Skyrim's Hilarious Glitches: Dragonborn Takes Flight as 'Skyrim Rider'!

Yet another player of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has shared a comical glitch that transformed their Dragonborn into a rendition of Ghost Rider during their adventures in the action RPG. Despite being over a decade old, Skyrim still harbors numerous bugs and quirks that often lead to entertaining and amusing experiences, much to the delight of the game's devoted community.

While many Bethesda enthusiasts are currently immersed in the company's eagerly awaited new IP, Starfield, there remains a sizable contingent of gamers who continue to explore the vast realms of Skyrim. This is hardly surprising, given the immense content the game offers, despite its advancing years. Although Bethesda hasn't disclosed any new developments regarding the Elder Scrolls franchise or issued updates for Skyrim, the plethora of creative mods and preexisting in-game oddities appears to provide more than enough entertainment to sustain the interest of the action RPG's player base.

Over on Reddit, a user by the name of rbmbox recently shared an old PlayStation 4 video from their Skyrim playthrough. In this video, their Dragonborn appears to undergo a bizarre transformation reminiscent of Marvel's Ghost Rider. The video begins innocuously enough, with the player taking aim at a dragon soaring overhead. The Dragonborn unleashes a shout, and moments later, the dragon descends, seemingly inviting the character to ride it through the skies. However, this airborne adventure takes a humorous turn as it coincides with the dragon's animation of death and the absorption of its Dragon Soul. The result: the Dragonborn transforms into a Skyrim version of Ghost Rider, soaring astride a fiery, expiring dragon across the Skyrim skies.

Comments on the Reddit thread reveled in the delightful absurdity of the situation, readily drawing parallels between rbmbox's experience and that of Ghost Rider. Notably, Ghost Rider is known for his fiery motorcycle, and Redditors couldn't help but draw the connection between rbmbox's Dragonborn and the flaming dragon ride. Some speculated about the circumstances that triggered this peculiar scene, pondering if the Dragonborn's companion had dispatched the dragon after they had employed the Bend Will shout, potentially causing the glitch. Rbmbox surmised that the commenter's theory might be correct, though they were unable to replicate the same glitch during subsequent playthroughs of Skyrim.

These amusing and unexpected moments in Skyrim are precisely what players have come to anticipate in online forums. It underscores the enduring relevance of the action RPG, which, despite its age, remains captivating and engaging thanks to its vibrant and passionate community of players.
