Things like eggs are rolling around on the floor when i enter an inn or house. Alvor always pushes his plate and it's content to the floor in the beginning of a new game, when he sits down in his house. Do you experience that aswell? That food and things are lying around on the floor and npcs pushing, say, kettles around when walking?

I've checked FPS and it stays 60 or below.

I don't know if this is "normal" for Skyrim or just in my game...

Sounds like something is wrong with your save - objects usually don't move without being touched, Fus doh rah'd or dragged in some way. Definitely not "Normal" as you put it.

Unless you knocked a basket of eggs on entry!?

You on PC? Installed any dodgy mods that may have tampered with the games files? If your not far in the game doing a restart & test could prove useful.

Indeed. Also, walking into Dragonsreach, you can usually see a silver platter flying across the room.

What that is is the developers put things too close/touching on the table. When you move around the house, you find that things have a sort of aura around them, by which I mean if you get a certain distance away, they start to move as though touched. Skyrim's engine uses something called havoc, which helps things fall, roll, etc., like in the real world. Unfortunately, when things are pushed too close together on a table, or piled on a plate, for example, they look great in creation kit. As soon as the game loads, though, boom! They burst away from each other like reversed magnets. The same thing happens when they put something too close to the edge of a table, or put the chair too close to the table. Sit down, and boom!

The way to fix this, if you were doing a mod, would be to go into creation kit and disable havoc for those particular items, as well as pulling the chair out a little. If you're not into modding, or are on a console, you're unfortunately stuck with them.

Thanks for the respons. Well, i guess developers thought: "This is making the game more realistic...", but i can go for weeks without knocking over objects og send kettles flying through the room i the real world.


Im no modder, so i guess i will have to live with this....

I found something odd. I'm on 360 Legendary Edition with all DLC installed, and my char bought Honeyside and completely furnished it, choosing the enchanting lab over the children's room (no kids for this char haha). Well, I'd just come down to disenchant some minor gear when I about crapped myself. At first glance, it seemed that there were two dudes standing around my enchanting table. Then I realized that the two armor dummies had somehow changed position and were both next to the table, with their backs to me. Freaky, eh?

Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

^ Haha! Nearly the same thing happened to me, only I didn't notice until I finished at the table. I was just standing upright and out the corner of my screen I saw a face. Just about had a panic attack. Like, I thought you were supposed to feel calm and collected while at home in Honeyside... Some crazy poltergeist phenonenenmenon going on in those mannequins...

Whenever I have bought Honeyside, I have had those mannequins moving about the place. And yeah they always scare the crap out of me to.

It was one of the infrequent times I've exclaimed from being startled while playing Skyrim Hahaha. It was followed by about five minutes of laughter, during which my orc was running straight into a wall. Love this game, man. Love this game.

I'm glad that never happened to me... Moving mannequins... After watching this video, I felt like I was playing more of a horror game..


After it was done, I was laughing like a sadistic maniac. Clapping my hands and saying, "Well done". Because it was... Well done. Good tribute to all things creepy in the mannequin world.

And yes, about the flying plates. Had that happen so many times. Along with characters appearing out of thin air above me (Adrianna at the forge in Whiterun is a good example) and dropping to the ground to their deaths. For no freaking reason.

Every time I enter a building I'm almost automatically saying aloud,

"OW!"

Because almost every time a plate goes smacking into my character's head along with a few cabbages slamming into their gut when I walk in. Always.

Died from flying plates and cabbages to the head
(and a possible wonky cart lying around)

EDIT: You know what's funny about 'Honeyside'? If anyone has seen Toy Story 3 they'll get the connection...

COINCIDENCE?! I THINK NOT!!​

How do you backstab a Dragon?
Anytime I have mannequins they tend to wander. Honeyside doesn't bother me nearly as much as Severin Manor. At least at Honeyside, Proudspire or any of the Hearthfire homes they aren't right in your bedroom.

The first time I slept at Severin and woke up to the mannequins standing around the bed, I thought I was in some really bad '70's horror movie and nearly jumped out of my skin!

Same thing happens to my mannequins in Severin Manor on Solstheim. My heart rate jumped the first couple of times! :)
You can always tell a good game, if it actually jolts you and raises the hair on your neck at times. I've actually felt shivers run down my spine, my first couple of times through draugr crypts.

I'm helping. Mostly.
My friend and I have witnessed strange effects related to V-Sync and frames per seconds. With V-Sync deactivated, the world's physics will be impacted depending of the amount of FPS you have that is above 60.

With more than 100 FPS I went to Belethor's and it literally felt like Molag Bal haunted the shop. The objects killed him on the spot. Nazeem was randomly killed by a flying piece of beef. I dragged Mirmulnir near Whiterun and some sort of basket took care of the remaining health it had.

The engine has very strange relations depending of the frames per second.

Love the random mammoths falling from the sky and dropping to their deaths, sometimes on Fast Travel guards spawn with me, then stroll off - like WTF?

Especially Riverwood, I think if I Fast Travel there, then to Whiterun, about 20 Riverwood Guards spawn with me then realize they are a LOOOOOOONG way from home! :D
