I have had to reload Skyrim 5 times in an hour now due to glitches

The glitches and problems really seems to get worse the farther you get in to this game. I'm about 50 hours in now and it has become 100 times worse than in the beginning of the game where the glitches were small and not really affecting the game for me.

First off I decided to cleanse my wolf spirit since I gre tired of being a werewolf, cleansed it with the witches head and all that, killed my wolf spirit BUT the game still counts me as a werewolf after I've done this... had to go back to a save well over an hour back.

Next I got a quest to fetch an elven hammer that wasn't there... reload

Took the same quest again, this time the enemies in the area glitched out... they became all transparent and I couldn't hit them but they could hit me

Reloaded again and thought "to hell with it, I'll do something else" went to the skyforge to Eorlund to pay him to train me in smithing... Eorlund wasn't there.

After searching all over the place and speaking to his wife it seems that he is dead... He has just died... Googled it to see if there's like a world event for that to happen but found nothing.... so AGAIN I have to reload to a previous save.

Decided to clear out a Dwarven ruin with Aela now... all went fine until I came to a passage that required me to swim only to find out that Aela now have engaged an npc in an under water "staring fight" where none o them lose health... so she's basically stuck there with me not being able to use her again or access the loot I've given her along with some kickass gear and enchantments.

All I can say right now is ******* you Bethesda, I am severely pissed off

wow.. thanks for sharing this information as u set in stone my decision NOT to buy this game as i was considering, yea i heard oblivion was guilty of the same kinda glitch bs... come to think of it, this is becoming a real problem with these elder scroll games, they really need to look into fixing these problems..

Yeah I had absolutely no problems with it the first 10-20 hours. Now that I'm further into the game and have a significant amount of things discovered/unlocked the game runs like crap. There are some frame rate issues, lag input, and I can't navigate the menu without waiting for a minute or two of the menu popping up. "Well I need to equip a different sword, better go make a sandwich while I wait"

Are all versions like this or just the PS3? as far as anyone knows?

No problems here. It doesn't seem to be everyone.

Haha just the other day I defended the game as running fine, especially by Bethesda's standards. I put a significant amount of time into it the past couple days and the issues are getting noticeably worse.

I'm actually putting the game on pause. I enjoy it a lot but I'm going to wait for that patch Bethesda is talking about before moving on. Might as well play Assassin's Creed :P

Interesting if slightly poorly written editorial on the subject.

Hmm, it only froze on me once, and this was earlier in the game, and I'm roughly 70 hours in. Turn off auto-save, and manually save the game often. It's worked for me so far.

will NEVER buy glitch scrolls 4 skyrim. :evil: game designers these days are starting to act like they enjoy purposely pissing us off.. its all about money, long as we pay up they could care less how broken the game is upon release..

Sucks to be anyone who bought Skyrim on the PS3. Sure the content and gameplay might be great, but what does it matter if the game is a technical disaster? That's what Skyrim is.

Worst part is I don't even know if this is patchable.

Glad you're enjoying it, but to me the problems are clear enough. I think this video shows just how bad it can get. Sorry I can't link, Gamespot still is broken.

From the looks of things, Bethesda isn't gonna leave the PS3 version hangin.

I've had very few problems with Skyrim so far, it froze on me once, and the occasional framerate drops, but it's been good to me *knocks on wood*

I think people are blowing it out of proportion, tbh.

*GS isn't letting me link....again.* :(

Glitches are part of the game mechanics of Bethesda titles. Everybody knows that.

I agree, except that in this case it has been taken to a whole new level.

I am curious about whether the majority of people here are using fat PS3s or slims? but on another note, to help with minimizing any glitches, make sure you turn off Autosave and have alot of harddisk space available. Bethesda games seem to generally work better doing that. Also, take a break every two hours or so if it's getting bad, turn off the machine and let the cache empty out. Memory limitations are usually an issue.

I've only had like 2 little glitches. Game has been almost perfect for me so far. Sorry to hear about it.

No problems here. It doesn't seem to be everyone.

I'd just like to say that I know how frustrating glitches and bugs can be (have been through tons over 24 years of gaming) but anything new is going to have problems if you are pushing the boundaries of what a product is capable of. This is true for almost any product....look at BMW, for example. When they revamped their 7 series cars in the 90s, their was a catastrophic "glitch" which caused your gas tank to explode if you were hit hard from behind. The concept of products having defects or problems is not game-industry specific, but includes all consumer products that are changing or new. And of course, if you are unhappy with a product, you can enforce your right as a consumer to complain to a company and/or not purchase their products. Which, come to think of it, would be more constructive than just complaining to others.

Very glad I decided to wait until all the patches were issued before buying this. And how many reviewers gave this thing a perfect 10? I think they should be issuing apologies and retractions right about now.

my brand new copy is on the shelf.i have started a char only.i'm waiting it to be patched

a game glitched like that can kill a console, I player DC universe since the beta, it froze more than 50 times (had to pres the power button then get the 3 beeps, some times had to use the back switch - 60Gb PS3), add to that the console just restarting at random times, falling forever, no sound or hiccup sound ...

About 80 hours in, had some crazy slowdown and some freezes while fast travelling, but other than that it's been decent.

Maybe I'm a fan boy, or maybe I'm lucky but it hasn't been all that bad.

well when they finally patch it, IF they patch it.. the game will be a blast to play, but intill then its just a broken mess..
