The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim/Glitches

Glitches

Torch Glitch

This glitch allows for sprinting without stamina. To execute it, equip a torch and and tap the sprint button once. Stamina will continue to drain but the character will not stop sprinting when it is depleted. It is advised that the torch is favorited and hotkeyed so it can be unequipped, preventing it from running out and being removed.

Object Clipping

Object clipping allows the player to move through walls. This is used to sequence break the game, making it much shorter. It is achieved by running into a particular surface while holding an item. Items that work well for object clipping include buckets and platters.

Dialog Skipping

There are a few ways to make characters speak their dialog quicker.

Bumping

To bump a character, simply sprint into them. In most circumstances this will make them stop the line they are saying, and the next line of dialog will go on.

Quick save/Quick load

Quick saving and loading will also skip most dialog. This is useful in places where bumping isn't possible, like the council. See video references for when to bump and when to quick save and quick load.

Crouch Clipping

Crouch clipping enables the player to enter some geometry. This is used to get into Mzark lift, allowing access to the Elder Scroll without having to cross through Blackreach.
