I keep hearing about the companions, i have had several small glitches in the game like where i saw a goat underwater, but there is one major one with a companion quest, its the rescue mission quest where you rescue a guy from a dungeon, and i cleared the dungeon and it says talk to the guy, but where the arrow is pointing there is noone there, i pressed the talk button where the arrow is pointing, looked for a switch, everything, dosent work, so i moved on with the game and there is no way i am going back to load a previous save(which i tried) because i am to far removed from that quest.
That felt good i had to vent.
Dragon soul absorption tend to be a common enough glitch for me. If its just a single dragon I encounter, thats fine I absorb the soul. But when its two or three dragons at once then one of the dragons does not give his soul. And its not neccesarily to do with the dragon type either, if im fighting two ancients and a frost dragon, it can be any of them that won't absorb, I've come across alot of variation, level 62 character atm.
Then about 2 mins or so after this happens the game shutdowns to the desktop. Ever. single. time. Im actually at the stage where I've harvested so many souls so I just completely abandon a good dragon fight in case the glitch occurs. Im dreading continuing the main storyline, I left it once I obtained the 3rd word of unrelenting force. A quicksave is fine when exploring or completing small time quests, to overcome this problem, but I hate it when it breaks a dialogue or clip, that ruins the game for me.
------- SPOILER
During the Haunted house mission after speaking to Molag Bal the door the the outside never unlocked... and it required a key... so i was trapped. Molag never spoke again to say i could leave so after 30 minutes of constant waiting i abandoned hopes and reverted to older save.
I read somewhere on here that that happen to them when they got out of jail. There was some sort of "Restore" potion. Sorry dude, can't remember. At the time it didn't make sense to me and it still doesn't, but he was able to get his lvl back. He may have been playing on PC. Those guys have Talos working for them and can put in codes in some certain situations.
Had one SPOILER well not really because it was just a little side quest for an Argonian. Asked me to put a lighthouse out so a ship runs ashore. I did but then went to a Cavern nearby and killed a load of guys. Then when I went to meet the Argonian and then his Sister I think it was she tried to kill me. But then the note on her said to go to the Cavern I had just been to. When I got there no one was there. It took a bit of back and 'forthing' but eventually the game got up to speed and it said I had completed the mission.
Also an much more annoyingly my follower has disappeared and I can't get another! One particular mission. Keep going back and doing it again but the same thing always happens! This better be patched on Wednesday but it is not on the list!
I need someones help. I started a quest with farkas of the companions he asked if I would kill a dragon with him. We went to eldersblood peak but the dragon just glitches and you can't kill it. I have tried fast traveling away and then back and i have returned 10 different times reloading and all but it still glitches. Now I am stuck with farkas because i haven't completed the quest so i can't take any other quests with followers and farkas is worthless he can't be asked to help carry anything. this is the xbox version of the game ANY suggestions or help I can't go to a previous save because all manual and auto saves occured after this quest was started
