When entering Windhelm: Sidra The Unseen: "I hope the wind die-" (Sidra vanishes into thin air, never to return, apparently spirited away by the insulted wind)

Also, I once got a bandit in a cage to go hostile, walked a while away and used the Wait option. He responded by teleporting out of the locked cage and appearing beside me as I waited, then unceremoniously stabbing me in the face once I stopped. The cage was still locked and everything.

im not sure if its a glitch or not but i got a black soul gem from a geode vein in blackreach

UPDATE: got around 4 more black soul gems from different Geode Veins in one area ((towards the begining entering near sinderions field research lab and against the wall))

However the Geode Veins closer to Tower Mzark and that Underground city with the fake sun disco ball thing the Geode Veins were giving Corodonum ore.

Well, today I woke up to find all of my apparel (note, NOTHING besides my apparel) gone, except for my Dwarven, which is worthless, since as a battlemage, I mainly wear robes. I reloaded a save from 20 minutes, so all is good in sexy-town.

I was in Cidhna Mine. And out of nowhere: Esbern. What the hell are you doing here?


And I think a guy from Ivarstead somehow teleported to Riften.

Strange. There's something up with Skyrim's scripting .

Argonanza, if you did the mara questline from riften then two people from Ivarstead maybe(depending on what you did during the quest) move permanently from Ivarstead to Riften.

Once, during a dragon fight the dragon got distracted by a hawk and chased it around until both the hawk and dragon were so far away that i couldn't see them and combat stopped. I couldn't stop laughing as I remembered part of Tobuscus's literal version of the Skyrim trailer "confused dragon trying to mate with some birds".
I never saw that dragon again.

The dragons, the thalmor, the civil war - all ruses to distract from the real threat posed in Skyrim...


...the gradual but inexorable advance of the Louis Letrushes!

Yesterday I killed 2 wolves and one died in a "attacking position".

It was weird. He was there, like stopped in time...

I saw a noble and his mount float off over the horizon. That was the "What the...?" moment. however, not much later down the road I found the Imperial bodyguard staring at the sky with a look of grief.

I started an Argonian character almost immediately after called Stares-At-Skies.

Today I was travelling in the wilderness when I came across a farmer and his wife fleeing a dragon attack. I gave them five gold and wondered why they were running as if in combat.

Then I died without warning as a surprisingly stealthy giant cracked my skull with his club.

For some reason instead of reloading the screen just continued to flash red and focus in on my well-dressed corpse, and after about three minutes the farmer's wife ran up to it and said "Thank you for your kindness."

Thank you for your warning about the giant, you worthless milk-drinker!

Spectral headless horseman.

I think these two are the funniest glitches that have happened to me, but they were really frustrating...
1. In Jorrvaskr, in had the sensitivity on highest and I was spinning around (bored), next to a door, that was next to a bench. I kept pressing the action button, and I hit both the 'sit' option for the bench, and the 'open' option for the door. I saw my character begin to sit down, and the loading screen started. The first thing I noticed was the quick loading time, (just smoke at the bottom), as it's usually a long one with a rotatable item. Suddenly, after the loading screen had finished, I was spawned mid-air, around 200ft in the sky, and after about 10 seconds I hit the floor I died. The weirdest thing is that I was spawned outside the map, the floor wasn't even fully loaded, it was all blurry...
2. I was doing the second mission for the Companion, and I was told Skjor wanted to speak to me. My quest marker was out of Jorrvaskr, my first thought was 'The old dude is probably chillin' in the garden, out back. I went out and looked at my map, and the quest marker was right next to the giant's camp west of Whiterun... What was the old man doing over there!? I'd thought he'd been battered by the giants or something, or maybe launched into the atmosphere by them . So I fast travelled to the giants camp, and I stood right next to the quest marker, nothing. What was happening? My quest marker was now pointing me to Whiterun, so I fast travelled there, then it was pointing me towards the giant's camp? Then I noticed the quest marker didn't have the door under it, while I was in Whiterun, so Skjor was in the same area as me!? I was playing on console at the time, so I knew I had to get out of the map. I jumped on a barrel near the main gate, and began sprinting towards the marker... After 5 minutes of ditch-climbing, out of the map, I saw a person in the distance. It was Skjor! I ran up to him and he said 'I've been looking for you.' At this point, I felt like slapping the old man. He was just standing there, mysteriously, floating above the ground. I spoke to him and it started the quest. bear in mind, this took me 45 minutes, of raging trying to find the old man. Spoilers** Then only to find the next quest he was dead! With the chick Aela staring at his body, at this point I just ate him (as a werewolf)
So yeah... WEIRD.

Just last night, the weirdest thing happened to me.

I walked out of Proudspire Manor in Solitude, and... died. There was no city, just a big green field with low-res textures. As if all the houses, people, and other decor had just vanished. And I had fallen and died.

But then the screen went blank, and I got back up with zero hit points. I could not heal myself. I walked on this infinite green plain, but looked up and saw Solitude above me.

Sadly instead of experimenting I turned off Skyrim and loaded an old save, and all was well.

I was doing the Companions quest today where you have to wipe out the Glenmoril witches and bring back their severed heads. I killed the first one and claimed her head, then looted a nearby chest.

When I turned back around her headless corpse was standing straight up with its arms spread out to either side.

Needless to say I was not expecting that.

I don't know if it's a glitch,but i always see a Sabre Cat or a Mammoth flying across Skyrim.I think it's the result of a giant attacking them.Also, has happened to anyone?I was disappointed because you can't pick it up

the wierdest thing that has happened to me is everyone in whiterun sinking into to the ground and only their heads poking out of the ground so it was a city of just heads sliding along on the ground

After completing Imperial legion quests, and killing Ulfrick and his bodyguard in palace in Windhelm, their bodies didn't dissapear. I returned after 10 in game days, the city was reconstructed, new jarl of Windhelm sitting on the trone, and Ulfric dead (and naked, becouse i took his armour) lying in his lap! The bodyguard was lying near his feet (decapitated).

After 20 in-game days, i decide to end this bizare scene, and move their bodies in the corner of the room. Bodies moved ok, the head was REALLY heavy, but the funny thing is that while i was struggling to move the head to the corner, new jarl said to me: 'don't touch that!'

Add to this 2 dragons (not dragon skeletons) that i previously killed in Windhelm, their both bodies fall on me each time i enter the city, and land near the gate.

Not to mention Hjerim, skulls and corpses... Death is a strange thing in Windhelm.


People that see their houes in a mess, perhaps should not shout Unrelenting force in their sleep.

My dragon skeletons disappear all the time. While I look at them.

Also, I've had Camilla Valerius stuck in top of the counter in the Riverwood Trader for 2 weeks in-game now.

I dont know if this is a glitch, but dragon skeletons have no collision. Can somebody tell me if this a glitch?
