The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Not on Xbox but, since the patch, my game has been doing much better at not crashing or having any glitches or bugs. Though I never did experience any of the, what seemed like, most common glitches/bugs. All dragons always actually died, never flew backwards, always landed, and none of the other weird glitches mentioned in this thread.

About the only things I ever experienced was maybe three bugged quests. The Imperial Legion quest-line, I had trouble getting the Legate of the camp to recognize I was there and to give me the "Reporting in" dialogue (fixed by not fast traveling to the camp, and only traveling to a place somewhat nearby). The other bug is this one with the Thieves Guild:
By far the most annoying thing that's happened to me is that I can't play for more than four hours (sometimes I can get five) without a silent crash to desktop, even with the 4gb mod.

Man, either I totally suck, or Kvenel is one bad mother.
Has a boatload of health, dual wields like a madman hitting me like a truck, summons a frost atronach, and to add insult to injury, a wight dragur joins in with him. It's like an impossible fight for me :/

Edit: Well that was a crazy awesome glitch.
After getting my *** handed back to me like 5 times in a row in under 10 seconds, I managed to lure Kvenel the Tongue alone to me in the hallway making the fight difficult but manageable without that frost mage dragur and his atronach. Still hits me like a truck unless I perfectly time my shield blocks, but here's the cool part:
My perk of slowing down time when a mob uses a power attack got stuck so time was perma slowed and I just managed to whail on him while he was frozen in time >:3

What weapon do you use? I use sword and heavy armor and I had no problem with him on Master. I knocked him down with unrelenting force and just used some power attacks on him and he went down pretty fast. Sword has around 314 with 38 fire on it but did pretty good damage to him :x

Probably a repost, but it just popped up on Facebook.

Anyone want a snack?

I just beat the main story line quest with just over 80 hours. I did a ton of side stuff too but i guess the extra quest make up a larger chunk of the game.

Anyway now that the main quest is done, it seems that the bigger problem lies at hand. the civil war.


spoiler for those that didnt get closer to the end of the game yet
Overall, i still don't know which side to join, and what that event i talked about in the spoiler does not make my decision any easier.


lol anyway now the crucial decisions must be made.....

Got my platinum trophy for this yesterday, according to what iv read on other sites iv still got around 50 locations to find and around 100 quests i can still do. Think im going to start another character though, done the sneaky thievy one, any recommendations for mage sets?

Got to level 21 on one of my many characters.
But now my PS3 is hard crashing more than ever.
Can't play for more than 15 minutes without it freezing up.

Had 4 hard crashes total over 135 hour game, towards the end it was getting near unplayable after like an hour. it reminds me of when i use to do besieged when i played XI on Xbox for a while.

Yeah the game is unstable as hell since 1.2 for me. My locks are random as f tho after 5 min after 1-2 hours...

1.3 sounds like a true legitimate patch, fixing many ailments that spanned across all platforms. Until they can give the finishing touches and release it for PS3/360, we're kind of screwed with 1.2

im over 9mb now and i havent had too much issue, i had to reset once the other night, but resets for me are few and far between. also city lag can be random, sometimes its OMG1FPSFOREVER and sometimes it negligible

about the negotiation

Might sound stupid, but is anyone else's bookshelves totally broken?
I can't activate it to add more books to my shelves, and it absolutely refuses to let me read any of my books or pull them off the shelf.
There's some sort of invisible force field that prevents me from taking them out xD

i had some issues with them once, i was adding books to a bookshelf and wasnt counting, and i added more than it would hold, so when i exited out no books appeared and i couldnt access that shelf, then i was adding books to an unfinished bookshelf that i hadnt touched in a while, and a few books went missing

Patch 1.2 strikes again seems you get one use out of book shelves. I basically put everything in containers atm until they fix it.

Seems I can't be thieves guildmaster since that Bleep won't stop saying sorry lad he's to damn busy almost tossed my controller at my big screen. Skyrim is a mess of bugs sad to say....

Had a similar problem on my new playthrough...figured I'd keep up with notes/books from quests and constantly dump them onto shelves to keep less clutter (11 notes from a friend is fun trying to find which has the quest etc) and noticed after you half fill a shelf, its like a game of hide and go seek to find the activate book shelf target. Usually crouching + looking at the back left corner of the shelf will manage to target it. The one problem I just had with storage was the Staff of Magnus. Put that on any weapon rack or display and walk in and out of your house a couple dozen times. Not sure why but it "moves" backwards on the rack/display until it clips through the wall and falls through the void beyond, and is quite a fun game to recover if you let it fall too far.

oh, anyone else playing a non thieves guild char and try to do the boethiah's crown quest? it wont let me do it, whenever i try talking to the guy for it he says "go away, i have no business with you". so now i have like 11 gems stuck in my inv =/

lol I don't think you can do that quest without being in the guild lol they are the principle peeps in the quest you recover it for the guild lol.

Not to be a buzz kill on purpose but the thieves guild final parts are still bugged in 1.3 and so are the bookshelves. Well my bookshelves, after using it, all the books on the shelf disappear like it's empty and you can't use that shelf ever again. I haven't made a new character since 1.3 came out but my current character that I've had since 1.1 still has these bugs.

Another bug I've noticed is that when you go to put some weapons on a weapon rack, they won't sit in the little holder correctly and instead sit horizontally, protruding through the wall and thus proceeding to divide by 0.

These hard crashes are really starting to piss me off.
I notice they tend to occur upon encounters with enemies and when looking at my skill trees to add perks.

Anyone else noticing a correlation or pattern in crashes or am I just unlucky?

mine have always been in high activity areas, like lots of enemies all at once in a high detail area, its like the ps3 cant handle it.

Weird. Mine seem to happen when something comes into instance. Like looking at my perk trees, or pulling my weapon out, or turning around the corner to discover a baddie. Anything that has to be put forward seems to cause a crash for me randomly.

It's a hard, nasty crash too. One that freezes in place and forces me to unplug the power as the reset button just makes it go to black screen from which I cannot return.

i usually only have freezes that at most i have to hit the reset button, and at least i only have to hit the ps button and quit game from there.

what model ps3 do you have? i have a 120gig slim

I had a mega crash on 360, during a thieves guild quest.
Only time I've ever lagged or anything and it froze hard 3 minutes later.

on the ps3? pulling the plug can corrupt your HDD, had it happen to my first ps3, guy was like "if it freezes on you, hold down the standby button for 20-30 seconds until you get a double beep, then its off safely" funny thing is, i do that with skyrim crashes and i still get the "Your system wasnt turned off properly blah blah"

i have 320 gb.

i rarely ever get freezes or even bad lag also, usually its just light lag in cities unless im sprinting for long amounts of time (i have 300 stamina atm)

Different character now....thieves guild quest at Golden glow...
Sneak in?
Nah.
Walk in wearing legendary Dragon Scale Mail and fight all the mercs.

Almost all of Bethesda games have been cursed with this; they are buggy. It's not just because it's Skyrim, it's because of the poor choice of the developer. I have been cursed with a dragon that flies in a certain area stuck on trees and sides of mountains. I can't kill him, he cannot die, and he never despawns. Also, more often than not, when I dismount my horse on top of a mountain, for example, it shoots off miles away where I wont be able to get it back unless I fast travel elsewhere. As for freezing, if it happens, its usually during a boss fight or when a big spell is about to go off. Lag issues is when I'm in a congested area: I go from normal FPS to about five. and resetting to the Xbox desktop is the only thing that seems to fix it. And has anyone had this problem? When i go into the menu, sometimes the cursor will not work, I can't move it up or down or right or left. and I have to push the guide button to fix it.

As for armor sets.. I am greatly enjoying Light armor set (full nightingale) and weapon mace of molag bal and dawn breaker, been playing with alot of different sets. greatly enjoying that cannibal ring.
