[@grfrjiglstan]

Ah, remember when linear shooters were the mainstream default, and an open world game was a refreshing change of pace? What a fanciful concept.

[@nihilistcoomergang7046]

“ Wow, crafting, stealth mechanics, and an open world? What a fresh novel concept! “

[@tyler547]

Jimminy c-throat

[@hawken796]

Every generation has it's generic game style

[@noizepusher7594]

And the monkey’s paw curls

[@invalid_user_handle]

It's the usual order of things. A few games pull of a genre amazingly, then the next 6-10 years after that you're going to have the dozens of copycats which range from great to terrible.

[@etherraichu]

My favorite glitch was when a skeleton dragon fell out of the sky on top of me as I was crossing the bridge to the college of Winterhold, pulling me off and sending me tumbling to my death. Well played, Alduin.

[@camelthegamer7165]

Karma!

[@SkeasySimple]

I know this one. Didnt hit me, but I was really scared for a moment

[@trevorburke8660]

more successful use of one his followers corpses than anything else he tried (which was limited to raising them to die to you so.,..)

[@akiraigarashi2874]

Used to see a lot of teleported janky dragon bones in the normal Skyrim but hasn't really happened in my Special edition playthrough yet. Guess they might've fixed it.

[@soldier257]

That must’ve been quite the jumpscare XDD

[@OG_McLovin]

Getting launched into low orbit by a giant is still one of my all-time favorite vidya memories.

[@bliffity2692]

When I first told my friends that I was playing Skyrim the first thing they all said was, "Did you get launched by the giants yet?"

[@ethanor]

Shit always fall from the sky when I play. Goats. Bandits. Even other giants sometimes just appears. Had one falling right into Falkreach just a few weeks ago :p

[@Stinkarelly]

Gotta love the mammoths too, just a sudden flash of dark brown in the sky out of nowhere and you find them dead ripe for looting

[@ZombiePotatoSalad]

It just always rains Argonians for me.

[@tomdp6848]

McLovin getting off my horse to the same effect was much better

[@proudguardofwhiterun5770]

My best glitch is while walking through Whiterun, I was engaged in a conversation. To whom? I do not know, no one was around when it adjusted my camera. After leaving the dialogue, I noticed a person floating above my head, in a T pose. He floated forward a few feet and then ascended into the sky, never to be seen again. Some say, he is still ascending to this day.

[@patrickharrison6293]

PRAISE JEEEEEESUS! PRAAAAAAAISE JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS!

[@CheeseOfMasters]

+Arrow In Eye Probably was Nazeem on his way to the Cloud District...

[@matthewtaylor2890]

+Arrow In Eye Mine was I jumped through a ceiling by accident, got thrown by the dodgy collision where I flew through a mountain and the game promptly crashed.

[@rasmusweber9617]

+Arrow In Eye No, you just met Jesus and convinced him to abandon humanity. :)

[@AlecazamAlecazam]

+CheeseOfMasters Damn you

[@yourethatmantis5178]

when I played Skyrim there was a glitch that activated when I died during that one mission for the companions when you first fight the silver hand or whatever. whenever my character was indoors I would hear this horrible rattling sound constantly and when I went into third person and my character model was completely gone. when I was at the tavern in whiterun I looked up for no reason and saw the 3rd person model of my character ragdolling across the ceiling. I managed to leave the tavern in 3rd person view and then I witnessed my character change from its intended position into a ragdoll corpse that slowly started to rise into the sky and never stopped. and then that one asshole asked if I get to the cloud district very often.

[@cringelord9568]

Because of this comment, I ended up looking stupid trying to stifle a laugh in a library

[@ixb9822]

"Do you go to the Cloud District often? Oh what am I saying, ofc you don't" No, I'm only the first Dragonborn in over 1000 years who saved the world from armageddon, brought the Thieves Guild back into power as well as the Dark Brotherhood, rebuilt Wuuthrad for the Companions and imprisoned a dragon in the keep OF the Cloud District. I'll be fucked if I can figure out two sets of stairs and a fucking wooden door these days tho.

[@UseZapCannon]

Fact: Nazeem ("Cloud District" guy) has the same voice actor as Torbjorn from _Overwatch_.

[@coiledAgent]

Zapsie The wonderful world of voice actors.

[@thatoneguy975]

I'm going to now buy over watch so I may find said person and bash their face in with the biggest blunt instrument I can find.

[@ICantSplel]

Weirdest glitch has to be Lydia dying in a cave then her body showing up in my house in Whiterun for some reason... just lying there.

[@waschmaschinenkran]

ICantSplel well Now you will know the sorrow of those lives you have ended

[@ICantSplel]

Argus Horstus Hubertus .Schnitzelkönig So many scientists...

[@troublesome3379]

ICantSplel that's nothing one time i found parthonax's skeleton on the bridge when ever i entered whiterun even though i hadn't killed him and he was still chilling at the top of the throat of the world. luckily this meant i could help the blades again without having to kill him

[@fieldofsenses]

ICantSplel Weirdest glitch has to be when I was going down a dungeon, and I stepped somewhere that led me to a infinite floor glitch. Interestingly, I was placed at the beginning of the same dungeon, and upstairs... with no loading screens.

[@Poetabrasileiro]

Charles Patrick My best glitch was in my Mansion in Falkreath. I've adopted a child in Whiterun and bandits were raiding my house. I was playing tag with her at the time when they arrived, and amist the battle what i see is Lucia brandishing a knife to Bandits and murdering them like a boss. After that, my girl was on a frenzy and kept killing everything around my house including the livestock i've ordered from my housecarl. Took some time to get her back at normal, but after that i've installed a Mod that would allow me to take her as a Follower, because FUCK HOUSECARLS, my adopted daughter is a BAD ASS!

[@Murdrad]

to defend my intelligence. I went with empire because i had no fucking idea what was happening, there was a dragon and every thing else was background nose.

[@Murdrad]

Also I joined them later because i figured "The Empire" would have mas denero a los Rebels

[@314159someguy]

I went with the empire because I spent 3 hours talking to various people in Skyrim who weren't blinded by hero worship for one side or the other and reading up about both sides on every forum I could find. To each his own. (; ...And just in case you were wondering: Ulfric and his lackeys are all racist jerks. The only thing that they had going for them--fighting the elves and ending the white-gold concordant--is already on General Tullius's long-term agenda. Skyrim by itself is in no state to take on the elves.

[@user-vu7me6ix1f]

Also that Empire guy didn't come off half as bad :/

[@Murdrad]

***** Thank for agreeing with me Frank

[@user-vu7me6ix1f]

***** Wow, you actually know binary??

[@servebotfrank4082]

I once jumped on a bandwaggon full of cabbages when the wagon went flying at 300 mph at some poor old woman rambling to her son about how she just saw a dragon. She died and the son couldn't give less of a shit.

[@AlchemistoftheSea]

I just giggled like a loon so hard the entire office looked at me funny. I can't find the fucks to give. This comment is amazing.

[@CorporealHunter]

My cabbages!!

[@wwgtg12]

Off with their heads! One for every head of cabbage!

[@FirmSoul4]

Loving the Avatar references!

[@joshuakim5240]

omfg i did something similar, except when i jumped onto the cabbage cart it spazzed out and shot through me, somehow killing me with cabbages rolling all over my body.

[@cristianleiva-ramirez4239]

I remember I killed a dragon once, but I didn't get it's soul. I kept walking, but then the corpse started following me and ragdolling where ever I went. In my house, in the cities, in the dungeons, in the freaking SOUL CAIREN! Everywhere that f-ing dragon never let me live it down that I killed him.

[@crawlingboy]

It was haunting you

[@uzzi3760]

@@crawlingboy lol

[@uzzi3760]

U still remember that experience from this comment now?

[@trevorburke8660]

I had this happen with a mammoth except it didnt register that it was dead and would still attack but couldnt be damaged anymore

[@SuperGoose42]

This sounds like a fun D&D prompt

[@fds7476]

So, I once loaded my game where me and my companions were in Solitude, gearing up to set out and face the terrible creatures at Jurgen Windcaller's gravesite. And then suddenly, my companions started to run away from me. Very very quickly. They sprinted out the city gates and down to the harbourfront. That was the last time I saw them.

[@iainballas2508]

Sounds like a smart thing to do, the way we all roll x3

[@themysteriousfigure0]

One time I was talking to some dude in the Whiterun Jarl's palace, and then a dinner plate came out of nowhere and smashed into his face. It was stuck there for a while.

[@MintMovies]

That is glorious

[@noahchmielewski1347]

That’s probably the most realistic thing that happened in the game

[@airesbattleblade732]

PRAISE THE SUN!!

[@ramirogalletti]

my glich was when i saw a butter fly in a rock and decided to "jump on it" and the damn thing when fliying up WITH ME STILL STANDING,

[@sandrols7]

+Ramiro Galletti that kind of takes all the thrill out of riding a dragon, does it?

[@ramirogalletti]

prettymuch

[@kimurain6956]

my favorite glitch is that I was fighting bandits on my way to the dark brotherhood sanctuary and I was using a bow, a butterfly flew by and took a arrow. I guess they still have collision detection on player characters and the like. I then made it a personal goal to hit as many butterflies with arrows as possible

[@uzzi3760]

Lol

[@Descro382]

That sounds perfectly normal to me

[@wisdomball4584]

i assassinated a wizard and then he fell through the ground and rose back up behind me.

[@pariahapocalypse9719]

looks like the tables have turned.

[@sb_moviebob4054]

+Pariah Apocalypse I laughed to hard at this

[@DumbTomato]

To quote conan the barbarian, even in death, a wizard cannot be trusted.

[@RecordedMercury]

I could just imagine the mage saying "U fokin wot m8?"

[@muskatDR]

Sounds like he was roleplaying online

[@patroka]

I remember that in skyrim, the first time you witness a dragon being resurrected, it immediately flew of, attacked a mammoth, and was then killed by said mammoth, which had taken almost no damage. I will always remember that mammoths are apparently far more powerful than flying magic dragons.

[@Akiraspin]

My favorite glitch was when I saw a mammoth flying around roaring and breathing fire. Backwards.

[@blighteous5135]

My weirdest one is when I was running into a cave and after I got in the cave, the only colors I could see was 10% orange and 90% black so I, who was blind and swinging all over the place got killed by a group of trolls.

[@halohead5655]

when i changed gender every time i fast traveled or entered a room, but kept the same face

[@Never_heart]

I was killed by a cabbage cart. It started moving and I got closer. The cart then shot towards me, pinning me to the Riverwood trader as my life drained..... to this day I have not been able to recreate it

[@Akiraspin]

GeakGuySheldon Dude I had something similar where I tried jumping on top of the cart and it instantly killed me and launched my corpse on the roof of the blacksmith.

[@timothyhayes9724]

Akiraspin GeakGuySheldon Don't f*** with cabbage carts. They will f*** your s*** up.

[@denny141196]

The biggest problem I have with Skyrim is friendly fire. If you employ a mercenary or follower and accidentally breathe on them, they won't rest until your skull becomes bonemeal.

[@KhanhNguyen-zo4lj]

+Denny Chen my guess is you play a mage. try using block and have a dialogue with them.( it work most of the time)

[@thezdude8512]

It's even worse when they're healing in a pile of enemies, and you kill the mercenary you paid money for without realizing, and THEN... You forget they died and then you lose the stuff you gave them.

[@Fil1204_]

+zachary neil who the fuck hires mercenaries in skyrim?

[@Fil1204_]

Whiterun Guard yes but not for actual protection or to fight

[@jacobdecobba7743]

+Whiterun Guard What about an arrow to the knees. Sorry I had to.

[@punhub1941]

my best glitch is when i became jesus (i killed a fox, dragged its body into a river and as soon as its floppy body touched the water it came to life)

[@Whydoineedahandlepissoff]

theflyingdugong my best glitch is where river wood decided to disappear no people wer there and the buildings didn't load so

[@vucer]

Well it is a Bethesda game , harhar

[@JowoHD]

as the old saying goes, you can lead a fox to water but you cant make it STAY FUCKING DEAD

[@classyglassy2035]

Just because lots of people seem to want to share their Skyrim glitch stories- I decided to go on a killing spree in Riften one time in order to do some power leveling, and after the killing stopped, I went back to examine the bodies for gold and the like and I found what I can only describe as a wormhole connected to a fountain of blood. There was a constant stream of blood spurting out of thin air, apparently where I'd burst an artery on of one of my enemies.

[@BlackLegion12621]

I was tasked to kill a traveling noble in Solitude by order of the Night Mother. So I stabbed her right in the middle of town square, but it was okay because the game said I was hidden. After stripping her corpse of everything (because I was a horder) I left her body out in the streets as I made my escape. When I came back, I found at least 7 guards who had just noticed the naked corpse, and had all gathered round to "inspect" it, by bending down and touching it.

[@intergalactichumanempire9759]

Peter Hanson By any chance, was that hold taken over by a Military Committee of necrophiles?

[@mousetrap773]

Lol same thing happened to me but instead of a lady it was the Penitus Oculatus agent

[@Matrilwood]

My first couple playthroughs, I got confused as to why the intro segment kept changing from playthrough to playthrough. It later turns out that I was so busy worrying about being *CHASED BY A FUCKING DRAGON ATTACKING THE TOWN* that I had completely missed the fact that there was some sort of moral/ethical decision to make over who you would run away with when you were being *CHASED BY A FUCKING DRAGON ATTACKING THE TOWN!*

[@greenjacket4605]

I fucking noticed the first time I play. I take the time to actually immerse myself as my character.

[@peacefulltoucan]

When I played I didn't even see the imperials. I ran after the rebels so fast that I only found out there was a decision from watching this video

[@eewweeppkk]

There isn't a moral/ethical decision. There is literally no difference between who you choose. The only difference is the dialogue for the next 5 minutes.

[@ColonelZoom]

Funnily enough, I first ran of with the stormcloak- dude, then somehow lost him, run a few metres with the imperial guy and in the end found myself back at the side of the stormcloak. And I was like: "I have no idea what just happened, or what I did, or how I even managed to lose the guy I was supposed to follow, but it had a dragon in it, so it was totally epic!"

[@iaincampbell5453]

I just saw an objective "escape with Rolf or Hadvar" and thought who the fuck is this Rolf man? Again, more preoccupied with this Hadvar man reminding me to stay close to this lovely wooden wall to avoid the fucking fire breathing lizard, then slaughtering men that, to my knowledge, had forgotten about dragons and were some weird fuckers living in a cave.

[@elishahahn3064]

My best glitch is when i tried getting off my horse and walking, but instead i was running extremely fast with galloping noises in the background.

[@RobertAniFreak]

How to win the game? Duel wield axes and use a speed shout, then swing your arms around like a "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman" until everything dies, then if your a Argonian just use your daily skill which heals you faster then chugging 5 potions

[@magnusdarkslayer3012]

press (~) Type "TGM" (toggle god mode) You win.

[@SlyLilFoxo]

Nero Goldmane Only works on computer Skyrim but yeah.

[@RobertSilvermyst]

I don't know, I went through most of the game one-shotting a lot of creatures with my khajiit dropping into stealth and sniping everyone with the bow. And for the dragons I simply add a poison to my arrow that does a rather nasty amount of damage, making even the final battle not that difficult.

[@the-thane]

Only if you aren't cool. Use fisticuffs to kill everything, even the godzilla. No radioactive lasers, because that's also cheating.

[@Senthain]

I think the dual-wielding would work better with an Orc.

[@DrPinkieDie]

my best glitch was during the opening credits scene, the wheels starting bugging out, and tried to fuse with the horse, and then we started doing backflips, I was in a tree for a while, and then we trotted off a cliff into helgen proper, all the while none of the NPC's noticed a thing, they just kept on with their dialog, and eventually we ended up stuck upside down on a building because our horse must've gained infinite density and shot off into space

[@Guru_1092]

Similar thing happened to me, except the wheels just flew off, and the wagon was left upside down with all of our heads clipping through the ground.

[@MysteriumArcanum]

I had a similar story except there was no dialogue or music. We were just riding silently for a bit then just as we were about to enter Helgen the cart flew over the town and crashed into a mountain

[@trenchcoatjoe1891]

I wish the civil war questline was better integrated into the main story. It didn't feel like anything really changed afterwards.

[@onyxtay7246]

It was kind of disappointing, but I did like how if you didn't finish the civil war when you were doing the main story you got to put people in charge of certain cities. I do wish Maven had given me some sort of reward for negotiating her into being jarl of Riften though.

[@ickkck1100]

Sam Rader I actually think its a quite realistic feature.

[@davidvanau3182]

Sam Rader MOOOOOODS!

[@trenchcoatjoe1891]

***** I shouldn't have to mod a fucking game because the developers didn't do it right.

[@davidvanau3182]

That's not what I'm saying. I'm just suggesting something like Civil War Overhaul or WARZONES to help you with your plight, good sir.

[@Thejigholeman]

The one thing i hated about skyrim was that just about everything was indoors, never out in the lush open world where all the nice trees are. a mission would tell you: Go to the glade of unimaginable beauty and splender. There you will find a dark damp cave. Go into the cave and get me the sword of "i bet you wish you were outside right now". then head over to fort "Just like every other fort" and get me the sacred kneebrace of saint "wishiwasinthewillows". then bring it to the crypt of "just like the first one you go to in this game" and fight some Draugr. Draugr, the reanimated corpses of Dead Nords. Not to be confused with zombies, which are the Reanimated corpses of dead humans that may include Nords. There are different because reasons.

[@nexzaros7951]

Draugr served dragons, got mummified sorta by them, and then continued to serve dragons. Zombies are amateurs.

[@ObiJuanKenobi3]

Zombycow that's why I rarely use fast travel in Skyrim, it leads to a real sense of adventure and wonderment

[@MyH3ntaiGirl]

Can zombie use powerful magic? Can zombie shout at you and make you went flying or lose your weapon ?

[@dunka12]

One night a glowing ghost on horseback, got hit by Giant, so i put a wish on that beautiful star flying through the sky...

[@tarekmoneimsaid]

the time my horse finished off the dragon. I swear I thought at one moment it was going to shout FUS RO DAH (I guess it held back in order to hide the fact it's the real dragonborn).

[@Alanahhhh]

Jordis got smashed up by a giant but didnt actually die, she disappeared for a while but then as I was looking around for a corpse she came sliding into view on her back chatting away to me and she just wouldnt get back up. I walked around for ages with her just sliding along behind me.

[@conoromalley6355]

Alice Clarke I had that same one! That was my favorite!

[@Gboy86ify]

My favorite glitch was and always will be the dragon corpse that follows you whenever you fast travel.

[@skyguyflyinghigh]

i once had a really strange bug where for some reason both ulfic stormcloak and general tullius spawned naked outside whiterun, then proceeded to get into a fist fight where neither could die, so they just continued fighting naked for eternity, i believe they are still there.

[@camelthegamer7165]

Dude, check, just go check and let me know real quick!

[@orangeboi3387]

ah yes, the true battle for the position of the tru king of skyrim

[@akiraigarashi2874]

Seems a better alternative than losing a ton of people in the war pointlessly lol

[@Sayrden]

Best glitch? A giant smashed Lydia and myself into pancakes. After reloading, she was still dead on the ground. However, her lifeless corpse kept following me around like a normal follower, merrily sliding along the ground after me.

[@TsukiKage21]

I am very pleased he liked this Elder Scrolls. (I will never forget you hovering-over-the-ground-lady...)

[@SadButter]

Skyrim is a kind of game in which if you start listing all the flaws you would almost literally NEVER run out

[@deadramaster]

especially when you start adding in mods, sure I love the horseback combat mod but why Is that custom weapon I downloaded hovering 3 feet away from my hand, oh well TSUNAMI MAGIC GO! oh crap I drowned everyone

[@ytstopemailingme]

Chompski There is an update already that is official that add proper horse combat.

[@KingM1023]

best way to play is with infinite carry weight. I love immersion and all but it's pretty annoying to travel back to town every 2 caves to unload your helmet collection I also find it fun to try to collect every armor set and unique weapon in the game

[@bossmugga1]

How do you play with the most carry weight?

[@KingM1023]

if you play on PC, use the "~" next to the "1" and type player.modav carryweight * *= the amount of carry weight you want if on PS3 of Xbox, then tough

[@archiboldterwilager2563]

King M The alchemy glitch has console players sorted though, all you need is the fortify carry weight enchantment and a ridiculously powerful fortify enchanting potion.

[@KingM1023]

true. but I'd say that takes a lot more time and resources to pull off.

[@archiboldterwilager2563]

It's not as though Skyrim players don't have both of those things in spades though.

[@ace_ofchaos9292]

I always loved picking a random direction, going in it, than being forcibly drafted into the local giant space program.

[@TheBangooman]

I guess the weirdest glitch I had was in Riverwood, in the general store, I did my usual routine of putting a pot in the vendor's head and the physics on the pot glitched out hard, it started vibrating at supersonic speed and doing that ragdoll bug noise and after a few seconds the dude died and he got dragged all over the room like a paper man following the crazy vibrating pot. All while her sister kept talking about how we needed to get back the golden statue thingie, good times.

[@EmailGMSmith]

9 years later and you can't say Yahtzee didn't get his wish. Spunkgargleweewee is dead. Long live Jiminy Cockthroat.

[@GlassbrainZ]

Truly, the finger curled upon the monkey's paw that day.

[@cereal_chick2515]

Oh wow, it's a blast from the past to hear Yahtzee praising an open-world game for being different. Little did he know the glut of open-world games that the AAA industry would become...

[@aleksapetrovic6519]

Watch his review of Assassin's Creed 1 and watch Yathzee slowly dying inside over the years.

[@HQ_Default]

Here's a glitch: One time, I was just walking through the mountain pass between ivarstead and helgen, and then an imperial soldier on a horse blasted upward like a rocket, did a zig-zag, and initiated warp drive off into the sunset.

[@markpridemore7603]

My favorite was when I was walking in the swamps south of Solitude and occasionally an elk would fall from the sky a few dozen yards in front of me.

[@StratBlackFishRa]

I had a neat one off glitch where after a large battle the invisible Valkyrie descended onto the battlefield and promptly ignored the spirits of the fallen and instead decided to take their weapons and shields. All at once they began slowly floating straight up so high they disappeared. I came back later to find bodies still around but the weapons and shields were no where to be found.

[@RoyalFusilier]

Yeah, I have to say, the game really, really didn't help itself present a choice that could go either way when the first you see of the Empire in Skyrim is that they're literally prepared to execute people by the job-lot despite no actual orders to do so, just because they were in a random area at a random time, and more importantly, they were about to do that to ME. It really doesn't help motivate me to give them a chance.

[@ir7358]

They did that to justify joining the rebels,because if they didint everyone would have joined the empire

[@matthewfrye6061]

Nyctas Cadellidon But then you go to Windhelm and figure out it's the equivalent of Little Rock during the Civil Rights Movement. And it does not help if you decided to be an elf.

[@TyrBarghest]

I made my choice based upon facts. Stormcloaks want to worship Talos as a Divine and the Thalmor doesn't think Talos should be worshipped as one. A Divine is a creature that used to be Aedrea but lost all their powers when creating Earth and creatures. Whatever Talos did to win such respect, was not on the same level as creating a whole planet and the creatures living there. Thus giving up your godhood.

[@thunderbug8640]

Tyr Barghest I didnt care too much about the Talos banning stuff, i just couldnt join the Stormcloaks cos they are all incredibly racist and shortsighted lol and although im an Imperial which the Nords dont seem to hate too much. My adventuring buddy is a Dark Elf so those racist Stormcloaks can eat my sword :P

[@TyrBarghest]

callum flude Have you ever just sat there in Ulfric's hall and listened? I swear it's like night and day when you compare it to what Tulius and Rikke are talking about. When I first started playing Skyrim, that's what made the choice so hard. The Stormcloaks were all racist but extremely honorable and the Imperial wasn't racist but were incredibly dishonorable.

[@Oedurribeiro]

Glitch swaping comment chain! The best glitch i remenber was when i saw a Whiterun Guard swiming in the middle of the air and drowing a few steps later.

[@dankmoo]

Mine was when I became a were-vampire and murdered everyone and never got a bounty.

[@TemplarTate]

dank moo My best glitch was when I decided to collect a TON of gems and put them into a pot. Eventually, the gems inside would move around so much that some would go through the pot and hit the ground. Frustrated, I jumped inside the pot with the intent to "stomp" on them, when I found I slowly descended through the pot and then the floor, as if I took a warp pipe. I ended up returning to the entrance of my house, where the pot of gems was. My two worst glitches was when my camera was stuck in Third-Person mode (I fight in First-Person mode, makes it easier to shoot arrows/spells), and when I ended up getting a black screen RIGHT WHEN I left a dungeon, saving my progress.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

This an Oblivion glitch and I attended to do it a lot but I'll say it anyway. I was bored and had a nice collections of staffs like the Wabajack and Sanguine's Rose so I continually used them on guards and then resurrect them with Staff of Worms so I could repeat the process. I also used a deadric artifact that was a hammer that paralyzed people and strangely after a while of resurrecting and killing with it bodies would just turn into goop when dead or paralyzed. It was actually pretty funny resurrecting the goop, watching it glow purple and then a guard reforms...only to melt again when the time runs out.

[@TheGizimboGamer]

I have a continuing glitch in Skyrim to whenever I fast travel to the giant stronghold thing closest to Whiterun, when the loading screen leaves I see a floating mammoth and when I kill a giant it suddenly falls to the ground... I have started exploiting this to get mammoth tusks and make profit Another on in the exact same location was when a innocent fox gently sneezed in the general area of a giant and so the giant hit with it's massive club sending the poor thing flying into the sky. Yet another hilarious glitch is when you shoot a draugr so that it sends the body clipping into one of the draugr doors and they get trapped. I have managed to capture this glitch in the wild and have uploaded it *cough* *cough*

[@Oedurribeiro]

TheGizimboGamer At the Companions Quest Line at the final mission (i think) there was a giant frostbite spider, for me instead of falling down straight at my face it just floated there until i shot it a few times and it died.

My favorite Skyrim glitch was when I had a mammoth spawn in a tree and stand there while everything in the area tried to kill it including the giant that was supposed to be protecting it.

[@Chroniclerope]

My best one was when a dragon flew out of the ground, with a giant riding it until he fell off, died at my feet and the dragon decided he was late for tea.

[@Shadethewolfy]

I always go with the Empire no matter what my character's plans are because if you go with Hadvar, you get free iron ingots, which means a jumpstart to your Heavy armor skills. Though in SkyRe, crafting requires more materials, so I guess it evens itself out.

Had a bunch of bugs with Serana. In the quest where you had to gather water to get entrance to the temple, she would keep looping around in a single area and not follow me. Had to quicksave to fix that. Another time was after beating Harkon. She got stuck in an attack position and it wasn't possible to talk to her at all. Had to beat her up to return her to normal. Oh and a bonus bug with Aela. After getting the first totem, she just forgot about it and disappeared from the game lol. Somehow the fix for this was to sleep for 2 days and she just magically appeared beside my bed and the quest finished normally.

[@Un_Popular_Opinions]

Even Yahtzee knows the difference between wyverns and dragons. Hence why he called then godzillas

[@Un_Popular_Opinions]

***** Though the universe of Elder Scrolls has reasons behind calling their wyverns dragons. It's because 4 legged dragons don't exist in their universe. Like the Dwarves (which are actually just elves), they only have wyverns. In the sense of a multiverse theory (and some liberal application of Whovian logic) the word "Dragon" must have bled through the fabric of the universes enough that the word 'Wyvern' doesn't exist in their language or world. The same can be said against 'Dwarves' of TES, being that the word bled through, blah blah blah, elfs that were highly skilled in crafting with metal called their race Dwarf.

my best bug so far is when i was fighting a dragon and suddenly the dragon stopped caring about me and went off to fight some bandits a few miles further. so i chased it and apparently the bandits did spawn but their clothing didn't, so i found myself fighting a dragon and a bunch of naked bandits. had some nude mods so they where full monty

[@SurrealKeenan]

contrary to popular opinion, skyrim isn't actually a game. It's an enormous character creator. You spend the first 5 minutes choosing race and appearance by shifting nobs and the next 40+ hours choosing your characters skills by rapidly jamming the attack buttons they just forgot to add the actual game at the end

[@cheatexp]

bro that is the game

[@drnolegs797]

r/woosh

[@joeymitchell2862]

for me it was a game with horrible combat design, repetitive, really bad inventory design, no quick-slots for spells or potions or backup weapons so you have to play open inventory simulator every time you fight, which I guess was their way of trying to make the combat interesting, because besides that chore the combat was just mash the attack button until the bad guy falls over. It also had horrible voice acting, game breaking glitches and glitchy animations, not a very intriguing story and no character development, and there were only 2 or 3 different kinds of monsters in the world so even exploring that felt repetitive. Every dungeon in Skyrim looks the same. The music was pretty good, and that was it. One of the most disappointing games I've ever played.

[@NatjoOfficial]

(I know I’m late on this but fuck it) Spore fits the title of large character creator better than Skyrim

[@protiod]

[@TheTrueWolfboy]

The imperials just kind of assume you're a rebel despite not having any files on you and the fact that you're not wearing rebel clothing. However, they are still the good guys in the war.

[@bjh2o]

I don't think it's quite that simple. From what I gather, it comes down to a philosophy debate: freedom vs. order. Both are very, very necessary. But which is more important?

[@TheTrueWolfboy]

bjh2o It comes down to "Possibility to kill Thalmor some day?" vs "Oh, yay, we can worship Talos for the _week before the Thalmor kill us all_." But in all seriousness, Ulfric is a greedy, power-hungry murderer and a liar. As Saerlund Law-Giver said- the cause is true, but the man is a lie.

[@bjh2o]

TheTrueWolfboy I get that. And that's a big part of what makes it complex. But his cause isn't wholly unjust. The Nordic way was literally dying and in very real danger of being lost completely. Yes, Ulfric had his own selfish intentions. But the defense of his culture always struck me as the main objective he wanted to achieve.

[@TheTrueWolfboy]

bjh2o The Nord way wasn't, and isn't, at risk. Talos is not the Nord way, it's one small part of it. And before Ulfric, everyone _still worshipped Talos_. His petty rebellion gave the Thalmor cause to up the ante in Skyrim. Torygg would have supported Ulfric's ideals if asked. Elisef said as much. Ulfric murdered him for the throne. He's considered a hero for what would now be considered war crimes in Markarth. Under Imperial rule, the Nords can do anything they want besides openly worship Talos. You cannot have a just society under a corrupt ruler. Ulfric is a racist. Ulfric is a murderer. Ulfric is a self-absorbed, avaricious coward. Torygg was a fair ruler who cared about all others, and he was murdered for the throne. For the good of the people of Skyrim- nay, for the good of all of Tamriel, the Empire must win the war. The Empire needs to regain its hold over the other Provinces, regain its former glory, and strike back against the Aldmeri Dominion. I respect the Stormcloaks for fighting for what they believe in, but they are doing it in ignorance.

[@TheTrueWolfboy]

***** I normally side with Ulfric and then go through the stages of my character realizing he's a prick before I get the Crown, and then I betray the Stormcloaks for the Empire. The Aldmeri Dominion is basically the Nazi Empire. I ain't touchin' that shit. I hate the Thalmor with a passion. Hammerfell would sooner side with Skyrim than the Dominion, and if you know the history between them that's saying something.

[@remen8021]

My favourite glitch is getting flung halfway across the universe by a dragon, and that time slowing ability which decides to not turn itself off randomly so you just become the flash

[@hansnorleaf]

Also I´m pretty sure that the "rim" in Skyrim is not about the circumference of the only female puppy in Paw Patrol (as implied), but rather about rime ice and you must admit the name fits very well then. You spend a lot of time under the open sky and there is a lot of ice.

[@SomeGuy-cn5vm]

One time when I was woefully underleveled I found some dragon priest on top of a mountain. I managed to kill it, but as I approached the word wall I stepped on a random ribcage that was lying on the ground and was promptly launched ten feet into the air and straight off the side of the mountain.

[@TXFDA]

On a more Skyrim related topic than my last comment 2 weeks ago.. The major issue I have with most open world games, especially Bethesda ones, is that there's really no replay value aside from just..playing the game again, and maybe using a different method of attack. The game doesn't change based on what you do. At the start, you get to choose one of two people to escape with, but both ways lead to almost identical missions. The only difference being which Jarl you talk to. And even then they both give you similar missions. The game doesn't change based on your options as a play. If I kill 10 people and there's no witnesses, I can come back later, and nothing changes. No one seems to care that I killed those 10 people. There's no one trying to find me, no wanted posters. Hell, there's a side mission in Skyrim where people flip out because someone was murdered in a town, and they ask you to help find the killer. So OBVIOUSLY death is something they care about. But if YOU kill someone, they don't care. You could leave bodies all over the place in that very same town, and the other NPCs wouldn't look twice. There's also no game-changing things either. Like, I can't use a fireball to light a house on fire, then come back later to see that house has burned down for the rest of the game. I can go into a town wearing full Daederic armor with a huge sword and a fireball in my other hand, and no one cares. Kids will still walk up to you and ask you to play tag, while other npcs look at you and think you'll be a good person to ask for help with their meaningless chore. I know it would be difficult to code, and probably take extra time. But I think it would be worth it. A game doesn't really feel like a real world, if nothing you do effects anything. It just feels like you're taking part in a pre-written story and your only input is telling the character where to go. And in an "OPEN WORLD" game, that's not exactly a good thing to feel. Sure, it's an open world game, but it's still really closed off and doesn't change much.

[@SporeFreak2010]

No replay value!? What are you NUTS!! Theirs TONS of replay value (assuming you haven't meticulously explored the entire map and all the dlc's in one or two sittings Just so you wouldn't have to play it again) which is NOT the way to play this game. Me, i STILL haven't even completed the quest that the graybeards give you to go get that horn or jorgan windcaller or whatever. FUCK THAT NOISE, EVERY SINGLE TIME i attempt to even start that quest i just go "Uhhg" and start over. Its the main reason why i installed the Alternate start: live another life mod from the Nexus. I'm going to explore the map eat and sleep in towns, roleplay, Live in the world of skyrim. THAT'S How you play this game (for me at least) And for me the game will have Infinite replayability because i don't do the main quest.

[@TXFDA]

SporeFreak2010 The thing is, "that's not the way to play this game" is exactly how I tend to play. I see no reason NOT to do everything possible in one playthrough. Do the main quest and some side quests. Do some more side quests and explore. Then do some DLC. Then more sidequests and DLC. Until I've filled out as much of the map that I can, and found as much as I can. Don't get me wrong, I've made a couple characters, to try out different play styles. Stealth/bow, cool ninja assassin with dual daggers, generic sword/shield nord. But I still always had one character I played with more, and tried to fill out everything I could. It has replay value, a BIT, because there's a strong likelihood that you're going to miss something. Plus you can play as a few different playstyles. But the problem is, the game doesn't change. No matter what you do, the game is always the same. There's no big life-changing decisions in the game, that hugely alter stuff. I'm not given a big decision to save, or destroy an entire town of innocent people, that if killed, are gone for the entire rest of the game(and impacts the game in other ways too). There's no real Karma system either. I can kill as many people as I want, and as long as no one sees me, no one cares about the hundreds of bodies piling up in the streets. It just gets a bit old, starting a new game, and it being exactly the same as every other playthrough. In my opinion, Fallout has more replay value, simply due to stuff like Megaton. And the one town where you get to decide who ends up as the leader. Things that actually change an area fairly drastically, depending on your involvement. Skyrim doesn't really have anything like that. You just follow through each mission, and by the end, you're leader of everything, and saved the world.

[@SporeFreak2010]

txfnero Well, to each his own i suppose :/

[@shintao537]

Who needs replay value when you can (and I have) go nearly 200 hours and barely even touch the main quest? Why worry about playing a second time when you'll be 90 by the time you're done with the first? Your other ideas about persistent consequences and property damage are wonderful however. Only problem is that reminds me of Peter Molyneux's Fable promises, until someone explained to him that a fluid storyline that changes based on the player's actions is pretty much impossible.

[@bootlegjoe3412]

[@spionpingu]

[@1toncheese]

my brother got into a dragon fight at the college of winterhold, killed it, its corpse landed on the walkway. he reloaded the save and the dragons skin was back and it was humping the college walls. (games are bad at remembering where things with ragdoll physics are meant to be)

[@xXmutantpancakeXx]

I got a glitch where I killed a dragon, and it rolled down a hill as I took it soul. Then, whenever I entered a new area for the rest of the game (until I logged off) There was an extremely glitched dead dragon to the right-hand side of me.

[@OsamaBinLooney]

my best glitch came when I was trying to do the exploit on console that lets you be both a werewolf and a vampire lord at the same time, somehow I messed it up and I turned into a half werewolf where I was in human form but I had a wolf head and claws but the rest of me was in human form

[@rockowlgamer631]

[@Beauweir]

[@shelbylongbottom5865]

My best Skyrim glitch was when I was just walking along and suddenly a horse landed on me. I died instantly. I think somehow a giant must have thrown it into the stratosphere. Anyway, after the horse incident, I found that a kettle came flying at me from behind. Thinking this was a quest starter, I turned around. Instead of starting a quest however, Barbas the talking dog slowly glitched his way out of the ground and started running around in a circle, his head held to the air, barking endlessly. Somehow he kept following me until I thought "Screw this" so I Unrelenting Force'd him to f*ck off.

[@Pizzarugi]

My problem with Skyrim is that the dungeons are too linear. Travel through this twisting hallway, kill the boss, take the shortcut out. If you've played Oblivion, most dungeons in it had several floors and tons of different paths that usually lead to deadends and no shortcuts back out. And I'm disappointed that there is no mod to overhaul these existing dungeons either, even after 3 years of this game being out.

[@creator-link]

Actually Skyrim is now on the fridge because of gameplays lmao

[@TheWittenburger]

Alright. Let me just say this. Neither Skyrim nor Morrowind are bad games. Liking Skyrim doesn't make you an ignorant TES noob, and liking Morrowind doesn't make you a nostalgic fanboy. Skyrim is more visually pleasing, and the dialogue and overall roleplaying was better. Morrowind was more immersive, and the combat system, while being a bit clunky, was more realistic in that it took more factors into account. The people who refuse to play Skyrim because it "isn't as good as the old ones" are really missing out, as are the people who refuse to play Morrowind because of the outdated graphics.

[@eewweeppkk]

Hell Mage Have you never seen Morrowind? It came out over a decade ago. It is indeed like taking to your eyes with a rusty cheese grater.

[@FusRoDah2]

Morrowinds combat takes more factors into account, but you are literally fighting the combat system the whole game, i found myself sneaking around and reading books instead, i just cannot deal with that retarded ass combat system, Skyrims combat flows, it feels like Chivalry Medieval Warfare, just a lot smoother and less laggy.

Fallout 3/NV and Skyrim have a unique problem, I love them so much so I play them a lot. But then I get to a point where I still love them but theres nothing left to do and I get depressed.

We need a new Fallout, and not that new MMO bollocks.

[@williamwilliams6358]

Petar Jovanovic The MMO is being published by the parent company but is being developed by Zenimax Online not Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda has been seen photographing areas around Boston, and the generally agreed upon rumor is that they're developing Fallout 4 which will take place in post-apocalyptic Boston.

Petar Jovanovic The only thing that looked good to me about ESO was the character creator. But that's not enough for me to buy a new console, or get a powerful enough PC and pay a subscription fee.

William Williams :O

fallout NV crashes too much,or wont even launch Dx but it's a great game :(

[@TheMan-cb8ch]

You know you COULD try doing a different attack strategy like say, using unarmed with a cat heavy armor and some fancy glove enchants, useing a bow as your primary and pwning anyone who comes within line of sight, playing hitman with your pricky little daggers, OR sneaking around like hitman, but stealing all their shit first and THEN kill them. If you take the last option you can sneak up on a briar heart forsworn and rip their heart out by pick pocketing them. this also works on many other enemies that have heart or skull in their inventory when you pickpocket them.

[@mcFreaki]

my favourite combination is bow+sneak because then nobody sees you coming ever.

[@mcFreaki]

can't you? i found a way (i usually have 1-handed as a backup though on my bowthief builds)

[@beany2933]

deathsChemist My sneaky character became very OP with a little enchanting help. I mainly used a daedric bow and arrows which I bought from a mod follower who also has a small shop for some reason, and obviously stealth, whilst using the gloves that mean you do double sneak attack damage. However I also had two daedric daggers for close quarters sneaking (quite easy with my level 100 sneak skill) but I ditched a dagger for the invisibilty spell which I managed to get by spamming the muffle spell till I was high enough level in Illusion to get. And as a last resort, two ebony waraxes both with fire enchants. So I could basically own anyone an anything, whilst hiding two feet in front of them in broad daylight. So to recap, whilst sneaking I did 6x damage whilst using a bow, 30x damage whilst using a dagger and if all else fails just swing wildly with my two battleaxes (which I named Victor and Sally :3 )

[@ldmt1995]

So your guy goes trough their skin and rips they'r organs without anybody noticing? I can see how that would be pretty fun.

[@mcFreaki]

yeah but i was doing it without being cheaty- earning all my items and only buying what was available you know? plus i had my own aesthetic considerations- i'm willing to sacrifice some power for a weapon i like the look of better, so i was rollin' with a steel sword (obviously upgraded to fuck) because everything above that with the exception of dragonbone looks awful in my book.

Whilst leaving whiterun to go.... somewhere I saw a mammoth ahead of me. He started to spin slowly, then got faster and faster until he flew straight up into the sky, still spinning, like a rocket launch. Legend has it he spins to this day

[@AudoricArt]

I once was fighting a draugr that was on a higher ledge, and hit it with an arrow so hard that it flew up, and got its head lodged between the wall and the rafters. I wouldn't even call that a glitch, it's just a testament of how detailed the object borders are.

[@thebobbicus]

I shot one into a portcullis at one point (can't remember exactly where) but his corpse prevented the thing from opening, so I couldn't continue the quest and had to restart from the start of the dungeon because I was a noob and never used quicksave
