ive always wondered about these people claiming they have had hundreds of glitches in bethesda games....
I could probably count on my fingers the amount of glitches ive encountered in bethesda games. Am I just that lucky? should I start buying lottery tickets?

I really don't get why. On the PC at least it works very fast and smooth; I got all my important spells bound to my number keys, got some potions and weapons in the Favorite menu and thanks to it's simple visual design I can look up everything in a split second.poiumty said:
My only issue is that the UI has some unfortunate bugs; I'd say around 5% of my mouse clicks register with the wrong dialogue option and sometimes the UI kicks me out of a shop menu for no apparent reason.
Other than that I couldn't imagine what's wrong with the UI.
As for other bugs, I had one desktop crash, a raven that was bugged into a tree and made really weird sounds and some some weird colours in the background while I was in the pause menu. Perfect? No. Gamebreaking and as bad as your average Bethesda game? Thank fuck not.
Yeah, you are. Fallout 3 and New Vegas especially...good gods...Fieldy409 said:
I reckon that's because of critical hits. It's true though that dungeon bosses are usually a lot more difficult than the mooks you fight getting there. I easily cleared some random dungeon of low level vampires, only to get my ass completely handed down to me by the Master Vampire. I'll take my revenge though, oh yes.Ruwrak said:
Playing the game with all the settings maxed out on my laptop at 40FPS and aside from some quests not updating, wonky A.I., and the infamous crash to desktop, the game is working great, and I love, so I play it, and love it!
Playing on PC, only crashed once about 10 hours in. The only glitch i've found is sometime if i stand to close to a table the items disappear for a few seconds. And it must be a console thing because i find nothing wrong with it.
Oh and i think the giant thing is one of those "Entertaining" glitches that Bethesda leaves inAethren said:

Bug wise, almost flawless. I've gotten stuck on two things.
One was in between two rocks when I was running away from a giant, and the other was getting stuck on a rock when I jumped down a waterfall.
The difficulty is weird. It definitely got much harder when I was playing today. I keep getting killed by an animation when I have half of my health left against bandits and other things, and random enemies are getting much tougher
Edit: I'm also seeing a lot of PC problems on this thread.
It's your computer, not the game.
EXACLTY the same. On my laptop on around medium, and I actually like the UI and it works well. A little harder to use than than Oblivion but I do like it. Glad to have someone thats having a similar experience.Aethren said:
Well, so far the game has actually been surprisingly good for me, only crashing at specific and somewhat understandable points (IE trying to quicksave while charging a spell) only other issues I've been having are minor and include rarely getting stuck at an altar of enchantment because the exit animation refuses to load for some reason, and strangely enough, if the steam in game crashes the current game crashes with it and I have to reload (not restart, esc still works fine, just need to reload.... this really confuses me). Other then that though the game has been excellent, and I find the difficulty curve is a really happy medium between the cake walk that was Oblivion, and the keyboard smashingly frustrating Morrowind.
The UI is terrible though, clearly was designed for the console and has numerous issues as a result... Most jarring for me is that if I click slightly off a selection during barter, the menu closes and I have to start the process all over again, not to mention it will occasionally refuse to read my cursor and force me to make selections with WS... I cannot wait until this gets modded out, Oblivions UI wasn't perfect, but it was better than... this...

Cool story bro, but what you are experiencing there is blind fanboyism.
I love the game but it doesn't prevent me to see the big gaping holes of production quality, the UI is probably the worst I have ever seen and I have been playing games from the 1990s.

well for me i've just seen a few broken textures on rocks and bits of sea missing. the only real glitch i've seen is the Giant Space Program. its fun, but its a one-way trip.80Maxwell08 said:
I have only one major glitch so far. I was in the plains fighting two mammoths and a giant, and had whittled two of these guys down to low health, when all of a sudden they vanished. Just straight-up disappeared. I was in the middle of the plain, not near any discernible borders, and then, *poof.* Gone.
Still, for a Betheseda game, this is quite good. I'm loving this game so far, though I worry about a lack of perks possibly dumbing my game down. They don't even have tons of cool stuff like in Fallout, but meh.

I've had that exact glitch, in that exact location... weird...DarkPennant said:
Also, the game has crashed for me once, but other then those, not many bugs to report.
My graphics card loves to overheat (despite 4 80-120mm fans), so I've had over 10 CTDs. Only one has made me scratch my head. I've also dumped nearly 40 hours into this...
However, I've noticed that whoever made the changes to the rendering in the Gamebryo engine needs a fucking award or something. Other games would normally crash over a thousand times by now... yet Skyrim seems to be this massive code juggernaut that refuses to go down (until you're basically melting the computer). Almost all CTDs are card-related (namely, the driver will crash elegantly and make Skyrim throw a fit, though 80% of the time Skyrim comes back like a champ).
It crashed when I was managing inventory at one point though (and it was running cool then), so that made me worried, but Skyrim has performed quite nicely thus far. It even knows when it's rendering things incorrectly and will attempt to fix it quite elegantly.
The game itself has bugged out on occassion. The first dragon you defeat seems to have its skeleton reset in front of Whiterun whenever I enter the cell. I've also had a few floating weapons and of course, a floating mammoth.
The only point where the game design fails is if I set a Frost Rune on the ground, summon a creature, and have it run over the frost rune with a friendly NPC nearby. I'll earn a bounty even though it is clearly not my fault (companion AI is helpful at times and really stupid at other times).
Oh, and +1 to "the writing is awesome."

The UI isn't really that great, it's just not as bad as people say it is. Sure, sometimes the mouse cursor will stop working properly, menus will deselect for no reason and it takes a bit longer to access all the information you need, but these problems aren't so bad that they're gamebreaking, just minor annoyances. I even actually like the map system and skill tree menus.
What's more, I have only had a few crashes in about 21 hours of game time, and only 1 of them was a hard crash. It's a bit pathetic that bethesda are so bad at this that having only had a few crashes in less than a days play time could ever be a good thing, but it's an improvement at least. Certainly better than what I had to go through with Fallout 3...

No glitches at all?
Really? My copy is full of them. None enough to ruin or annoy me that much, but they are there. Like being punched by a gaint so hard I flew halfway accross the map. That is not an exaggeration. Its gitchy as hell, but hey, its fun!
