The ultimate feeling - coming across a backwards-flying dragon or seeing a villager half-morphed with a parsnip - even though over time most have been patched out, Skyrim is a bevy of hilarity when it comes to stupid visual glitches. Unless you play PC, that is, in which case there's a crazy amount of mods/exploits to discover that'll let you tweak everything from randomly falling cheese to multiple followers. You lucky, lucky people.
16. Discovering About 90% Of People You Meet Are Racist
The raging racism among the Holds of Skyrim becomes obvious the moment you begin interacting with characters. Whether it's a mere "Damn Elves" or a full blown "I can't believe we let provincials like you wander Skyrim" (ouch), you'll probably have gotten yourself into a few pub brawls due to it.
15. Dreaming About Skyrim More Than You Dream About Your Own Life
Whether it's being served by Aela the Huntress in Burger King, fighting off Draugrs in your back garden or coming into work to find an infestation of Mudcrabs: there comes a time when Skyrim world not only starts to infiltrate your thoughts in the working day, but enters deep inside your unconscious mind too. Real life? What is this devilry you speak of?
14. Having To Walk The Entire Journey To Whiterun Because Youre Too Greedy To Drop Items
You cannot fast travel while over encumbered. You are carrying too much to be able to run. Absolute first world problems. What's worse is the fact your follower is maxed out on capacity, too. Time for the excruciatingly slow crawl back home where youll find yourself selling cack-tonnes of rubbish to merchants, simply to level up your speech, leading to more perks; all so you can sell more rubbish to them. Ah, the vicious circle of greed and commerce.
13. Breaking A Dozen Lockpicks To Open A Master Locked Chest, Only To Find Two Gold And A Potato Inside
Oh. Everyone's. God. Lockpicking in Skyrim isn't the most difficult of tasks, but it can soon turn you Hulkish if your endless twiddling is delaying a quest. Not forgetting the absolute violent rage as your last lockpick snaps.
