The world of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is one that is incredibly extensive and open-ended. With various different NPCs that players can interact with, which in turn initiate a multitude of ongoing quests, there's a lot for players to accomplish within Skyrim. Although, the game is not without its fair share of glitches, as one player recently encountered.
While Skyrim is one of very few games to retain its popularity for nearly 10 years, the game does possess numerous technical issues and bugs. This can lead to unexpected and hilarious scenarios that players most likely didn't intend to happen. The most recent example of which being a player witnessing their follower companion getting launched into the air during the middle of a quest.
A Reddit user named nickcwright80 recorded a video of their wife playing Skyrim, specifically during the Lost to the Ages quest. As the pillar rises into the air, the follower companion in her party gets sent flying upward into the air, causing the user's wife to laugh uncontrollably. Understandably so, considering how unanticipated the situation is, especially during an active questline.
It ultimately depends on which version of the game she's playing, but it's surprising to see that occurrences like this can still be experienced in a game as old as Skyrim. In fact, it's impressive that players are still managing to find new glitches in Skyrim after so long. Take for example, the funny deer glitch in Skyrim that one player discovered a couple months ago.
Very few games can claim to have maintained the same level of popularity and relevancy that Skyrim currently boasts. The fact that Skyrim still has an active player base a full ten years after the game's initial launch and is still getting is getting a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S update is quite the achievement. Although, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for The Elder Scrolls series going forward.
There has been little to no news regarding The Elder Scrolls 6. The game was first announced back in 2018 and there still has yet to be any sort of substantial update regarding the game's development or when fans can expect to see The Elder Scrolls 6 released. It's likely that Bethesda is just waiting to have enough content ready to show off to the community of fans. With any luck, new information regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 will be revealed in the coming months.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development.
