Despite how celebrated and belovedThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis for so many players, it does have its fair share of technical issues. Ever sinceSkyrimfirst released on the sixth console generation, the game has had numerous bugs and glitches discovered by players over the years. Although, one such bug actually assisted a player’s experience withSkyrimas opposed to detracting from it.
Through dilligent trial and error, players have cultivated means of increasing the various ability trees presented throughoutSkyrimvia many creative methods. One player managed to learn atrick that increases the lockpicking skill inSkyrimwith minimal effort, but for many skills, especially combat oriented ones, it’s difficult to increase the skill by way of other methods outside of active combat. Though, due to a perfectly timed bug, a certain player managed to level up their two-handed sword skill more efficiently.

A Reddit user named InstructionSlow3396 encountered a Blood Dragon with an infinite hitbox. This allows the user to perpetually level up theirtwo-handed weapons abilitywithout having to worry about the dragon dying. However, this does present an interesting problem, considering that the Blood Dragon will likely continue to attack and follow the player.
Believe it or not, there are plenty of exploits that players can use to level up combat abilities in a similar fashion to the one the Reddit user encountered. One of which involves Shadowmere, the horse given to the player during aDark Brotherhood quest. Since the horse can’t be killed, players can keep attacking the horse and gradually level up their combat abilities. While very morbid in nature, it is rather effective.
It’s somewhat odd howBethesdahas yet to patch out some of the bugs and glitches presented withinSkyrim, especially considering the age of the game. That said, many fans consider the technical issues withinSkyrimpart of the game’s charm. The glitches have, at the very least, provided plenty of memes and fan-made content for players to enjoy online.
It will interesting to see what the future holds forThe Elder Scrollsseries going forward.The Elder Scrolls 6is still currently in development, but fans have yet to receive any additional update regarding the game’s development. Given how many projects Bethesda is currently working on, along with the recent release ofSkyrim Anniversary Edition, it’s possible thatThe Elder Scrolls 6just needs more time spent on it before it can be shown off to the general public.
