Question 1/. - What bug exists for Goldenglow Estate ? I've done that quest several times on different characters without any issues on Xbox 360.

Question 2/. - Stuck Levelling Up Blacksmithing ? Never had a problem with the blacksmithing. I have 2 characters that have reached 100 in Smithing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disputing the bugs or issues, I'm just curious...

The list isn't going to be a list of problems EVERYONE will run into. It's a list for if anyone does run into these problems.

For the Bards College, I found all three instruments before I joined, while locating the Stones of Barenziah, and now I can't turn in Pantea's flute to her. The other two worked just fine, her's is the only one that won't work.

New bugs/problems need to be addressed by making a new thread about it, not by posting them in the master list.

A. Ginger Dragons! :D Sometimes a dragon will not burn away to a skeleton and give you its soul. The popular joke on forums is that it must have been a Ginger dragon since Gingers have no soul :p . This has been verified by multiple players and it seems to be particular to respawned dragons.

B. Display of skill going down and in red. o_O This is purely a notation error. Your skill is actually the same as it was before but it displays as significantly lower and in red as if diseased or under a negative effect. In my case it showed up in One Handed skill and was down by 71 points. The display self corrects upon gaining an additional point in the skill but it's kind of annoying. :confused:

I've encountered a problem with the second startup screen in Skyrim. This is the screen which asks if you want to load, continue, or start a new game etc. The new game function works just fine, but the continue and load options won't work. It simply goes to the loading screen where it shows a picture and a trivia bit about the game. And then it shows another trivia bit. And then another. It just cycles through this until it runs out of stuff to say. I've left it alone for hours, and when I get back, the picture is still just sitting there without any text. Obviously, this makes me mad. I've played the game through three times now, never being able to do much of a dent because of this bug. Does anyone have the fix?

This is the wrong thread to post in. You should start your own thread if you want people to help you with a bug, not a thread for a a master list of bugs which has been abandoned by the OP. When you repost this in your own thread please include your game platform. If you are using a PC with a Steam Account I can probably provide a solution.

It's not entirely abandoned. I just don't want people posting problems in this thread. I still update the list every now and then when there are new issues that are among the majority. Also, no one is giving me a heads up on anything new as well.

what about your characters/NPC hands turning a rainbow/black /green glowing color?
My entire screen does that, actually. It's a graphics issue, like the flickering screen/maps/books, i think, but there's no fix for it yet as far as I know, but it gets less if you lower your graphics settings.

In clearing out Yngol Barrow, in the last chamber, the button to open the exit doesnt work, and there's a chest on the other side. Alternative, I guess, is to find the other exit if you want the loot. That, and there's only one draugr to fight in that place, dunno if that was intentional, though...

In repairing the Phial, if you're carrying a Briar Heart when you accept the quest from Quintus Navale, you can no longer pick up the specific Briar Heart needed for the quest, thus the quest won't complete. So I had to load to before I talked to Quintus, and drop my Briar Hearts. Tried using the console commands to skip ahead in the quest, but it didn't work for me.

Has anyone else had trouble with the Abandoned house quest in markarth? after I speak to the daedric prince under the house, I get trapped in the dam thing due to the front door suddenly needing a key to open.

I can not get into Fellglow Keep, I have tried both entrances several times. Each time I try to enter It gets to the loading screen, and the whole xbox gets stuck. I can't complete the "Hitting the Books" quest now. I read another post of a man having the same problem on his PS3.

Sarasosio: I struggled with this a lot. I seem able to fix it by restarting the PC , running skyrim launcher and resetting graphics options to the recommended setting. Obviously this will undo any stuff you've added to the .ini files.

David, are you sure? every time i thought i was stuck there was an exit I had overlooked. Try using a light source if it's dark.

Try alt-control-delete, then cancel. Works for me!

I haven't had this issue since i tweakes my ini files , i recently found this:

[Papyrus]
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=3000000000

Which is in the Skyrim.ini file, worth trying.

Please people, don't post new problems in this thread. Make a new thread so that it can be handled in a timely fashion. Also, if you post it in a new thread and it's a common problem or a big problem then I can post the link here on this thread.
 
trying to start this quest, but every time I enter the cave the screen locks, has this happened to anyone else, if so is there a fix, I'm on Xbox 360:mad:..............Sorry I posted this on the help already but, gotta try here before I give up, I really dont want to start completely over, but I cant finish the companions, has this happened to anyone, I've loaded the game on hard drive, had a follower and thought that might have something to do with it so I left her, looked for another entrance, ran to the cave instead of fast travel, slept outsise the cave for 24 hrs, I dont know, I love this game, but this is about to break me:mad:
