Skyrim Help - *SPOILERS PROBABLY*

Okay, is it just me, or does the dragon at Bonestrewn have a major glitch? For one thing, the fucker doesn't stay in one place. As soon as I run to where it is, its gone! Also, it flies backwards, wobbles around and won't land or attack. It's either very glitched or drunk. Anyone else having this problem? I read on a forum somewhere that others have had this problem and Dragonrend will bring it down. I am just about to learn that shout, so hopefully I can finally kill this asshole and be done with it.

Oh, and that's the other issue I found. My husband, in this case Farkas that sexy beast, is the one who said, "Hey, I want to go kill a dragone. Blah, blah, blah." So he's following me on this little quest. This is the 3rd dragon hunt we've been on. Problem is, there's no way to tell him to stop following. He just does it automatically when you kill the dragon. BUT I CAN'T KILL THE DRAGON! So he's been following me EVERYWHERE and it's really annoying. Every time I turn around he's like, "Hello dear. Can I help you love?" I want to punch him in the throat. So, that's another reason to learn Dragonrend and get this one wrapped up.

I've found several weird glitches. I had one area where I had to turn some pillars and they wouldn't turn. I sat there for like an hour trying to figure out what I was missing, a latch, a start up mechanism, SOMETHING. Then I just reloaded the start of the quest and viola, they worked. I also noticed a lot of missing dialogue. It's like they didn't record the whole conversation, so you'll be talking to someone and their lips will be moving but nothing is coming out.

Anyone else finding any weird glitches?

Haven't come across the missing dialogue yet. The Dragon flying backwards, and not landing is a common glitch since the latest update. Also having all your resistances completely ignored is another glitch I've ran into a couple of times. Getting killed with one hit from an arrow or ice spike kind of sucks. You can delete the update, but it will send you back to the original release before the first patch. You also won't be able to play online.

The problems you're describing were introduced with patch1.02. While alleviating load-times and sprucing up the graphics-quality quite nicely, spotty play-back, quest hang-ups and backwards flying dragons entered the mix. This week, Bethesda is expected to patch to patch. Knowing them, it'll prolly be a thursday.

Well, Dragonrend won't work on the glitchy dragons either, so I guess I'm waiting for the new patch. :(

I have yet to play this game, still deciding whether I want it on the PS3 or Xbox, but I have heard of the glitches through guys at work talking about it.
