Despite the massive amount of notorietyThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas achieved during its ten-year commercial run, the game is not without its shortcomings. To this day, there are a number of technical issues, such as glitches and bugs, that permeate the world ofSkyrim. Now, one player has witnessed something deeply strange during their very first time playing the game.
In most AAA examples, glitches tend to be frowned upon in terms of the gaming community. Technical problems can certainly offer a degree of entertainment value that the core content would have never otherwise provided, but with games likeCyberpunk 2077, the bugs are so noticeable and consistent that it detracts from the experience altogether. Luckily,Skyrimhas gotten to the point where the in-game glitches have become an active part of the culture surrounding the game, as a brand-newSkyrimplayer recently found out.

Over on Reddit, a user named thatfitnessdude posted a gameplay clip of them riding in the wagon with Ralof andUlfric Stormcloakduring the beginning portion ofSkyrim.Suddenly, the wagon starts to violently buck up and down as though something is magically pulling it off the ground. The wagon then proceeds to spin around in the air, all of which is still being witnessed from a first-person perspective.
According to the user, this was their first attempt at playingSkyrim,which is fairly unfortunate that the player was still in the beginning of the game when glitches started to occur. While this is still a humorous occurrence, given that this is their first time playingSkyrim, andthey weren’t able to leaveHelgenwithout running into this glitch, it has the potential to leave a rather negative first impression.
It’s strange that even after being out for over a decade,Skyrimstill possesses a number of game-breaking bugs. A significant portion of fans claim that the glitches are part of the game’s charm, but when it comes to people who have never playedSkyrimbefore, it can certainly come as a shock. Though, with any luck,Skyrim: Anniversary Editionhas hopefully addressed some of these longstanding issues.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forThe Elder Scrollsseries going forward. Back in 2019, Bethesda officially announced the development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6, but there has been little to no additional information provided. In fairness, Bethesda’s new upcoming title,Starfield,is likely taking up a lot of development time.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
