Skyrim Glitches

Glitches in Skyrim are almost the name of the game, just as much as any other part of this highly realistic fantasy world. A sad but very true statement. Thankfully the game is so good that people are willing to look past the glitches, bugs, wonkiness and overall unpolished gameplay; and some even enjoy the glitch-fest.

For that latter group in particular, here is a look at some of the many glitches and exploits to be found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Please note that we do not condone using these glitches or taking advantage of these bugs. You do so at your own risk and possible peril.

Infinite XP Glitch

As the name suggests, this bug allows you to gain infinite amount of Experience or XP, and level all of your Skill trees up to 100. Which, undoubtedly, will ruin the game for anyone who wants to play it legitimately. This is a pretty complex trick with a lot of weird tasks to complete in order to make the glitch happen, so watch this video to see an in-depth explanation.

Free House and Free House Upgrades Glitch

This exploit enables you to buy a house for ZERO Gold (FREEE!) and fully upgrade it. It involves physically pushing the house seller (Proventus Avanicci) found in the Dragonsreach building at Whiterun, beside a dresser on the far side of the room. You will then use the dresser to hold your money while you are having a conversation with him about buying the house. This exploit causes him to be unable to take the money from you, effectively making the house free of charge. See how it’s done in this video.

Wedding Crasher Bug

This odd glitch is a fun one. I won’t spoil it for you, but watch the video to see a true wedding crasher in action.

This glitch can be fixed by dragging the body downstairs and out of sight.

Do you know of any other glitches in Skyrim with accompanying videos? If so leave us a comment with a link to the video and we’ll (possibly) add it to the list and give you credit!
