confirm this to be something logical or not.

keep in mind this girl does not believe in paranormal crap. and even going back and reading this i sound like a creep but seeing as how its not physically harming me im going to try to sort this all out.

il say this though if its some sort of "BEN virus" or "Skyrim hack" for lack of a better phrase. its pretty interesting to have i just dont know what it will come up with next.

but is has a sort of personality.

i have part of a message that i sent to somone trying to help me trouble shoot this

so you get an idea of what i mean by personality.

"i have 2 people here with me now and we are trying to figure out what it is, if im crazy what it is doing in my computer.

so far any attempt to communicate with it is a failure and we are trying to build a psychological profile of it that may help us figure it out down the road.

we have noticed some things:

it has a pressing need for attention, it makes its self noticed when it wants to

it has a need to test boundarys and break rules.

it has different moods we have determined anger sadness and the strange one being humor.

it is posesive at times demanding

not letting me leave rooms or holding my character in place at times and launching enemies off into the sky and letting them fall to their death pushing my character in directions at times without my characters legs moving making me look in directions i dont want too look.

these are human characteristics not that of a glitch or malware that is for damn sure."

there is a new trick it learned.. it keeps taking me back to solitude when i go to exit a cell. im currently searching solitude to find out why.
