One of the ones I almost always incounter is the one where every object dissapears! I am just running and jumping through Solstheim and hit a load point... and BOOM! all the trees dissapear!
Once I had a odd version of the above happen to me, I was running to Balmora from Caldera and when I got there... almost all of the doors in the city had dissapeared! Nothing else, just the doors, they came back soon though.
Once I was running and jumping through the Ashlands, when I just fell through the ground, no matter what I did I just fell when I went ad tried to walk on that section of ground, I had to levitate to get out of the "hole" I guess you could call it, and to get over it. It never happened again after I turned off the X-Box...
Just recently I was playing Morrowind and was going to Balmora as a new Character. I decided to walk over that small hill deviding Balmora from the road leading to its "main" gate. Then all of a sudden my PC start walking up a steeper invisible hill, It went higher then the Orc you have to kill as Fighters guild quest (Forgot her name)'s house, in fact I was standing over it when I decided to turn around and try again, then I simply fell, just fell, for no appearent reason I fell. I tried to do this again, but to no avail, I guess the mystery of the invisible hill will never be solved...

Going so fast up the stairs as a werewolf in the fort on Solstheim that I fell through the stairwell and into a grey nothing was a good one.

jumping over a damned fence, getting stuck on top of the fence, and finally getting shot up into the air by the fence and NEVER hit the ground. i changed the channel and watched TV for like an hour and i was still in the air.
Oh and this one kinda scared me. it happened several times, i was waiting for the game to load and instead of like showing a picture it showed a white background and in vey large print HDI. but it looked like the spraypaint from microsoft paint, it was so creepy.

On my first charcter this wierd thing happend where my character couldn't go down in elevation. If I jumped I would land in air. I could keep juming and gain infanite height, but could never get lower. Then later, every characters map disapered. So finaly I deleted that account, and every one's map came back, it was really wierd.

I was in Caldera I think, and I entered the door to the pawnbroker and BAM I fell through into infinite orange, and then catapulted back up and died at the entrance to the door .. ( I was lvl 8)
THIS is the weirdest glitch i've ever seen. Along with
This (Okay, its the same thing, screw you.

)
I managed to cuase THAT by typing
CODE
placeatpc "Playersavegame" 1 1 0
Which means, I told the game to place a copy of myself at my location.
The game however, gave my copy all my stuff (as it should have), BUT it didn't place the scripts (namely, the WW scripts) on him. Meaning he has the WW mesh on him, but ACTS like a normal NPC.
Hence why the fetcher is shooting at me with me own bow...

The mod's a little-known one called Ya'Irun's Moon.
Its a moon (Using the same mesh and texture as the Moon above vivec) Above Pelagiad, and the interior is done in a very rich Redoran style, as you can see.
Except for the bar in the player's room. Thats Dwemer..

'tis a nice house.

I've had various occasions in which I've travelled through imperceptible gaps in the walls of interior cells and found myself outside of the game and walking around on an infinite plain that is the colour of whatever fog effect is applied to the area I left from. Because you are not technically on a surface, you can walk around but whenever you jump there is nothing to land on and you will fall forever. It is possible to get back inside the area you left by walking back towards it, so it's not really that game breaking.
I think it's possible to do wherever two sections of an area are not perfectly aligned, so there is a tiny gap between them. One place I remember it happening is a morag tong building in Sadruth Mora, I think.

Google it, works for other mods. Back on track though, I don't really think that counts as a glitch, you caused it to happen with the Command menu thingy(I meant the Werewolf attacking with the bow "glitch").

Sep 13 2005, 10:29 PM
an easter egg is an item, place, name, or situation in the game that is a hint to something outside of the game.
like in solstine(sp) there is a skelly hanging from the celing in a snow cave with his sword right below him. An easter egg to star wars, which ever one was in the snow....

Intestinal Chaos
Nov 14 2005, 05:19 PM
Here's one everyone might have experienced (or maybe it is just me). Every now and then (very rarely) I will pick up an item. Suddenly a message from one of the devs (most likely a forgotten note to another dev) appears and says
"(name I forgot), it broke, please fix it. -Todd"
Then the game would shut off. I don't recall what all the items I picked up were but I recall once it was an obscure perfectly normal cup that I looted from ontop a box that was under the stairs in Fort Peligiad.

Not exactly a glitch or an easter egg...
I was playing around with the soul-trap exploit the other day and
made a spell of two seconds invisibility on self and two seconds of soul-trap on target.
I saved my game just before casting
(for the same reason I no longer run with scissors)
Sure enough my character stayed invisible.
Nobody could see him, and muck like Chameleon I could steal things from people right in front of them.
I saved again and reloaded.
My character was no longer invisible to me (he looked normal) but
nobody else could see him.
Cliff racers and rats just ignored me.
Even the Dremora Lords that would poof behind me when I'd snatch the odd gem would be content to twiddle their thumbs.

My house Telvanni character somehow also joined house Hlaalu. It happened in Ebonheart, I think I was talking to Duke Dren. Only thing I remember is that I had killed his brother, and I think he said something to the effect that I'd be hortator for house Hlaalu now. Very strange, there I was, suddendly a member of two great houses!
I never explored it further, because that just didn't work for me.

Oh aye...I´m also member of two houses..Redoran and Hlaalu, and I became Hlaalu the way you described...and I started to do Hlaalu-quests..and it works very well until you must build yoiur stronghold..then it´s finito....you don´t get a construction-contract from the duke..unless you steal it from him..And the guy in Balmora won´t build it anyway..so...

Hmm... I don't remember running into a lot of glitches, except thattime when I fell through the docks near Ebonheart (every time in front of a guard) into the water, which annoyed me because I have to find and swim my way back.
Oh, I also remember that several of the NPC's I was escorting got stuck into trees or something, and they just stayed running in place there. Now that was just plain annoying, though I did feel relieved when one of the 'stuck' NPCs was that mean lady that wanted me to escort her to Deathgate(?).
Besides that, I haven't run into a lot of frustrating 'game-hurting' glitches yet (though there were a few times I got stuck). At least, not much from I remember (and you know how bad my memory is.

Those Hands of almalexia are a b**** to kill, I was going about killing Almalexia before doing the main quest, sure Almalexia was easy to kill but I think those 6 hands were each as powerful as her. Let me give you some stats
Hands of Almalexia: 394 health (not much) but 200 heavy armour skill, 150 block and 3 pts restore health per sec with their good armour and 5 exquisite health potions means they can take a punishment. 125 speed and endurance, 170 strength and agility, 150% resistance to fire, 40% reflect, around 50% resistance to frost, shock and paralysis; 20% to poision. 45% fortify attack. 1-43 ebony simitiar with an ok attack enchantment but only has 10 use so doesn't do much, except if you don't have reflect in which case it absorbs 50 strength for 10 seconds and damages 5 strength when multiplied by 6 leaves you with very little so you need reflect. One thing I noticed (didn't at the time), they don't have any resist magicka; wish I knew that because my frost spells weren't very effective.
Almalexia: 3000 health but no regeneration or defense agaisnt physical attacks. Immunity to fire, poison, paralysis, disease

& normal weapons. 50 resist shock, magicka and frost. 100-100 damage and hopefire which does 30-70 damage. But she only has 80 speed so is slower than the hand of almalexia. Her spell has weakness to fire 75% for 5s, fire damage 100pts & absorb health 40 with 10 shots of those. No reflect though. And note if you fight her before your supposed to she has 1-5pt regeneration per second.
All in all I think the hands are harder to beat because of their high armour and block and their large amounts of health potions (unless you pick pocket them). In a 1 on 1 fight I'd except a hand to win but I haven't tried this (I should) though that is largely because they have high resistance to fire.

Not sure if somebody mentioned this before. But sea creatures on the land. I find them quite alot now, and It always supprises me exactly how far they get up land. For some reason they seem to come in bunchs, usaully 3 dreugh on the top of a hill by the water or a couple of slaughterfish on the shore. Tends to be on steap surfaces though, not sure if thats related to the bug.

How about land creatures on the sea? I was on a mission in Raven Rock where you must destroy a mass of spriggans around the colony site. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one of them. It wasn't until my next reload (I should have saved more...) that I saw what had happened - a spriggan was running over the sea, half-submerged since it had no swimming animation.
