My playthough of Skyrim became so bugged that that I ended up having to 
restart, admittedly that was because I chucked in a bunch of mods not 
realising how easy it is to get conflict between them!

I thought, no problems I'll just remove the mods and carry on, nope 
still having problems. Even going way back through some save files 
didn't fix it. The problem seems to be that you can screw up the 
config/save files without realising it.

Oblivion, yeh that seemed at lot worse. The one I always remember was my 
horse decided it didn't like me any more so started walking back to a 
town. I didn't realise this horse had special powers until it started 
walking across a lake and was floating six foot up in the air.
