10 Amazing Glitches That Made Video Games More Fun

6. Giants Launching Enemies Into Orbit - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim is another hugely successful and hugely buggy Bethesda game. Although there are plenty of well-known glitches in the game, the one that has to be the most memorable for all the players is the glitch that allowed giants to launch everyone and everything into space.

Most first encounters with Skyrim's giants would play out in this way. The player would curiously approach the giants' camp and prepare themselves for a tough fight, but instead they would find themselves swung into orbit by the giants' ridiculously jacked up strength.

The glitch was already hilarious just for that. However, as soon as players discovered the Dragonborn isn't the only person that can become the victim of being literally launched, the glitch turned into a twisted but widely entertaining game of luring unsuspecting enemies near the giants to then watch them get flung high into the air.

If this still wasn't enough to quench your thirst for excitement, it turns out the VR version of Skyrim was also subject to the same glitch. If you were ever curious about what your character saw as they were shot into orbit face-first, you can experience it yourself in all of its terrifying glory.
