BUGS: Probably infinite, although none are known. However, that Ice Monsters sometimes transfix you permanently is not a bug. It's a feature.

Skyrim has that pleasant water cooler quality where every person you discuss it with has a different experience, but after a while, the conversation will turn into a glitch-swapping party. My best one was an old lady, hovering twenty feet in the air, before disappearing into the ground before my eyes. I never even knew her name, but I will always remember you, Hovering Ground Lady.
I think I made fish too hardcore.

, creator of Cultist Simulator I can’t speak for other developers, but I assume many of our players will utilize any angle we give to them, intentionally or not. If you give them an inch, they’ll pound a chisel into that inch until they can split the entire system apart. That said, I do not have a negative opinion about players who use glitches. It’s in their nature and I’d say it’s in my nature as well ... In the case of Dead Money, specifically, I was always skeptical about glitch-proofing it. I only did system design on DM, but that was my opinion at the time. There are certainly many glitches in the engine and I was confident that players would find a way to get the gold barsnote out without resorting to console commands or “true” (bushidō-breaking) cheats.
) cheats. It's almost like the game doesn't want you doing this. But if that were true, why does it fill me with such joy?
