It’s rather difficult to understate the amount of critical and financial success thatThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimexperienced at the time of its release. In 2011, the game received universal praise across the board and won numerous game of the year awards. Since thenSkyrimhas been re-released on multiple gaming systems across several console generation cycles. Unfortunately, the game was also released in an incredibly buggy state that was never entirely fixed.
The actual glitches inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimare so numerous that it’s difficult for one to ever put them all together into a comprehensive list. A more recently discovered glitch, for example, shows an entire city full of fog, making theSkyrimtown look and feel likeSilent Hill. The latest bug discovery, however, is yet another one involving a horse.

For reasons that have never entirely been made clear, horse glitches are common throughout the game. One of the more hilarious ones inSkyriminvolved a horse flying into the skyto battle a pair of dragons with some tragic results. In this latest horse-involved glitch, Reddit user hayleylovesforks showed an image where, due to clipping issues, it appeared that an NPC had the head of a horse.
Since the game was originally released in 2011, it has been re-released, depending on how one counts, at least three times.Each version ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas a few unique adjustments, but unfortunately, glitches like this continue to be part of the package in every release.
For as many times asThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas been re-released, it hasn’t patched out the majority of these issues. Even when the tenth-anniversary edition was released last year, at least six majorgame-breaking bugs were discovered inSkyrimupon its launch. While some of the bugs are hilarious just as many can be frustrating and can hamper one’s experience with the game.
On the other hand, it can be argued that, at this point, the bugs inSkyrimare part of the fun. As frustrating as some of these bugs can be there are many glitches inSkyrimthat can be helpful to the player character. It’s also clear that gamers are having a lot of fun discovering and sharing these bugs. Perhaps the laughter that comes with an NPC having a horse head makes up for some of the game’s more frustrating elements.
