Uhm... I think this is a bug, and a pretty bad one at it..

Earlier I made my way to the top of the mountain where the Greybeards are and there was some stuff to mine. On the last piece, my character bugged out of the animation and I couldn't mine it. Didn't bother me because it happened before, but the issue is that now my character is all the time crouching, even though not sneaking. When I try to run I do the sneaking roll thing but I really don't know what's going on.

I have tried reloading the file, restarting my PS3, doing other animations like going to sleep but nothing fixes it. I always play with just one savefile so hopefully I'm not SOL...

I'm not sure how to fix your problem but this, of all games ... REQUIRES you to have more than one save file. I'd at least rotate 5 in case of bugs.

EDIT: Is there any downside to a Mage wearing heavy armor?

How can I create armor with alchemy or smithing enchantments? I keep seeing pics all over but I haven't found any armor with these stats to disenchant and place on new armor.

You can find Dragonscale/plate armors yes? I don't want to invest in smithing perks (making yet another character, can't find the one i really like) but i'd like to get a suit of Dragonscale anyway (i'm a collector). They're not sold, correct?

I should have taken more care. But yeah.. it seems like I'm completely out of luck here. 36 hours spent and now this :(

Oh well, I guess I will start another character and try to make it better this time, plus having multiple save files...

What happens if you jump in water and get into the swimming animation, then go back out?

Walking up to someone I'm sent to assassinate, stealth two feet in front of their face, and stick an arrow right between their eyes with no detection.

Stealth is pretty awesome.

Playing any Elder Scrolls game with one save file will always mean you are SOL

Resetting your character mesh might solve the problem, if you were on PC you could just put the sexchange command in twice in the console but I see your on PS3. Do you have the
Werewolf form
? That might do it.

3rd person players are crazy and should be locked up like the criminal scum they are.

I cured myself from the werewolf thing so I cannot try it. I just tried to swim and it would do the animation as expected, but then it would just go back to crouching. BTW, I can't turn on sneaking/crouching, as in, the one with the eye icon. It's just normal walk, but while crouching.. and I can only do the silent roll which is part of sneaking.. but it doesn't count as sneaking. Such a mess :(

I will try and just leave my save data, uninstall the game and re-install it. If I cannot fix it, I will just leave the savefile there in case some patch fixes it, but otherwise I will start a new character. The problem is, the kind of character I was playing now is the one I like the most (sneaking one, but with strong weapons and the like), so I will probably end up doing all the same stuff, lol.

Oh well, let's see if reinstalling the game fixes it... :/

Tried but couldn't. Don't like how the controls get all floaty and can never judge the melee distance properly.

I play in 3rd person when I'm sneaking around or walking in some really open areas. Otherwise for picking up loot, fighting and the like, I go 1st person view.

didn't because it just wouldn't let me on that area. I already deleted the PS3 data and I'm installing the game right now (40% right now). If it doesn't get fixed, I will try mining. Otherwise, I will just give up. I've tried riding a horse, swimming, going to sleep, wearing other armor, other weapons, not wearing anything, fighting, shouting, and pretty much all the stuff you might think of...

Oops. Look like I accidentally killed a bunch of misc quest NPCs outside a fort by accident because they were camped out next to a Forsaken encampment and I just assumed the heavily armed dudes were enemies.

Pickpocket 'Poisoner' perk + decent alchemy + average sneaking = master assassin.

I usually drop a Weakness to Poison potion and a Lingering Damage Health poison in the unfortunate sap's pockets and calmly walk away. 3-5 secs later, they lie dead at my feet. This is especially useful for public assassinations where they may be lots of witnesses. I think poisoning is undetectable.

I love the perk that adds disarming to power bash. Its so fun to walk to to some fool and just bash him in the face and see his weapon go flying.
I disarmed some bandit yesterday and he pulled out a woodcutters axe to try and take me on. That didnt work.

OH MY GOD! I was able to fix it!.

I went to the very same place where I got 'stuck' while mining, pressed the button to mine and it made this super weird animation for like a fraction of a second and then started to mine like normal. Now he's standing like a human!!! :____) And I can crouch, too!

Fuck yeah! :D

Now to keep multiple save files :p

Went to that northern town where Ulfric Stormcloak lives. His pet wizard trains in Destruction magic!

I am not leaving this region of the world for a couple levels at least.

Probably LTTP here but did you all see this?

"Well this is really neat. As you've probably heard, Skyrim is a massive game. It's even bigger than you think though. A PC player, after discovering a gate-like structure in the southeastern portion of the map, turned on a "no clip" mode to explore beyond the Bethesda-set boundaries. This led to a surprising (and totally awesome) discovery.
It turns out that Morrowind and Cyrodiil, the environments featured in the two previous Elder Scrolls games, are built into Skyrim. There's not much to be found other than low-resolution landscapes, but Bethesda put in enough detail for key features like Morrowind's Red Mountain and Cyrodiil's White Gold Tower to be visible.
This raises some intriguing possibilities. It's unlikely that these landmasses exist solely for the purpose of making Skyrim feel like it's part of a larger world. There are regions, particularly Cyrodiil, recreated with a fair amount of detail that would never be visible from Skyrim's highest peaks."

DLC perhaps?

I was about to post this too, it's on the last page.

Doubtful they'll do any DLC stuff with it, though maybe modders can mess with it. The most logical explanation is it's in there to give the 3D map a fuller and more cohesive view of the environment, so there aren't any strange borders behind the clouds.

They'll only make this mistake once.

Fallout 3 was my first bethesda game and I found out the hard way, after 50 hours gameplay it kept crashing everything I tried to leave the room....had to start all over again :(

Now I always have atleast 3 save files and always make a save before entering a building.

This is what I would've thought to but considering the Imperial City, Kvatch and Anvil landscapes are all mapped out I'm not too sure.

It seems like a lot of work for nothing. Something must be planned surely.

Holy crap. If this turns out to be true, they get +100000 million points for releasing an honest-go-god expansion pack.

We'll see though...

Oblivion making up for Horse Armor with best DLC ever? That would be absolutely insane as an expansion pack.

I dunno, I'm inclined to think it's mostly (quite awesome) easter eggy stuff for people who like to experiment with the map borders. Think about the sort of undertaking that would be necessary to make anything meaningful with even just one of those areas, and filling them with the sort of detail you find in the Skyrim landscapes, as well as the previous games.

Remains to be seen what they'll do as far as expansions, but there's no way it can be significant enough to cover most of that stuff.

I think it may just be a cute sign of what's to inevitably come some time in the future, Elder Scrolls ## - Tamriel. Whether or not that'll come in the shape of an MMO remains to be seen. :p

Would they actually do that? Oblivion and Morrowind added to the game? Thatd be huge.

Question is if it would be filled with quests and life. An empty landscape is added more easily. But by the looks of it, it is really rudimentary and possible just there as reference for the world designers.

Yeah recreating over half of Cyrodiil/Morrowind for DLC does seem a bit excessive. Even if it doesn't turn out to be DLC related a lot of the work has already been done for the modders.
