Have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn’t follow Ralof or Hadvar and instead stayed in Helgen? Well, I decided to find out. I started a new game, rode in the carriage as usual, avoided the execution, and ran up the tower stairs with Ralof. After that, I reached Ralof and Hadvar, who were urging me to join them. But since, in this playthrough, I fear them more than the dragon, I decided to wait. After a while, Alduin flew straight to me, and here’s what happened.

So close yet so far to being eaten would have been way cooler
That bug just happened to me. Wierd
Never deal with a dragon! 😂
Stark 👍
Just load your prisoner save. You won't have to sit through the carriage ride
but what happens when you stay in helgen and avoid alduin killing you?
This bug actually happened to me
Even 10 years later you can still find new bugs, I find that kinda beautiful in its own way 😂
I experienced a similar bug where it was delayed. The moment I go back down the stairs and up again it was fixed seems to be a bug triggered based on how fast you speed run the game in that opening sequence
What if we plate travel out of Helen?
I like to imagine he goes to you because he figured out which person there was Dovah.
The dragon make the choice for ya 👍🏽
I had it bug where the hole was in the wall but Alduin wasnt there lol it was weird going thru all the scripted events without alduin being there lol
Thats a PC BUG
lmao, ty for this.
I had that not breaking through glitch the first time I tried to play Skyrim. I ended up giving up after a few tries and didn't play the game for like 2 weeks after buying it.
why didn't you hide in one of the house where Alduin couldn't reach you instead of serving yourself up on a silver plater for diner, try that next time👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've seen this bug
Imagine playing your first play through ever and the tower bug occurs😂
I had that same bug happen to me it was on the Nintendo switch but I don’t have that account anymore and my switch does not work anymore
Why would you need to do the carriage again?
Just load the save before the questioning?
Out of curiosity of possible loot i explored for too long and got executed too.
You don’t have to reset the game. If you go back behind ralof after you gone past him alduin will barge thru the wall.
Imagine if this was your first playthrough. How confusing that would be
I’ve had this bug to. It happens if you go up the stairs too fast, but alduin will break through the wall if you go back down.
How did you get the binds off if you didn't enter the keep?
That glitch with Aldiun happened to me also, it was on one of my Skyrim vr play throughs though so kinda to be expected
Mods
I had that bug one of the first times I played on my computer after playing on PlayStation 3 for so long
One of the rarest bugs actually. Something like he gets stuck on a bug or terrain and never enters the scene
It just works…
I wish it would've been the dragon flying over and saying "Here you f*ing idiot, if you can't decide ill just take you myself."
That's happened to me the first time I played it in 2011. I just had no idea where to go. That or got a bug where both of them disappeared for me once I jumped from the tower.
There’s a Prisoner Autosave after the carriage ride before you lock in your name and character.
My first ever time playing Skyrim, it ended this way for me, as I couldn't decide who to follow 😊
What a surprise
