Hi guys, first off i love Skyrim, not played it in a long time so decided to get it out and see what the lil sis makes of it. After falling of a cliff and dying, it did not go to a loading screen, just stayed above my corpse, she also could not load the save?

That's weird indeed, have you tried loading an earlier save? Like one from yesterday or so?

Or another thing, this is gonna sounds stupid but: Have you tried turning it off and on again? Maybe if you close Skyrim all together, and try to reload the last save it'll work.

I had a bug on my 360, and I would turn it off and on, and most cases it helped.

I have the constant bug that, when I either fall off of or jump off of very high cliffs, my game will freeze. While kind of cool the first or second time to be floating high above the landscape, it has become really irritating. Of course it does lead me to be much more careful around cliffs though... A good thing, no?

What platform are you playing on? Also, did you jump off the same cliff at the same place? You could be hitting a bad patch of code, if so. I hit one once around Falkreath--finally went up the mountain and around it to avoid it. WHY are you jumping off cliffs, anyway? This does sound like a game freeze, at which point you hard-kill the console or PC and restart the game. Then you wouldn't go to "load", you'd just go to "continue". That will take you back to your last save. If your last save is corrupted, then go to load and go back a save or two and load that.

Ps3 and it's every cliff. Note that it must be a cliff that would normally kill me and it only happens below level 20. It's pretty funny unless I'm using ethereal, then it's a pain. Now I just wait until I'm over 20 before I even get in that situation.[emoji12]

Lmao@ jumping off cliffs, Maybe he wanted to skydive off a cliff, I get that itch sometimes, just sick of my Orc when he doesn't act the way I command him.

So I just grab a Horse and sprint off the peak of High Hrothgar and watch the Horse moan in agony, and then my Orc rolls down the hill for a bit after going "UGH!" before the loading screen cuts the humour short (Damn it all!)

@Joshua Bedford - Sounds strange though - A greyed out Load option, or being unable to access load at all suggests that your characters aren't even saving, maybe your console Harddrive isn't in correctly? Try enabling and seeing if Autosave works aswell.

Maybe a Corrupt Save, or even a Corrupt Gamer Profile? Tinker about a bit!

BTW I don't usually jump off cliffs unless using ethereal and trying to escape. That being said, I've been knocked off cliffs by everything from followers and goats to butterflies. I really should make my characters a bit less delicate.[emoji2]

Harkin may be on to something with a corrupt gamer profile. This is external to your game, in your PS3. I had one once on Xbox and all kinds of weird stuff was happening with my game, which no one had any answers for. Finally I created a new gaming profile, and viola, everything was fixed. Also, if you have DLCs downloaded, they can go corrupt, so if you download those again (overwrite) that can fix these kinds of issues.
