After more than ten years,The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas no doubt aged as time has gone on, but it still has its moments. In fact, many would consider itone of the most beautiful fantasy games around, and even if the vanilla experience looks a little dated now, there are a ton of mods that vastly improve the visuals. However, for all its stunning graphics and enormous gameplay, it isn’t a game without its flaws, and players are still finding bugs to this day.
Take Reddit user UnreasonablyEdgy as an example. Recently, they posted a screenshot from theirSkyrimplaythrough which shows a dragon high in the sky. However, the player has stated that this dragon has managed to somehow kidnap their horse, with the image showing the equine on top of the winged beast. Some in the comments have been making jokes about how the dragon in question has joined the Thieves Guild. As glitches go, this is probably one of the least harmful, but it’s still an inconvenience for the user.

Everyone who’s played the game knows thatdragons are an integral part ofSkyrim, constituting the linchpin of the main storyline. Their history is quite long and complex, and despite them being antagonists in the world, they are quite magnificent beasts. However, players like UnreasonablyEdgy don’t expect them to swoop down and steal their horse. It isn’t mentioned whether or not they were able to retrieve the animal, but from such a great height, it’s unlikely the horse will have survived the kidnapping.
As beloved as the game is, it’s infamous for its huge amount of bugs that have somehow still not been patched out by the developer. Even theAnniversary Edition ofSkyrimhad game-breaking glitcheswhen it came out late last year. Some modders have even taken to amending some of them, and while a lot are mainly harmless, perhaps even a little funny, there are those which ruin the overall experience for players.
However, issues with the game don’t seem to have impeded its popularity, even after a decade. And withThe Elder Scrolls 6said to still be in pre-development, it’s going to be a long time before fans get to see the next installment in the long-running series. Whether the follow-up, whenever that gets released, will suffer from a similar barrage of glitches remains to be seen, but hopefully Bethesda will take the time to make sureTES6is as solid an entry as it can be.
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrimis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
