Summary
A hauntingSkyrimglitch has caused one player’s eyes to glow like draugr, with seemingly no fix in sight. WhileSkyrimis well known for its abundance of glitches, this particular issue is extremely cursed.
As a Bethesda game,Skyrimhas more than its share of glitches. Some are frustrating to experience, while others are just hilarious. One recently discoveredSkyrimglitch even made Markarth’s river disappear, which was an odd sight. Ultimately, it comes down to the game’s longevity. There are very few games that have players on the lookout for new bugs almost 13 years after its original release, so naturally, moreSkyrimbugs will be found. Luckily, Bethesda has patched out most of the game-breaking issues inSkyrim, so it’s very rare that players deal with something like that nowadays.
Redditor tony_saufcok shared thestrangeSkyrimglitch, which causes the player’s eyes to glow like a Draugr. Some in the thread didn’t exactly see this as a problem, with one user claiming “Looks dope congrats.” Several gamers in the thread tried to come up with unique roleplay scenarios the player could embrace, in the scenario that the bug proved unfixable. Suggestions ranged from “Too much Skooma,” to “One too many glowing mushrooms.”
Disturbing Skyrim Glowing Eyes Glitch
One player in the the thread had actually seen this bug before, claiming it was a bug with using theSkyrimshoutAura Whisper. However, the only fix that they had found was reloading a previous save. If tony_saufcok didn’t have anotherSkyrimsave before this issue occurred, they would have been completely out of luck. In the end, the user did come up with a solution involving the use ofSkyrimconsole commands, but a console player having this same problem would not have been so lucky.
With Bethesda now in full development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6, the wait is almost over for the next iteration of the franchise. It has been a mammoth wait so far, with gamers displaying an enormous amount of patience for almost 13 years while Bethesda developedFallout 4,Fallout 76,andStarfield. Recent news suggests thatThe Elder Scrolls 6is in a playable state, although this doesn’t confirm how close the new game is to actually launching. Bethesda has remained pretty quiet on the sequel, so gamers will have to wait for the studio to let loose any official news at some point in the future.
