hi,

has anyone ever seen/heard of this message:

A bad (dead?) pointer has been detected. The system will now crash. Have a NICE day. :) (see Chris)

it happened when i picked up a belt. as soon as i clicked on the belt, i heard a little dinging noise and the message came up. i clicked OK in the message box, and the game did indeed crash to the desktop. this happened to my brother as well, when he was picking something up too. is this something i should worry about, or is it just the game makers idea of a silly joke when something goes wrong? i've had the game crash before, but this is the first time i got that message.

thanks much,

Check out (http://www.elderscrolls.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2785436&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&vc=1) this thread at the official Elder Scroll forums. Same problem you're having, with some advice from someone who knows.

yes there are lots of hidden messages in the game. for example, "Go to Hell, Carolina" when you get eltonbrand. and that other thing it says when you jump over the wall to leave mounhold, cant remember what though.
