Skyrim: 10 Glaring Problems Everyone Always Overlooks

1. It's Buggy To No End

Some people will argue that the bugs in Skyrim are 'part of its charm', and that's true... to an extent. Being able to traverse vertical walls with gravity-defying horses is a thing of wonder, but Skyrim has far more malicious bugs that can absolutely destroy the experience.

Playing can feel like pot-luck. Every time you start a game you are rolling the dice to see which quests are going to be broken and which aren't. Having to get a guide in order to figure out the precise steps you need to take in order to not ruin certain questlines is incredibly telling of the mess Skyrim can turn into.

Bethesda's games are known for this sort of thing, and for the most part, the experience outweighs the inconvenience. But Skyrim has so many game-breaking bugs, so many glitched quests and so many broken elements that the game is borderline unplayable.

No matter how much you love the game, it is glaringly obvious that Skyrim is fundamentally broken in a lot of places, despite its brilliance and scope.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
