Bethesda games are notorious for being littered with bugs and glitches, most of which result in hilarious shenanigans that make for a fun, if not immersion-breaking, distraction from the story.

The Elder Scrolls IV was no stranger to glitches, either, but one of them stands out the most due to how much the player can achieve with it.

We're talking about the duplication glitch, which allows the player to spawn an infinite number of any item in the game simply by equipping one kind of scroll and then discarding another one. By doing this, the player tricks the game into thinking that two scrolls were actually dropped, and from then on, your imagination can go wild.

Are you short on health potions? Duplicate hundreds of them and never worry about your health ever again! Want to see what will happen if you drink fifty bottles of skooma? You might as well try with a thousand!

If exploiting the game's problems isn't your slice of cake, you can always just use the glitch to fill the streets of the Imperial City with cheese and watch as the NPCs struggle to follow their pathfinding in the sea of yellow wheels. The possibilities are endless!
