The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas enticed players for over a decade with a fantasy setting full of dragons, rich lore, and intriguing quest lines. There’s a patternSkyrimplayers often experience of leaving the game after playing dilligently, only to get that itch to return to Tamriel and startSkyrimagain. Even after so many years since its release,Skyrimkeeps gamers coming back and is praised by fans ofThe Elder Scrollsseries as being one of thebest RPGs on the market.
However, even with so many fans still lovingSkyrim, there’s a part of the game that has created unintentional entertainment since its launch. This aspect ofSkyrimis the game’s bugs and glitches, which are often seen as a major sign of unfinished development in today’s gaming world.

Even after 10 years on the market, the majority ofSkyrim’sbugs are still available for players to bump into, with new and strange events occurring all throughout the game. One player on Reddit recently found out aboutSkyrim’swealth of glitches the hard way, as they were witness to an NPC taking flight inSkyrim’scity of Riften. In the short clip the player posted to Reddit, an NPC can be seen spinning slowly in front of the player, hovering just above ground.
It appears as though the player has first grabbed the NPC, like they would a prop or weapon by holding down the interact button, yet the NPC quickly frees themselves from the Dragonborn’s grasp, flying off into the sky as the speed of their spinning increases. When the player who posted the clip asked what is happening in the clip, another player simply responded, “Skyrim’shappening.” Other players referred to this as the averageSkyrimexperience, while some said it wasn’t a bug at all and that the NPC was merely on skooma, an addictive drug inTheElder Scrollsuniverse.
The NPC in this clip is one of the beggars found in Riften. Edda is not one of the mostmemorable NPCs inSkyrim, though like all beggars in the game she can bestow the Gift of Charity buff on the Dragonborn at the cost of one gold piece.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
