Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
Yeah, I wonder if most of the PC problems are due to older operating systems. I have Windows 7 and it runs perfectly. I havn't even run into many game glitches like the flying backwards dragons at all.
There is the issue with certain pieces of headgear not staying with the heads I cut off, like full face Guard Helmets and Cicero's jester cap.
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
My Windows XP 32 bit system runs perfectly fine after they patched up the only problem I had.
It can run a bit slowly at times but I blame that on my computer being close to six or seven years old by now.
Like running a PS3 game on a PS2, heh.

Verifying the game cache seemed to fix the issue, and I spent the last few hours grinding soul gems. All i've got left to do is get Alchemy to 100 from 65; the 5 levels of training should take me to Level 45, so I can get another 5 directly after and then have to get 25 more levels from somewhere...

I had some weird lagg problems with my assassin the higher level she got. Im not sure why, Im assuming its the size of the saves maybe? I thought it was due to the PS3 getting hot after playing awhile, but it wasnt that, Id check the PS3 and it was completely cool to the touch, and it would lagg right as I started the game a few times, from my playstation sitting all night.
My new character is at lvl20 now (my assassin was like 37) and so far no laggy problems. Any other console gamers have a similar experience?

I had that on my xbxo, restarted the box, and it was fine again.
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons."
Yes, apparently the PS3 version has some problems. Don't want to start a console war but it's become a whole big controversial thing now.
I usually prefer PS3 games, but this is one I wish I would have bought on the 360, (PC if I had a decent set up).
I have ran into a ton of problems:
Books on bookshelf disappear if I put too many on the shelf at one time.
Armour disappears if I put it on a manaquin.
I can wear a Dragon Mask and a Falmer Helmet at the same time.
Bard Instruments stay in my inventory even after I have completed the quest.
Saves get corrupted over 12 MB rather easily which cause the game to freeze and forces me to do a hard restart of the system. Fixed by turning off all autosaves except the travel autosave and deleting corrupted data when it appears.
Vendors will often not sell me stuff unless I talk to them 2-3 times. (The option just doesn't appear for some reason)
Clean up the Murderer's mess has disappeared from the decorations for my home option. The mess is still there.
Sometimes the option to open a door doesn't appear where it should. I have to jump up and activate the option towards the top of really large doors.
Ulfric will not give me the quest after liberating the reach.
The quest to liberate the reach was very glitchy. The stormcloaks that were supposed to help me take over a fort never appeared and the people inside of the fort were not there either. The only way to liberate the reach was to walk into Markath and fight the Jarl, House Carl, and Steward. The reach has been liberated but the story line for the civil war will not progress any further.
The investigate the Bard's College quest will not complete. I have got all the instruments and the main guy still has the arrow over his head. Will not complete, (oh and he goes to bed with a torch).
The Night Mother will not let me warm her bones anymore.
Some of those I have run into on PC as well. For some reason, each play through offers me new glitches.. In the same playthrough, the house in Windhelm wouldn't clean up the blood, even though I payed for it. The house in Whiterun, the bed didn't upgrade, even though I payed for it (and thus I couldn't get the sleeping bonus)
Until recently, regardless of save files or anything, the game would randomly crash when exiting a load screen (at the most inopportune times mind you), but this has apparently been fixed with subsequent playthroughs.
Hjerim (the house in Windhelm) is currently bugged on all platforms. To get rid of the blood and bones, you have to purchase "Clean up that murder's mess" BEFORE you purchase the living room upgrade. And, if you don't exit dialog between purchasing "Clean up that murder's mess" and purchasing other upgrades, it can sometimes bug out.

Yea I ran into that problem, you just have to buy that "upgrade" before all the others. Its still glitched for me that the Jarl of Riften still wont even talk to me so I cant become thane of the Rift.

The Thing thats bugging me is being currently unable to complete quests
- first Thieves Guild Mission: Killed the wood elf and searched his body which was 3/5 in the the floor and no Key for safe. Then went to safe broke it open took all the money inside but the quest still says i have to clear it out.
- Second Stormcloak Mission: Killed the Draugr Deathlord (?) but the Jagged Crown wasn't in his inventory
- Escape Chidia Mine: quite evidently completed it since i am out of it.
Currently debating whether to study for my exams or paint some Deathwing
with the first thieves guild quest, is it the one withs the beehives? If so you need to burn them to complete the quest.

^You'll get noticed either way, after all 3 of 5 beehives on fire is a bit noticeable. Quite annoying when your a thief who relies on the 15x dagger damage perk.

I just sprayed flames over 3 of them, jumped into the lake and swam to the shore.

Same. That location is near impossible to sneak into, no matter how good your thief is or how many times you try. On the other hand, it is pretty easy to just run in, light up 3 of the hives, then run out.

I have also had several quests become broken. Among them the main quest (the ratway part).
For the Thief quest though, you need to steal the deed from the safe, not the money (although you can obviously steal the money as well).
Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.

Same here
But yea Ive noticed some rather annoying bugs as well. My (and my brother's as well) manaquins will also go invisible when I put items on them,the weapons racks, I cant activate (the ones that hold swords?) so I spent all that cash on the house with the murder scene in it (well the interior anyways ) and I cant even use it. Another annoying thing, is Im one of those guys that like to clear shelves and put my own, cool stuff from around the world on them. If I put to much gak on them and leave, when I come back it looks like the shelves had vomited all the items out onto the floor. So now Im still experimenting with how much is too much. Worst part is, I didnt have THAt much stuff on them either. Literally, the most was I had 2 ancient nord helms on top, a witches head, and maybe 5 random ingredients on the middle shelf and on the bottom I had a mammoth tusk, and 4ish random animal claws. So really not that much, and KAPLOW!!!!! all over the place
Hjeirm is unfortunately very bugged, which is a shame because it's the perfect place to display my gear. Solitude's house doesn't have the facilities above ground anywhere, and Markarth's house isn't as well laid out.
I just prefer Hjeirm's layout of display facilities, the fact that you would be walking through a hall of armour and weaponry into the bedroom, where there's a rack above the bed and two more dagger cases next to the door.
But until it's fixed, i'm going to have to make-do with Markarth's place.

I took care of the estate first (got the documents, etc...) and then snuck out and had no issue getting to the beehives. Granted this was not the same on my Fighter who's idea of sneaking involves using black colored heavy armor

I tried changing the clothing on my character's spouse. Unfortunately the whole clothing thing is also bugged, you can use console commands to equip clothing to them but they'll switch back to their default clothing as soon as you leave or no longer have them as a follower(similar to how I gave Lydia better armor but she always takes it off whenever I don't have her as a follower). So whenever you leave they revert back to their default clothing, I decided to fix this by equipping the clothes I wanted to giver her and then pickpocket her rags off of her. Unfortunately she's as stubborn as a mule so instead of wearing the nice, fancy clothes I decided to giver her she decides to run around in her undies. I just wanted her to look rich, my character owns every single house in the game but she wears her stupid mining shirt or nothing at all. Its so infuriating, is it too demanding that your spouse dresses for their social class?
Not to mention, I married some chick that is a shop keeper apparently, mainly because I thought she looked the best of all the possible wives, and I CANT change her clothing, no option to do that. Kindda annoyed by that, because I had some really nicely crafted Felsworn armor for her
And I too just said screw it and live in Markarth. Its a pretty decent house, but I prefer the murder scene one, again do to its layout. Is there ANY chance they will patch this gak or what?! How long does a game need to be out and have more bugs then a bee hive, to get fixed?

Pfft! My wife should be running around my house in her under clothes, but it will not let me. Stupid game.
Wow. I laughed so hard playing Skyrim. Was in a cave killing off necros and skellies, came up to a large chamber. There were 2 necros and as soon as they saw me, the raised... 2 goats! I was shocked and just stopped playing as the 2 goats charged me. After I regained my composure, I Un-Forced and watched them all fly.
Ah, Skyrim. You can still surprise me.
