The one with guns also had the glitch where if you spoke to someone everyone would 'maintain current action' so background NPCs stay animated but don't advance anything.

But on your spaceship, where everyone is supposed to be safe one action was 'climb ladder' so they'd keep climbing, never engage 'get off ladder animation' phase through the roof of the ship and get a mile in the air and despawn, killing them in the safe zone.

it wasn't open world though it was super linear. it felt like playing a demo, as if most of the areas were blocked off for the full game but that would never come.

the bugs were some of the only interesting things going on in the game.
The areas were pretty small, too.

I adopted two children in Skyrim. I left them the house in Whiterun, and I live alone in the woods at Lakeview. The last four times I've been to Whiterun, the adopted girl hasn't been around. I just fast traveled there and arrived at 3 AM, and she wasn't even in bed. The boy was there, the girl was not.

Is.... my daughter dead? I thought Todd didn't allow children to be killed in these games. I just want her to find me random alchemy reagents to make sure she's ok. :ohdear:

The boy probably just ate the girl because you left them with no food or supervision for long periods at a time. You are a bad parent.

Hey now! Hey. I left them with food. I do leave for days at a time, the girl has recently adopted a pet fox, and I am a werewolf. But this is all fine.

I assume she is stuck in someone's house, or maybe with the sickos in Dragonreach. It seem plausible that she followed me into a house by way of the dialogue glitch (that pulls NPCs who are talking at you into doors you pass through) and just got stuck somehow.

There's kidnapping sidequests. Look around for a note. I think.

There's also a bug where Lidia or whatever her name is gets stuck randomly in Carlotta's house. Can't even remember what town that is and I'm too lazy to check.

My favorite Skyrim glitch (which unfortunately is also why I stopped playing) happened when an invincible temporary party member NPC would wander away and be friendly but turn hostile when he was near. Sometimes I'd be out in the middle of the woods and he'd just encounter me there. DIE YOU FIEND! He'd say. A single hit from my sword would make him take a knee for a little bit, but as soon as he got up, if he saw he, DIE MONSTER! Dude would just randomly show up at places.

I couldn't complete his quest, though :\

I genuinely assumed some kind of glitch was more likely, that Todd Howard had abducted the kid. An actual plot was like third on my list.

Cool if true. I'll find out shortly if this game is going to turn into Taken, But With Werewolves.

There are in fact multiple immortal NPCs this can happen with. You’ll just have an immortal randomly show up and attack you sometimes, it’s mostly annoying but sometimes cool

I saw this happen with an NPC and a bear. He’d run away from the bear, but the bear would catch and down him, which breaks aggro so it would wander off, but when he got up it would turn around and chase him down again. I followed them across a large chunk of the map before I lost track of them. For all I know he’s still getting harassed by that bear to this day

UPDATE

My kid was locked in a neighbor's house. It's a house that is always locked because the owner is at her produce stand all day, and at home at night. The kid must have followed her little pal into the house and got locked in. The two kids play tag all day, so I figured maybe mine glitched into the building. I had to pick the dang lock. All three of them poured out of the door the second the lock was picked, as though even the owner was locked in her own house.

Her pet fox was left in the house, though, and I can't interact with it in any way. I can't even manually pick it up. I'm sure that will work itself out. Maybe.

So, for those keeping score, Todd Howard kidnapped her.

In my defense at least, I had literally just woken up like five minutes ago. It was less that I had forgotten what thread I was in and more that it took me a few seconds to associate the story being told with the previous thread anecdotes in my groggy state.
