News on the Creation Kit and Game Updates

It’s been a few weeks since our last update on Skyrim’s status, so we wanted to share details on what we’re working on.
The Creation Kit and Steam Workshop are nearly ready. We’re currently working with members of Valve and our modding community to do some final testing, and we’re on track for a public release near the end of the month. We think Skyrim modding is one of the game’s best features, and we have the best modders of any game. It’s been a lot of exciting work for us, and we can’t wait to unleash it.
Skyrim’s 1.4 update is currently undergoing testing on all three platforms. The update will include fixes and optimizations for the most common issues people have been reporting (see below). We’re hoping to finalize this next week, and submit it to the console manufacturers for certification, as well as release on PC.
Our current update plan for the PC is to first release our updates as “beta” versions through Steam. This is something you’ll be able to opt into through Steam and back-out of if needed. This is an extra safety check for everyone going forward and should expedite and improve our updating process for our PC users. We’ll have more info soon on how this will work.
Echoing what we said back in December, we’ll continue to look into issues that are being reported and subsequent updates will follow. You have all supported Skyrim in a huge way, and we’ll be supporting all of you, and continue to make the game better.
After the break, check out the current changelog for 1.4.

What about the quest items involved in the Bard’s College? I can’t drop them even though I have completed the quests-clearly giving the people their belongings. Also, finding the lute quest is now stuck in my Misc. even though I actually completed it. In the College of Winterhold, the quest to find the missing students is never activated as I heard that it should be when you talk to one of the “teachers.” I have found two of those students and found their belongings but I don’t know if I should not expect a fix and sell them or hold on to it as I can see that this is not one of the fixes in this patch. Going back to the man who is supposed to be activating the quest doesn’t have the option to tell him that I have found the student/s.

I really wanted a fix for A Cornered Rat… I’m 150 hours in, level 60 and I wanted to do all the guilds and other side quests before the main quest. But after Delphine told me to speak to Esbern the quest never came up in my quest log, and I can’t talk to Brynjolf to find out where Esbern is because after the theives guild is complete Brynjolf doesn’t have dialogue options! I found Esbern in the ratway and he just tells me to go away… I can’t continue the main quest and I am definitely not trying to start a new game after all the time I’ve put into this game… (Xbox 360)

well, im having this problem:
I,ve finished the game and then started the hear of dibella quest, so i was Fighting through the first tower and rescued Fjotra, so i took the door out to skyrim and killed this fosworn guy, then a second one atacked me so i called my dragon for help, at some point my blood was so low that activated the magical effect on the Konahrik (Mask)i was wearing, so my health goes up, with an explotion; forsworm was killed but i think that explotion glitched my Dark Elf cause now he can go trough walls and everything, but can only go forward and backward, cant go up or down.
i didnt realize this on time so now every saved game i have is now corrupted, so any help with this? thankx.

I’m surprised they didn’t address the bug that I came across while playing, and that seems relatively common, from what I have read online. Specifically, in what I believe is called “Scoundrel’s Folly”, when leaving the Winking Skeever to follow Gulum-Ei, he disappears and the map shows him as outside the walls of the city. When you go outside the city, it shows him back in the city. The only way I got past this was using a console command I found online. Thank goodness I wasn’t playing it on my xbox! Anyhow, regardless, I really appreciate Bethesda’s continual improvements and bug fixes to Skyrim. They have truly created a masterpiece (one that is slowly sucking the life force from me as all of my free time is spent in the game).

Wow for once a good deal of those were ones I’ve actually run in to, the last update seems to have prevented a lot of freezing for me since I started through again, one thing you guys still might want to look into is Vaermina’s quest glitching by the priest disappearing when entering the temple, making it so you can’t progress through the quest any further.

Hey, I’ve stopped blaming the game companies. They had a beta running on this game for how long? It’s not like they can fix bugs that they don’t know are there. If a game is released with bugs after a lengthy beta period, blame the beta “testers” who are just in it to play the game early without actually doing what they’re supposed to.
That being said, let me just say….PC Master Race looks down upon you pitiful console jockeys. Mods = Gods.

“Master Criminal achievement/trophy unlocks properly in French, German, Spanish and Italian”
Well, good for them, but when the f*** you will be able to fix it for example in Polish version or even get the game available on Steam?
The reason I’m so angry about this is that some mods which I would really like to play contain note “This may disable Steam Achvments, you have been warned”, well good we have best modders, but hey what’s the point when I’m sitting in the middle of Europe and I’m not able to enjoy the game properly.
So please think about others and try to get things done this time.

Im still having problrms with quest related items not being removed from my inventory when I go to turn them in. This has happened with all 3 of of the items in the Bards college After you become a bard and the festival has been restored. there’s a flute, a lute and a drum. When I ‘turn them in’ the quest giver says thanx, gives me some training as a reward and the quest ends. however the items stay in my inventory taking up weight and cannot be dropped.
Also When I found the book ‘Cleansing of the Fane’ Before joining the college of Winterhold I am now unable to complete the proper book retrieval side quest and the book sits in my inventory, unremoveable.
And last but not least can we please do something about the 20 lb (thats 20 pounds!) elder scroll in my inventory that remains there forever even after Ive completed the main quest and exhausted all uses for it? Is there any point in having a 20 pound elder scroll just lying around in my inventory with no use and no way to get rid of it? No!

Gstaff, how will beta-testing work? Will there be a mechanism for reporting bugs? I hope you have something else in mind other than posting on the bethsoft forums, because there needs to be a more direct line of communication. Without it, I’m not sure a lot of people will bother with reporting bugs. There are more productive ways of collecting information than monitoring the complains on the bethsoft forums. There are people that genuinely want to help you make this game better, but there isn’t a way for them to communicate with you effectively.

I have questions about policing of the Steam Workshop…
What will happen if someone is caught committing plagiarism? Permissions and credits for using other people’s mod productions is a big deal for us.
Will it run rampant due to no effort on the part of moderators to curb it?
Will it just be deleted and the offender given a proverbial slap on the wrist?
Or will there be more dire consequences for the offender?

Excited to see how the Creation Kit turned out. Also, performance and compiler optimization tweaks are wonderful; tired of relying on TESVAL and SKyBoost, even if they are excellent tools. Working bookshelves and weapons rack fixes may actually allow me to decorate my house now… provided the physics engine explosion bug has also been fixed. Also, the quest fixes are great to see; I’d run into about 1/4 of those bugs myself.
Still much to be fixed, but glad to see so much improvement. This is a lot of work for 3 months since release, across 3 platforms.

Do you mean quest items on quests you’ve already completed,
and you’re playing on pc?
If thats the case,
you can use console commands to remove those items yourself.
The command is player.removeitem *item id here* *# of items*,
eg. “player.removeitem 5333b 1″ where “5333b” is the item id and “1” is the number of items you wish to remove.
All item ids for questitems can be found here: http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Quest_Items (Warning: Some spoilers.)

Still no fix for the issue in the Bards College quests?
All three instruments are stuck in my inventory even after I have completed the quest, and I cannot remove them/sell them/drop them. (PS3)
Also I noticed; if you kill the dragon guarding the word wall at Dragontooth Crater, then start the Dragon Slayer Blades quest relating to it, no dragon will re-spawn and the Blades will just loiter there indefinitely. My quest marker is always pointing at the location the dragon died, but no dragon is there so the quest cannot be completed.

How to get rid of the Elder Scroll is already in the game: After you’ve completed the main quest (or even after you defeat Alduin the first time) go to the College of Winterhold and talk to the orc in the Arcaneum. Offer him the Elder Scroll, and after a bit of conversation he gives you a couple of thousand gold for it.

What about the Farkas Bug where you and him goes to Dragontooth Canyon and the Dragon isent there for him to be stuck with you forever.
What about the stuck Quest items in your Inventory, like the Flute/Lute/Drum/Gallus Translating Journal when finishing Quests long ago.
What about Esbern not speaking to you and opening the door in the Ratway.
Maybe not a Bug, but could help the Obsessive Nightmother Contracts from the New Sanctuary Looping Kills and let us click on her for a New Contracts instead of her Forcing us to KILL KILL KILL with that Creepy Voice.
There is also a Bug with a Word Wall chanting, but Nothing happens and Esbern isent giving me Locations for New Word Walls to collect.
Why am i still Collecting Souls from Dragons if i got All the Shouts.
Can we have an Option to Lie to the Blades Girl so we arent Forced to Murder the Coolest Dragon in the Entire Game.

I saw a few fixes that may help out mine, such as Gauldurs amulet. But I still have other problems, like I still have Pantea’s flute, someone’s lute, and few other quest items stuck in my inventory after completing the quest. I also have a problem with “Shalidor’s Wrtting’s” where I went through the dungeon prior to the quest and now the quest item won’t appear in the chest. I have had the bookshelf and wall to the alchemy room in the Whiterun house randomly disappear, and reappear, dumping books all over the ground. I am having a problem with trying to play as a full on Mage. I’m level 18, maxed in destruction as far as I’m able too considering the limits, and barely scratching mobs of the same level. This is either a bug, or playing as a Mage is woefully underpowered. There is also bugs where items in houses and places that should be marked as stolen aren’t, and others that shouldn’t be are. This I think leads to looting an item that isn’t marked as stolen, and then it’s suddenly marked later in your inventory resulting in the guards suddenly recognizing you. Also, companions should wear the best helmet they are giving , not the last one which may be sub par. This is all on Xbox too, where I’m having numerous issues.

I haven’t seen a quest fix for Valthume yet. For “Evil in Waiting” you go through Valthume collecting the opaque vessels, and the last one is behind a puzzle door. The xbox 360 has a glitch where you cannot move the sections of the door. If you load/leave the area and come back, the rings can move, but putting in the correct match from the Iron Claw still doesn’t open the door. I am only really annoyed at this because I was told by Argneir to find a word of power in Valthume, and since I can’t get to the word wall, I can never ask him again for another word of power. It’s not really all THAT bad, but please fix this bug

* If you complete the Valtheim Tower side quest to kill the bandit chief for the Jarl before getting the “Find the Chimarvadium (sp?)” book quest from the Mage’s College, you can’t resolve the latter quest nor remove the book from inventory.
* The Boethia’s Champion quest does not resolve correctly
* The “Report Leifnarr’s death to his family” side quest does not resolve if you find his body before talking to his wife.

Don’t really know how to go about fixing this in game, but if i’m just missing something let me know
(for 360 btw)

How about letting us make dragon weapons
What’s the point of having the armor but no matching weapons
Or being able to make arrows
And I have an idea hopefully u think about it
Being able to open your own store the reason I say this is because
Opening a store would be a unending activitie
We would have to put our own items and which means gamers would get hooked even more
Reason being is they would want to Rome skyrim more to find items for there shop

“Long term play optimizations for memory and performance (PS3)”
So, must we understand that the PS3 version is forever effed? Because this doesn’t sound like a permanent fix at all, sounds more like 1.2 all over again (“Improved occasional performance issues resulting from long term play (PlayStation 3)”). We all know how well THAT turned out.
Bye bye Bethesda, I’m never buying your crap again. You have great concepts, but the execution is just too painful and completely sours the fun. I shouldn’t be waiting for you to patch a game so I can play it, OVER TWO MONTHS AFTER RELEASE!

I was REALLY hoping this patch would fix the end of the Thieves Guild quest line. For the vast majority of players, when you complete Darkness Returns, Karliah goes back to the place where you first met her. She NEVER returns to Nightingale Hall, the Hall itself NEVER gets upgraded with a portal to the Twilight Sepulcher, and Gallus’s Encoded Journal gets stuck in your inventory permanently. You are also unable to ever talk to Bryjolf again. This is a terribly annoying and extremely common glitch that really needs fixing as a top priority.

Ditto on the Markarth house-buying bug. I had already helped 4/5 citizens of Markarth once the Jarl told me I had to help 5 of them and own property to become Thane. For some reason, I didn’t buy the house from the steward right away when I had the option, instead opting to help that fifth citizen first. But after completing 5/5, I can’t even get a dialogue tree to open when I talk to the steward and therefore can’t buy the house. Please fix this, thanks!

Opening your own shop will be left as an exercise for modding folk. Let’s face it, earning gold in Skyrim is next to meaningless when you got all houses, all stuff at around level 50. There was an excellent player shop mod for Oblivion, and I guess we’ll see it around in Skyrim soon as well.
We’ll see “expensive Player houses” and more player houses as well.
Release the CK.
Let the modding commence. Concentrate on bugs after that. Additional features will be added by the modding com.

Two issues I found:
1) Aela, as wife, stops cooking meals after you exceed her ability to teach you more archery.
2) Lod’s dog doesn’t show up for meat for some users, but can be found by the cal-whatever guy at where the vampires are in the other quest. But he doesn’t speak – acts like you’ve already done the quest.
3) I did notice that PS3 performance gets worse (on 1.3) as your gametime increases. But if you recycle the game (save, quit and restart), the performance goes back to how it was.

For the people who are complaining about the bugs that haven’t been fixed, remember that Bethesda has made a great game, this game is giant and you have to expect some bugs, they’re in all of their games, but the bugs add a extra bit of charisma to the game — would morrowind be as fun without the soultrap glitch? Would oblivion be the same without the ability to duplicate? Just remember that Bethesda has made a awesome game here and they are also doing their best to fix any bugs, so rather than complaining, thank them for the ones they have fixed.

There are many miscellaneous quests that aren’t updated when you pick up quest items before you start the quest and therefore make them unable to complete. Some of these include:
Book quests for the College of Winterhold
Finely Cut Void Salts – If you say you will retrieve them instead of immediately turning them in, the void salts will disappear from your inventory and not reappear where you found them.

You must not play many games. I’ve not found a game that doesn’t have all kinds of problems at release in years.
If you don’t like bugs ruining your games, you better stop now. Between crappy developers and money hungry publishers, you’ll never be getting a bug free games.
Creating a game that works flawlessly across three completely different systems is no easy task. If you think it is, I encourage you to develop and publish a game for the 360, the pc and the PS3.
I will agree that it sucks having buggy releases but I’m so used to it now. Maybe I’m part of the problem of it happening on every release now. However, there are plenty of publishers who completely ruin games by rushing them out before they’re ready. So, if you’re going to boycott Bethesda, you better boycott most other publishers.

I thought I was bugged too when doing that quest, but apparently you can’t turn it in until you kill the people inside the fort itself, not just the prison. It is in the center of the fort with 2 torches marking it, and in my game all of the soldiers were standing in front of the entrance.

It’s good to see that Bethesda is working to fix issues in the game. I hope they don’t have a set time limit they plan on fixing bugs, and continue until they’re all squashed.

Hey this is cool and all but what about the screen fitting issues. Its a very wide spread problem. For those of you who don’t know: If you play Skyrim on a sdtv the text in the corners of the screen is cut. For instance, lets say you recive an item or go to a location. the first couple of letters in the text is cut off on the corners of the screen. While this doesn’t affect the gameplay drastically its still fairly annoying. And it can be easily fixed by simply adding in a screen fitting option or hud fitting option (you know where you move the arrows to the dimensions of the screen). So if bethesda acctually looks at these comments, it would be greatly appreciated if this issue could be addressed.

Any undocumented follower fixes in this one, by any chance? Namely:
* Followers don’t level correctly with the player (their actual level does increase, along with the reference value of stats, however the computed base never changes and the game uses this for all calculations).
* The stolen tag behavior when having a follower loot a container is inverted. If they loot a container which would normally be stealing for the PC, every item they grab will have the stolen tag cleared, but if they loot a container which would not be stealing for the player (including containers in player homes), every item they take will be marked stolen.

The 3 biggest (PS3) fixes for me outside of a hang requiring a hard boot which make me nervous every time I have to do it (if Skyrim becomes unplayable I’ll live, if my ps3 becomes unplayable consider compensation and GOTY for Skyrim a joke)
1) “Chance Arrangment” fixes Brynjolf never leaving the stand after the ring has been planted = elimination of the Thieves Guild and related quests from the game.
2) Lost Housecarl. Set them to die or go home after x number of days or when I try to pick up a new follower allow me to do so and dismiss the current follower. Otherwise the follower feature has been eliminated from the game.
3) Inserting the Skyrim disk and never moving beyond a black screen = eliminates Skyrim as a game
For the last one I actually got to the point where I ran a restore on my PS3 thinking I would have a clean install of Skyrim with no issues … however for new games either (1) there is no dialog for the opening scene and when the carriage reaches its destination you cannot leave the carriage or (2) you can get as far as following one of the two characters at beginning but neither cuts your bound hands and you can not continue. If this isn’t fixed = 3 months into the game I can never play Skyrim again.

That my friend, is the ENTIRE idea of mods. Bethesda will be fixing things that are wrong with the game and adding more through the DLC later on.
The modding community, and the Creation Kit, which is the major feature of the patch, are focused entirely on allowing exactly what you are interested in and what make the PC version of these Bethesda games greatly superior to the console versions.

Jeez – SOPA is tanking, all but dead in the water and people / websites are acting like its “the thing”. Shutup Skyrim Nexus, with your sill paranoia and over-reacting about EVERYTHING – pathetic indeed. Its sites like that that let us all know how bad the internet would be if censorship actually happened…
On anather note – thanks (Beth) for finally breaking the silence on what this patch will entail. I wish I read “Fixed crashes (to desktop) related to transitions, large save files and long game plays – existing saves will be safe…”. I didn’t see anything like that here so I guess it’s going to be test and see. Hopefully we (PC) players who had to stop playing because of the rampant CTD’s will see a fix here – otherwise it’s back to screaming and shouting about it…

For real. I can’t even complete the main quest line on the Xbox 360 version! It’s not like this is a “rare” glitch. If you Google the glitch, you’ll notice that it’s happened to a number of people, and has been posted in quite a few forums/blogs. I’d feel much better if Bethesda at least acknowledged that it exists.

I have three main issues on the PC.
The first and biggest, ANYTHING I give to any of my companions; whether it is directly, asked them to pick it up, or take it out of a chest; get flagged as ‘Stolen’ when I take it back. I have tried multiple companions.
Second, The Investigate the Bard College quests; I have Erin’s Lute I cannot get rid of because I found it before being assigned the quest. So now the woman won’t take it. It is the same with Pantea’s Flute which I see will be fixed. The the main quest the person I’m suppose to talk to after the burning of the king is sitting in the lobby eating bread and holding a torch with an arrow over his head but he won’t talk to me.
Third, I cannot complete the ‘Clear Rift WatchTower’ quest in Riften (Kill the bandit leader in the Rift WatchTower) because I have already cleared the Rift WatchTower. When I go to the tower there are three bandits but no leader and no arrow pointing to one. When Clairvoyance is used it says I do not have an active quest even though it is selected. Therefore I can not be assigned any more work so therefore I cannot become Thane or buy house in Riften.
Other problems, the sound for when I have the spell Frostbite selected and readied plays at all times. No matter what spell or weapon I have readied or not readied.

I agree on some level. However, I purchased a product (PS3 version) that simply will not work at all with a save file of ~13mb. That’s not “buggy”, that’s a defective product, and in any other facet of our market I would demand (and likely receive) a full refund to purchase a completely different product. Furthermore, Bethesda is clearly focusing on pleasing PC gamers while not tangibly addressing the fact that their PS3 version is virtually unplayable past a point. On that note, I realized my horribly huge mistake of not getting the PC version, and will “obtain” it in the future

Hiya. I have this follower-bug with Farkas which I’d like to explain so it might get fixed in a patch, but first of all, some thanks and praise —
thank you for creating such an incredible game!
I’ve always been a fan of your games — actually, I think Bethesda was one of the very first game companies I liked, and more or less became a fan of. There are many companies that make open world games, but your games and the overall vibe I get from you is that you “want” to make huge, large (In all the senses of the words. :p) games — and that’s my absolute favorite part of games and gaming (The gameworld, that is.) — so, to me, it’s much more than an element in a game full of elements, or a prop, it’s something I’m genuinely interested in.
When I first heard that Skyrim would “only” be 16 sq/miles, or be as large (Or smaller in sq/mi.) as its predecessor, Oblivion, I felt sort of disappointed. My expectations were quite low, which was a first for a TES game, and I’m usually excited when I hear about an open world game just in general.
But I bought it regardless, and … wow! Compared to other fully explorable open world games like Two Worlds 1 & 2, Grand Theft Auto 3 and up, Saints Row, Red Faction, Fallout, Oblivion, The actual overworlds in sq/miles is quite normal, but the content.. wow! There’s so extremely much packed into this game that it’s probably the biggest game in history so far. And all the content is usually great (Some is jaw dropping, some is mediocre, but all in all it’s fantastic.) — the world rarely feels drab or boring or repetitive, which is quite remarkable actually.
And if you want to do everything, you will obviously spend many, many hours in Skyrim — FAAAR more hours than *a LOT of other games*. The entertainment value per $ when compared to a ‘regular’ game is extreme. One of my new alltime favorite games.
And, Bethesda might even bring MORE content through DLC’s! I really, really hope that the DLC is a new world/island/large zone or area with newly designed dungeons and themes in dungeons, etc. It’s already considered one of the best games of all time by A LOT of people, but with a quality DLC like that, it’ll probably go straight to first place.
But back to the issue with the bug… (Spoilers!)
So, I had recently finished the Companions quests and cured Kodlad Whitemane I think. I also think that Aela the Huntress was my follower at that point. I also recently got married.
I ran into Farkas in the forest, very close to Riften town, and he offered me the “Dragon Seekers” quest. I had just finished ‘Animal Extermination’ (Clear out Bleakcost Cove. Return to Aela. Those are the objectives for that quest.) for Aela the Huntress, but I hadn’t turned the quest in yet.
Not sure if the Dragon Seekers location is random, but the objective for me (And Farkas.) was to kill a Dragon at Shearpoint. So, I accepted, and he became my new follower, which auto kicked Aela (I think she was my follower at that time.). So, either right then and there or later we went to Shearpoint, but there was no Dragon. I’m quite sure I had killed a dragon there earlier on in the game and used the word wall, but the word wall at Shearpoint still made that chanting noise it makes whenever you’re close to an unused one. I tried to run into it, but nothing happened.
Then I tried to turn the Animal Extermination quest in to Aela (She’s at Jorrvaskr now.), but her only chat option was “Follow me.”, to which she said “You already have a follower, etc.”. (Farkas says the same or a similar thing.)
I must have visitted Shearpoint 30-40 times since then, and I’ve visitted Aela many times, I’ve tried to kill her but Farkas still says the same thing (Farkas can’t be killed.), I’ve cleared out the Animal Extermination quest cave a second time (Clear out Bleakcoast Cave.) despite the fact that the quest log has tagged the *Clear out Bleakcoast C ave, as in the quest log says that part is complete.
I’ve done several quests that give you a new companion (Or companions.), but Farkas always returns. It seems like some dungeon quests only allow me and the quest related follower to enter the dungeon, but when I fast travel somewhere, Farkas comes back.
I’ve killed a lot of dragons around Shearpoint, and all over Skyrim, but that doesn’t seem to have any effects except making him slightly chattier. I tried to talk to people with the Amulet of Mara and Bond of Matrimony (SP?) ON or off, and with either on or off, I killed my wife in her house in Whiterun, but nope. The marriage chat options hasn’t appeared since the marriage by the way.
I play on Xbox 360.

Why are you talking about Bethesda as if they aren’t a huge corporation? Why are you forgetting that creating QUALITY games is literally what these guys are paid to do? Why are you forgetting that the game costs 60 freaking smackaroonies?
I never understand it when consumers try to defend large corporations. When you start taking their side you let them step all over the market. It’s not your well being or satisfaction that they’re after, it’s your continued business and money they’re after. As long as they do a good job and keep up appearances they’ll get our money. If they release a shoddy broken product and expect top dollar for it they need to be criticized.

im stuck with the stupid “CHIMARVAMIDIUM” book b/c i got it before i got the quest to find it and now even after starting the quest to find it, the quest marker leads me to the cave of witches i cleared for kodlak in the companions guild and an empty chest. i cant put the book back in the chest as its a quest item, i cant drop it, sell it, or have the guards take it if arrested. have tried waiting over 2 months in-game time! and the cave does not reset, witches do not re-spawn, and chest does not refill with another copy of the book or anything else for that matter. also the damn “AMULET OF TALOS” is the same problem, except I have 4 of them before I realized it was bugged. I think it’s the quest for the Jarl of Solitude to take it to Torryg’s grave, and I did, and now I am stuck with my own personal Amulet of Talos and 3 others I picked up to sell before realizing it was bugged. Please fix these Bethesda along with the other bugs with Inventory items/picking up a quest item without having first received the corresponding quest and then the quest braking and items becoming permanently stuck. if the system can work for the Dragonstone of Bleak Falls Barrow, then you can implement it for the rest of the quest related items. If you get the Dragonstone from Bleak Falls Barrow before being sent there to retrieve it by Farengar Secret-Fire and Jarl Balgruuf then its fine. He assigns you the quest to get it, and immediately the speech option “You mean this Dragonstone of Bleak Falls Barrow?” pops up and he takes it and the quest completes. That is how it should work for the non-main quest items. you pick up an item that is used in some quest that you dont have yet and the quest pops up saying “Started ___” then “Completed: Find the ___” and then gived you your next objective. If you can’t do it then hire me and I will do it for you guys. Thanks Bethesda crew, love your work, keep up all the great work and please make this a priority!

Unfortunately, you are part of the problem. The consumer base is what regulates quality control. By growing complacent with the dwindling quality of a product you are allowing its increased deterioration.
Difficulty of the task doesn’t matter when you’re expected to pay money for something. Would you be okay with paying full price for a car mechanic that was unable to completely repair your car because it was a very hard thing to fix? Would it be alright if the food you paid for at a restaurant was left partially uncooked because trying to cook lots of meals at once and getting everyone’s order right is hard?

I would love to see this fixed as well. No real experience with stolen tags but it definitely feels crippling when you’re at a high level and your follower is being KO’d by the weaker enemies of the dungeons. Having to wait until higher levels to recruit desired followers to have them at a decent strength strength (tested on PS3 and seems to work) is really annoying and a fix would be awesome.
Glad to see other big problems being fixed though. Especially with the higher number of PS3 issues. Bethesda seems to be trying to fix this stuff for us, which is great. As long as they keep making games that are actually worth the money in content and provide support for them, they’ll always have me as a customer.

Definitely agree with the Dragon weapons concept.
As far as the store idea, what if your spouse could run the store? As in maybe changing the current store concept (100g per day) to giving your spouse what you want sold and gaining profit based on what sells? You could even include a small stall for them to sell from and possibly even add in sales interactions and dialogue with the townspeople to see it in action. This would also make non-follower spouses a lot more appealing since it makes up for not being able to take them along.

Thanks Bethesda. Looking forward to downloading 1.4 patch. I’ve never really had any game breaking glitches aside from a crash here and there from extended hours of play and the rare instance of a wall missing or clipping issues of NPC’s, but so far I’m enjoying the game immensely. I’m not a hardcore gamer and to be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Zelda games are the only titles that will get me to spend money on a videogame. It’s very rare I put hundreds of hours or more into a video game as I find a lot of the titles out there are stale and uninteresting and don’t keep my attention. So thank you for making this game as diverse in gameplay and innovative in visuals. Looking forward to more fixes before you guys break the news on DLC.

Aela the huntress is nowhere to be found, she can’t be found at Jorrvaskr or at any giant’s camps or anywhere (bleakwind basin I believe). Its either the first or second quest in the companion’s questline and its to return Aela’s repaired shield back to her but she is nowhere to be found, when I put a marker on the map to where she should be and check it out at Bleakwind Basin she is not there. I’ve been carrying around Aela’s shield in my inventory for over a month or two. PLEASE FIX THIS. I have sent you guys a letter about this and commented on several blog posts about it and complained on forums as well.

That’s a pretty illogical remark. Marid isn’t taking people’s money for a half-finished product, let alone claiming to be a professional game developer.
There’s also a difference between ‘some bugs and glitches’ and ‘completely broken’ – the PS3 is very much the latter. The reason *why* they made mistakes is also totally irrelevant – if your product doesn’t work, don’t sell it.

I’m not one to attack town guards, but I generally walk rather than fast travel (love me some alchemy), and the countryside is literally covered in low-grade weapons from all the bandits I’ve slain on my travels.
The stupid thing is, the Stormcloaks in the intro sequence ‘hold’ their weapons when they die, and thus are ‘cleaned up’ properly. Why can’t all NPCs behave this way? I bet it’d shave a good chunk off save files and prevent a few bugs / annoyances.

It’s not a bug, it’s the way that the physics engine reacts to the amount of damage that giants cause to low level characters, they are all level 30, once you are a significantly higher level that stops happening…

I have a bug in the main questline: When I am supposed to be locating information about the Elder Scroll, I am told to go to the Arcaneum and talk to the orc. But he has no relevant dialogue options. Others have had this issue too:

I was the archmage, but I think the cause was that I had already found Septimus’s Outpost and initiated the quest Transcribing the Transmundane.

Unfortunately there are bugs in past editors that have so far not been fixed which may make the creation kit pointless if they are still in the creation today. AI movement is vital for a vast majority of mods that will be made for skyrim and thats the bug, thats whats wrong.
So the editor may not be very useful at all.

I agree with you in some ways such as the UI and guilds but lets not confuse dumping down with a modernisation of older features. In many ways Skyrim represents a leap forward in design, but a step backwards in other ways such as horse riding.
Swings and round abouts basically. Though some mistakes should never have been made by a team as experienced as Beth, other more advanced features could not have been made except by Beth.

There are a lot of quest items you cannot remove that stay in the inventory for no good reason. Like certain bloodied skulls and those unusual gems which you need to find 24 of, at 0.5 weight. Its not worth carrying them around for that long on the off chance you may find them all.

Great list of fixes.
I hope next time the treasure maps are fixed to where the chests will show up, and that quest items that are no longer needed can be removed from your inventory. I have all of the items from the bards questline still in my inventory, and the investigate bards college misc item marker is still active way after finishing it.

please fix Alduin’s Wall so Delphine will help me proceed…this is keeping me from gaining the “clear skies” shout in addition to bricking my main quest…hope you guys at least look out for me on the 1.5 bc this is ridiculous…at this rate, i might just throw in the towel with you guys…i always get the short end of the stick with you guys :/

And everyone who’s emotionally unstable to the point of boycotting Bethesda, or complaining like my little sister because of some bugs… if it bothers you that much, either don’t buy games until they’ve been out 3 months, or put Skyrim away until it’s all patched.
Yes, you “shouldn’t have” to wait three months to play a game, but boycotting them instead of reasonably playing a game in February instead of November is needlessly passing up great games.

Bethesda, have you fixed the system lock-up issue (and occasional related BSODs) in the PC version of the game? In open areas, game would saometimers freeze (frozen image, unresponsive computer – NVIDIA cards; screen goes black, unresponsive computer – ATI(AMD) cards). When this occurs, the only option is to hard reset the computer, which can harm the operating system (rare occasion, but possible)!
As far as I can tell, video drivers go unresponsive, and since it has been determined to happen on Windows XP/Vista/7, both 32 and 64-bit versions, and on both – NVIDIA and ATI(AMD) cards, the issue must be in the game code. There are no similar issues in any other games whatsoever – not even Oblivion or Fallouts (older version of Gamebryo).

We have 120+ pages forum thread dedicated to this problem on Nexus Forums (can’t find the link now, I’m not na frequent visitor), and we are eagerly awaiting an official reply on this gamebreaking and potentially harmful for the OS issue.

Fixing game/quest ending bugs is great and needed. But what about persistent bugs? For instance, followers not leveling with you, followers not using bows given to them, followers not choosing items related to their skills (Lydia always will use any two-handed weapon, even iron, over a legendary ebony sword even though her skills are in one-handed, heavy armor, block, and archery).
Also, will it be possible to start Blood on the Ice after finishing the Imperial Civil War after 1.4? My main character (167 hours+) is saved immediately after the conclusion of the civil war in Windhelm. There is no Windhelm Guard to give me the quest.

Are there plans to fix the following console bug?
Thieves Guild Bug (XBOX360)(PS3): In Darkness Returns, you speak to Nocturnal. Once she is finished she descends into the Ebonmere and Karliah is supposed to speak to you. But Karliah never shows up and the quest marker remains over Nocturnals head (actually inside the Ebonmere). Going back to previous saves, reloading the area, none of these fix the problem. The rest of the Thieves Guild progression is then permanently broken.

Some bugs are not mentioned but are in need of fix:
Quest “Release Torvald from Thalmor custody”, where the peacefulway to do it doesn’t trigger.
Weapon damage not shown properly in inventory if you have perk that increase your damage with said weapon. It’s complicated to explain, but people will know what I mean…
It’s not a bug but the top perk for single handed style is utter crap as backward criticals are not intuitive and usually puts you out of range of your target, especially when said target is a mage and backpedalling all the time. They should have made it a lower % chance to stun with forward critical.

So nothing on the ONE real bug? The save game size/bloat bug? The one where if your save game gets t o18+ megs at some point the game becomes unplayable because huge numbers for cells will cause a CTD when you enter them?
I’m sure there MUST be a little script/program you can run to remove all the bloat fro the save files (like the millions of dropped weapons etc) and even perform a sanity check, getting it back to a manageable state. I.e. even clearing out ALL dead and dead dropped items, all nirnroot gows, ash piles etc.Just leave then use modified objects and quests in place but reset everything else that has not real quest value.

You can leave the restoration glitch and armor/weapon upgrades past legendary, in the game. I like being able to kill anything that moves without taking damage some times. Then slip on some normal armor and weapons when I want a challenge. This isn’t a pvp game so what does it matter if somebody utilizes the glitches. Or, if the whiners complain too much, have a quest, or series of quests to get god-like weapons and armor. BTW, I’ve logged in over 200 hours in this game between two characters, Great Game!!

On my xbox, my home in solitude, as u go straight in from the basement door and head to the mannequin, the one are your right I put on all ebony armor except on the head because I did not have a ebony helmet so I put on a steel plate helmet instead. When I got my ebony helmet I put it on the mannequin and removed the steel plate helmet, I left my house and returned to find the steel helmet back on his head and the ebony helmet was still in the inventory but a new plate helmet was there and equipped so I put the ebony back on and took the steel plate helmet and history repeated itself so it keeps making copies of that helmet. Though I get good money for selling the helmets I still would like to make a complete ebony set, I did not test my other mannequin which has all glass armor.
P.s. I think it would be cool to put weapons on them to, just an idea. And also I noticed the wall behind the mannequin on the right was glitching too thank you

fire fox 9. works fine on ALL nexus, images sometimes slow because of heavy traffic is all.
some mods are better and last longer then some/most DLC and having player input could be the way forward for games.
i mean fo3/fnv could of gone futher with realism and story ect. but now we got lush skyrim
SR already looks dapper with all the retexes and realism tweaks.
i own skyrim but have not played yet believe it or not, just installed for the intro and player selection to see what it is like
and the 1.26GB of mods and tweaks i have from Nexus will make the experience personal.
As for the creation kit (can’t wait) that is what makes a game memorable because you can add your own bits to extend game play and improve where you think necessary.
How many people played FNV/FO3 ect. 60 hours a playthru then with mods did it two or three different times changing difficulty and the directions you chose to go to get a better story or just play the good or bad guy for a change.
openworld games rule in favour of personal choice
and that makes each experience different

God this shows how AWESOME Bethesda is. In reality, most companies are like “Well there are glitches and bugs, but people still play the game, so screw it” however, Bethesda cares so much about their community. Is Skyrim primarily a console game, yes, but that doesn’t mean Bethesda doesn’t care about the PC community. They care so much that they are releasing beta updates, to make sure everything is good, all the updates are good and don’t make any bugs (backwards dragon lol), and to make sure PC users are ok with everything. They are even working with Valve, who are PC primarily, even though TESV is a console port (or i was told). Bethesda, you are the best gaming company next to Valve in my opinion! Keep it up!

Did you install any mods, or textures? Also it could be RAM problem. Even tho Skyrim supports 4gb ram now windows sometimes does not. Try this(if You running XP) :
Edit Boot.ini and add this line under [operating systems]:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Your windows name 3GB” /3GB /fastdetect /usepmtimer /NoExecute=OptOut
You could suffer some longer boot ups if you are running too many programs on startup. But to me this fixes the missing texture problem and CTD’s.

So thats good news for you mate. I doubt your old character will be rescued though, these kind of fixes rarely help older saves.

Fix main quest glitch for god’s sake, I’ve been complaining about this everywhere i could and I don’t get any feedback about it.
I’m stuck in “the horn of jurgen windcaller” because wulfgar won’t teach me the last word of the shout needed to go onto the top of the hill eventhough I brougth back the horn. I think the main problem is that Arngeir is still outside. Some are talking about closing and reopening the gate but it doesn’t work for me.
I’ve put 120 hours into my character, doing sidequest and stuff to level up and enjoying the game before really going into the main story. I’m glad that you’re fixing bugs, but little glitches about meaningless sidequest shouldn’t be as important as that.
Also, it seems that my post aren’t showed, am I censored for some reasons because im stating facts?
Please, give me some feedback about that, I know I’m not the only one with that huge problem out there.

I’m just wanting for a patch balance (maybe 1.5 I hope) to come back to the game. Why don’t balance? This don’t make any sense. People who like to play the imbalanced way can always use the console and cheats. Balance the game! and give the fun back to those who like to play a fair game.

I am wondering if the patch will fix the issue of becoming thane of Falkreath, since it is addressing The Rift. Due to dragon attacks the farmer (Mathies) and the priest (Runil)are dead. Which limits the ashes and farming quest. Due to the Dark Brother hood quest line you can’t sell firewood. Bounty and other miscellaneous don’t post as helping the people. Many people are stuck at 2/3 because of quests not posting. Thanks for information.

Contact me at the Engineering guild Eric if you continue to have problems mate. In the mean time watch those repeatable quests, make sure you finish the ones you start, never use console cheats to advance them because you may skip vital code that stops certain scripts writing to your saved games etc. Repeatable quests are VERY sensative towards that sort of thing, bad news for you basically. So let them run, make sure you finish them, never cheat with them and you will be fine most of the time.

Yes, revert to an earlier save, but do so after 1.4 is released and the fixes are in place and you may just get away with it and get your character back.

Also, my glitch is the Blood’s Honor glitch (I went through Driftshade before joining companions). I’m now stuck as a werewolf. Will I have to reload to a save BEFORE all of this? Or will this let me finally begin the quest? All of the NPC’s at The Companions are stuck right after they got raided and the blacksmith hasn’t gone back to his house (so i can’t use him either). Basically, will Vilkas finally start this quest just the way I am? otherwise I have to go back like, over ten levels… and way more hours than that!

I dont understand Alduin, the whole Prophecy of him being Eater of the World and him being this big bad POWERFUL Dragon, is a Joke.
Im at Level 64 and all i did was use Dragonrend to bring him down, then hacked and slashed him with my Health absorbing Sword. Whats the point with Shouts that has Cooldowns but you anyway beat him with a punch.
All the Dragons Rawr instead of Shout and they run after Goats and Chickens, then dance around on the ground until a Bear takes it down.
If you want to add a Dragon in the Game, then give us a Challenge, i mean the Giants are doing a better Job then these so called bad boys.
All i have to do is stand in the distance while whaling a Dragon with an Arrow and then its dead, shouldent it have a Harder Skin.
I mean, if a Draugr can shout me into the floor, then what the heck is a Dragon for.
Make Alduin use its Power on the player, let those Dragons Move faster and quicker.
Delete the Cooldowns once the Player got All the Shouts and why am i still collecting Souls if i got All the Shouts anyway.

When I first bought my PS3, the first game I got was Oblivion. Was I ever impressed with that game. I remember thinking finally a game that kicks it hard. I was so impressed that a quality game would last so long and give me my money’s worth in experience and game play/lenght. I quickly realised after that that Oblivion was not the industry norm. that most 50 dollar game would still just last a week or so to beat.
then comes fallout, with all its crases, freezes and intrupted quests… but still ok, worth restarting the console every 5 or 6 hours… new vegas well that was restarting the console sometimes 3 or 4 times every hour and ended up costing me a new PS3 since I got the red light of death from that game ruining my console… now tell me bethesda peeps, will this patch restore my faith in your company or do you actualy believe I will let your product wreck another console? Get it togeter please. If you can’t thats fine, just give me a inventory return code and take your product back.

No idea if any of these bugs have been mentioned, but I’ll just mention them here for whatever it’s worth:
Two enchantment perk bugs:
1) If your shield has two enchantments and you switch to a bow or other two handed weapon. Then switch to a one handed weapon which will automatically equip the shield. Neither of the two enchantments on your shield will become active. You have to unequip and then reequip the shield for the game to recognize the enchantments.
2) I made a ring and and an amulet each with the same two enchantments: Resist Magic and Fortify Carry Weight. In the Active Effects screen it shows all four enchantment under the name of the ring. Instead of two under the ring and two under the amulet.

Great game. A little disappointed that the bug in one of the main queslines, Liberation of Skyrim-Battle for Fort Hraggstad, was not fixed. For me its been unfinished for 30 levels because no enemy troops will spawn. Seems to be relatively common problem and I have tried all recommended work arounds. I save it before accepting quest and try, and if no luck reload and try again or wait in game weeks and repeat. Its the only thing my main has outstanding and would be nice to complete. I’m hoping that any future DLC does not require completing this quest line, cause I would be SOL
Great game overall though gave me 300+ quality gaming hours. Thanks Guys

Unfortunately none of the quest bugs I personally came across will be fixed in this update (360 version). Here are some of them:
1) Can’t complete The Forsworn Conspiracy because neither of the two guards in the room with Eltrys’ body will advance the quest. The third guard just talks about joining the legion in Solitude.
2) I came across a book (Arcana Restored) as loot in the Forsaken Cave during the White Phial side quest. This book can’t be dropped because it’s a quest item and I found out that if you come across this book first before you come across the quest to find it, the quest can’t be completed.
3) Gallus’s Encoded Journal can’t be dropped even after doing all Thieves Guild missions.
4) Random people in Whiterun have disappeared in my game over time for no reason. Eorlund Gray-Mane for example.
5) In the thieves guild quest “The Pursuit”, the optional objective of avoiding combat with Vald can’t be completed because Vex never offers the dialog choice about Vald.

I dont know if this patch will fix the multitude of spastic glitches that have quite frankly utterly ruined my gaming experience. For example: the Kajit traders that travel between cities have utterly vanished, their tents etc still migrate but they’re nowhere to be found. Also outside one of the towns the NPC who you can sell the Black Briar’s horse to was killed, then decided to respawn twice next to itself – only one version was waist deep in the floor?! Yeah wtf, finaly the silver hand attacked the companions as per the quest line i presume, yet no-one seems capable of moving on from it, all involved NPCs seem stuck in a loop thus ruining any further companion quests and thoroughly screwing up whiterun for me. Cheers for listening, hopefully you’ll invest in a very much more intence and thorough bug test before releasing anymore games. Ps3 btw so no i havent downloaded a dodgy mod made some some halfwit. Come to think of it my troubles started shortly after a manditory update from you guys – nice one!

May be, may be not, the last few editors have been so bugged as to make many mods people made for oblivion impossible in fallout without serious issues and lenghy workarounds.

How about a patch where-by you remove the need for Steam so that people who have bought a legal dvd from a retail shop can actually install and play the game without needing Steam. this would probably be the the number one most welcome patch.
The box states you need net conection ONLY to activate skyrim, this is untrue, you also need to have Steam and have it download the .exe in order to run and it also will download the whole damn game from Steam too if you let it!! However you only find this out AFTER you have opened the box and clicked on ‘I accept’ junk.
B.T.W. I installed Steam, installed Skyrim, REMOVED Steam from my system (I have no wish to have Steam and their crappy ‘achievements’) and got the non-Steam .exe from the net via a friend.
This is nothing more than a joke, I may as well just got a pirated version than spending £50 on this shiney coaster from Beth….

There Is one that a lot of people need fixing. They sold their thieves guild armor and can’t get the achievement , maybe throw some armor in the guilds chests ? Just like the Brotherhood . Also Ebern from the Night blades quests aren’t working after you kill a dragon from exploring. These quest aren’t locatable either : Locate the Quill of Gemination under Lake Honrich , Bring some Frost Salts to Dravyne , Clear Red Belly Mind of Spiders , Bring one Amulet of Arkay to Torbjorn .
Quest that are not working for me : Kill the dragon in lost Tongue Overlook, bring a scale and dragon bone to ESBERN , collect bounty from Brina Merilis,Vist college of Winterhold,Arniels Endeavor. Repairing the Phial.
Oh and a question after you beat the main quest are there still supposed to be dragons everywhere ?

You probably redefined the key used to access that menu. It normally is the escape key.
I did that and had the same problem until I deleted (renamed actually) the Controlmap_custom file. This set the controls back to their default keys.

Skyrim is my first game from your studio. I bought it for my PS3 because my laptop probably can’t play it. I have been amazed, your game is fantastic! There is a lot of stuff to improve upon (follower AI, menu organization, impact on the world after major event, breaking quests, …) but at the same time you got so many things right and in the end, it’s a blast to play and it is what a gamer want from a game.
Now, please make sure you fix the issues with the PS3 version of this game. It is the first time in my life I ever experienced so many crashes on a console game. This does not invalidate that your game is really fun, but if you guys don’t manage to fix the PS3 version, I will not bother buying your next games. Take care of your players and they will take care of you.
Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I had playing Skyrim, good luck with the fixes.

As Veelon said Morrowind and Oblivion had great mods with their ‘Kits’ FO3(NV not so much) had some huge overhaul mods that used almost every facet of the GECK and FO3Edit. Scripts, Quests, NavMesh everything that needed to be modded to achieve something like FOOK2, MMM, WMK was achievable with the GECK. If you check how many thousands of working Mods where created with the GECK for FO3 is seems odd to read that it was somewhat unusable. I was allowed to see the internal threads for FOOK2 development and I cannot recal any major complaints of what could or could not be done?.
Just a minor modders opinion and observation, not after a debate on the issue, if I can do as much with the new CK as was possible with the GECK that will be fine by me.

•Long term play optimizations for memory and performance (PS3)
Is the FPS lag on PS3 fixed completely? “Optimizations,” is not exactly encouraging. That’s what 1.2 listed as one of the fixes.
Please give a straight answer. I’m tired of the PR one-liners and the vague semantics. I asked @BGS_Devs via Twitter, but I got no response.
If not, then I feel like I have no choice left but to return my copy of the game. I will not wait another 2 months for a 1.5 patch. Thank you.

Every few days I go to the witches’ cave, save before going in, and then complete Blood’s Honor to see if Purity of Revenge will start, but it never does, and so I just reload the pre-witches’ cave save and keep playing, hoping it will work eventually. I have the retrieve the helm misc. objective active, but I have not even been to Driftshade yet, so I don’t know what the problem is. (xbox version)

Will these “bug fixes” also be updating for xbox? I played one character on Skyrim and decided I liked it so much that I would create another character because some gliches wouldnt allow me to get the last few achievements. So, I started playing another character and was careful to not do the same things that caused a few quest to be incomplete. But I didn’t stop to think about what other problems may be involved. Doing the Companions quest line and trying to gain the quest “Purity of Revenge”. Of course I didnt know you werent suppose to finish the misc. quest to return the helm of whiterun. so now, on my 2nd character I’m stuck once again
Is there anything I can do for Vikas to give me the Purity of Revenge quest? Or any updates coming for xbox to fix this. I don’t want to start a 3rd character just yet. I’d like to continuing playing this one so I can get my achievements. Thank you so much for all of the other fixes and updates
And also for such a wonderful game to play

One feature of the dragon that Bethesda didn’t put in is the “grabbing”. If the dragon can swoop down in high speed and grab you then throw you from high altitude, you can die instantly by falling damage. This will certainly make the dragon very hard to kill. Perhaps because of that they didn’t give this feature to the dragon.

I’ve been playing for about 150 hours and I’m getting really annoyed that items that were looted from dead bodies and TAKEN (not stolen) are now labeled in my inventory as “STOLEN” and I can’t sell them unless I join the thieves guild.
This apparently is a commonly-reported bug yet it’s not listed as one of the fixes for 1.4? Really?? You fixed the invisible armor on the mannequins (of which there are only a FEW in the game) but you won’t fix the “stolen” tags which seem to pop up more or less randomly on items that I ask my follower to pick up?

Pleaae, Please tell me that “Fixed instance where Tonilia would stop buying stolen items and also would not give Guild Leader Armor” refers to the problem I have and alot of other people have, in which I sold my thieves guild armor early on because I had way better armor at the time. Then when you get the quest to turn in one piece to Tonilia to upgrade it, your stuck. Can’t ever use her as a fence again, and can’t complete the rest of the Thieves Guild quests. Obviously the armor should have been marked as a quest item to avoid this whole ordeal. Would greatly appreciate an update on whether or not you will be addressing that problem and if so, when that would be. Thanks

Also, forgot to mention I play on the Xbox 360 so the console commands are no good to me, and I’m hoping that you’ll fix the issue so that it doesnt happen to any new characters, but am also desperately hoping you will offer some way to get past this issue for our existing characters. I really really dont want to start the whole game over again just to avoid this glitch. Maybe another dialogue option with Tonilia when you click on ” I don’t have any of my old armor”. One that would allow us to move past this glitch and continue on regularly with the thieves guild questline.

as fan of your games i would have ask you two little question
why skyrim has not the same graphism and details than in the previous oblivion please could you to do an update or a dlc soon for increase the graphism ?

for the mens it is same
the difference are the texture of the skin, the light, the foot in more without toes in skyrim… , the hair, the hands and few other details
skyrim is incredible in the side gameplay with skills extraordinary ,the dragon are amazing , weapon like real and all is amazing in the exeption of the character graphism lot of fan like me believe in you Bethesda and i am sure you could give us best graphism or in less the same than elder scrolls IV in a little update or dlc thanks if you read this and good continuation

Please Bethesda, improve NPCs’ reactions and dragons’ behaviour and feedback. For example, why a stranger can enter freely the jarl’s room during the day and rob whatever isn’t nailed down without any reaction from NPCs? For the dragon, give them a dismay shout to prevent them being mobbed by a bunch of city guards, make animals non hostile to them and give them a 50% chance to pick up a giant when they attack. It’s always a pain to see a dragon killed like a simple wyvern. There are so many and simple ways to improve them that it’s a shame, in my opinion, to leave this work to the modders.

Great that Bethesda is continuing to improve the game. It really is a great and complicated piece of work. I am looking forward to upcoming DLC packs as well.
However, I did not see in this list of bug fixes any correction for the Nazir bug during the “Whispers In The Dark” quest. On Xbox 360 I am currently unable to progress further in the Dark Brotherhood quest line because I cannot get Nazir to give me any new contracts. I’ve completed all the previous contracts and got through the whole hiding inside the coffin sequence, but am stuck on Nazir not triggering the new contracts. Any fix for this?

lol, I had this too, and it was quite funny when I saw the Louis had spawned two clones of himself. Thing is, he’s stopped at two. I guess his power of self-propogation run out. Then he asked if he could rob some armour I dropped because I was overencumbered. I said he could, and it stayed there.
On another note, while overencumbered I hired the Whiterun carraige driver to take me to Winterhold. I payed, and took a seat in the back. Never went anywhere. I got out and dropped enough stuff to not be overencumbered and the facking carraige still wouldn’t move. I was stuck in an immobile Norse-drawn carraige with the idiot driver asking if I was ready to go. WTF?

I don’t know if it’s a bug or what, but on my last two new games I’ve retrieved the dragonstone from Bleak Falls Barrow before going to Whiterun. I immediately turn the stone over to Farengar when prompted with the quest. Then head straight out to complete Dragon Rising. When I’m appointed Thane of Whiterun and given Lydia she never appears. I’ve tried consoling her to my location and myself to her’s, but I just get this message. Item ‘000a2c94′ not found for parameter ObjectReferenceID. Compiled script not saved!

I have an issue in Markarth where all the Stormcloak guards are attempting to arrest me on site for what they say is murder, etc…I have no clue what I did. They will not accept a payoff, or anything…they want me to go to jail. This is when I enter the Understone Keep. I’ve tried getting out of it, fighting them, etc…but to no avail. Is this a bug, or what? Should I just load a previous save and just try to retrace my steps?

I’m curious, will the guard fix for ‘no one escapes Cidhna Mine’ also fix the issue with the guards in the city not resetting after completing the quest? I am currently unable to access Markarth. Since completing the quest, the guards are hostile, and I cannot clear bounty. They are stuck in the ‘no one escapes’ loop. Thanks

Wow, great update. Will the Rjorn’s Drum also be fixed like Pantea’s flute? There are a few things that stick in the Miscellaneous section too (all documented on UESP.net). The Markarth quest No Escape From Cidna Mine takes quest items out of your inventory but does not replace them. While this update will fix some of those (Pantea’s flute) I don’t see on the list fixes for the problems for others like Rjorn’s Drum and Arondil’s Journals (Vekel won’t complete if you find them before finding Vekel, like I did). Other quest items are targeted for high-level skill quests (Kazoven (sp) Fang)… so completing No Escape From Cidna Mine ends the ability to finish several quests with its bug.

Well, not everyone cares about the CK. I decidedly don’t want to use CK content, because I like to play a game as it was meant to be. Any mods are basically “use at your own discretion; may break or imbalance the game”. As for aesthetic mods, don’t really care. I’m not into Skyrim to play dress-up or whatever.
I’m sure a lot of people will love it and buy the PC version just for that; I’m just saying that not everyone is “salivating” over it by any means. To be fair, I have other reasons for going with the Xbox over PC for entertainment anyway, which wouldn’t apply to everyone.

Apologies if this is a double post.
Any plan to address the Battle for Whiterun glitch that has become a game ending glitch for me? As a storm cloak, after the battle is over I cannot trigger the dialogue when I return to Ulfric and the old Jarl of Whiterun will not leave Dragonsreach. In addition the battle music never stops playing no matter what I am doing and the game crashes almost on que every 15 minutes or so if I try work on another quest. The repeating music and crashes have rendered my 100hr + save file useless.
Anyone else experience this while on PS3 or other platforms? Is there a known fix?

What about the end of the quest “Battle for Witerun”, when we are supposed to accept the surrender of the jarl. The Stormcloaks do not draw their weapon. Vignar enters DragonsReach but does nothing, except going out immediatly, and thus the whole Civil War quest get stuck in the throne room….
I have been looking for how to solve this issue and had discovered that lots of people seems to have it but haven’t find any positive answer or any ways, even by using the console commands. I can validate the quest “Battle for Whiterun” but it does not proceed immediatly to “Liberation of Skyrim”, and thus I have no way to starts it.

Right now I unlock all the cries and words dragon with grandpa gray beards High Hrothgar tells me that the scene to unlock them.
I have a bug to unlock a word in the Crypt of Folgunthur.
Before the word Dragon Wall, I absorb anything. There is only the indicator arrow pointing to the target wall at ground level. I tried the E key, type everywhere, swinging full of spells / cry … etc.
I did a little research, I’m supposed to learn the word “Cold” to Folgunthur (the second word of the cry icy breath).
Small problem, I have learned to the crest of the ossuary, which is nevertheless supposed to give me the last word “Freeze”.
Emmett Brown would have then sent the wrong place at wrong time?

Jorrvaskr is a prime example. These CTD issues that start on the PC version depending on file size or certain locations is a major issue that needs to be addressed. Oh and plaers/people who paid money for the game are SICK of hearing it is a save file issue and the only fix is just pitch 200+ hour saves and start over.

I have a PC. I have a PS3.
My PC would be able to handle Skyrim at Medium settings (at best), only. While my PS3 can handle it at maximum settings(obviously). If this were a game like Assassin’s Creed or whatever, I would have bought it for the PC. But this is Skyrim. And Skyrim NEEDS to be enjoyed in maximum settings. So therefore, I chose to buy it for the PS3.

Then that leader has the sword that I suppose to find.

Just done those for the first time and have to agree with you, it does feel like you get to the top very quickly. The fight to get the Staff is probably the only stage that could slow anyone down, I have to admit I got too casual and was wiped out at the first attempt,(didn’t realise there was a Mask as well, oops)
I’m guessing you used fast travel as well which does tend to speed up almost anything you are doing, it’s what Beth added for the faster paced play style but it does make the game feel ‘smaller’ in many ways.

I really am not trying to offend anyone by saying this, and I’m not complaining in any way, but as of this moment, I think the people with minor bugs and quest glitches should stop harassing bethesda for the moment. Not saying your problems arent important, but i havent been able to even play skyrim because of the ps3 framerate/lag issue. So until they can fix the biggest problem of all(quite clearly the fact that many ps3 users are S.O.L.) i dont think they should be focused on anything else. Hopefully 1.4 does the trick, that way they can direct their focus towards problems of a much lesser degree

Is there any plans for the headless bug to be fixed? Currently the only fix is to go into the console and change race and then change back, however this leaves a scar around the neck (also if you are a nord, there is no current fix). Your head WILL fall off if you mount a horse, smith, enchant or use an alchemy table. The other fix is to become a werewolf. This removes the ‘scar’ however sometimes your body wills till ragdoll as though you are technically dead. Some armor fails to appear properly under this bug (mainly head gear). Even with the werewolf fix your head will still fall off. To fix the rag doll you can simply use the console to change race and back. The other issue is that whilst you can still shout, there is no voice. The sound doesn’t play.
The way this bug is encountered is by being decapitated and then remaining alive. This can be done by using the “TIM” function or by healing yourself during the decapitation process. I hope this helps and that the bug can be addressed soon. I would like to be able to ride a horse again without loosing my head.

and the only thing i didn’t see is the fix for the quest with the companions. I am still stuck on the eternal mourning of the loss of there leader who got attacked while i was away for a quest for them.
sadly this is some quest big i have from the first time i started playing. and i love my 2 handed warrior way to much.
but i will not play a game when i cant evolve in the quest lines.
and what i don’t like about the game is that nothing changes when you’re the leader of the thieves guild or the dark brotherhood. people still talk the same to you and the environment around you doesn’t change at all.

In the quest, “Revealing the Unseen” Gavros Plinius refuses to die and drop the key to Mzulft. I hope an update will be coming soon that will correct this problem, I am a mage who cannot complete the mage quest.

All the fixes sound great, even though it’s a truly amazing game to begin with. The only thing I didn’t see is the bug where the door for the Glass Claw won’t open. I was able to get to the balcony and get the last word for Storm Call with some clever Wulding, but can’t get the mask.

Dear Bethesda,
Still have problems on these following(I am level 41 at present):
– Skjor should be dead after Clawing the Silver Hand; on first few visit to Jorvarsk he is not there…then somehow he reappears again at Jorvarsk and can be asked for a quest (most of his quest are Family Heirloom)…and he still mentions me as a new recruit…while in the game stage…I am already the companion leader
– Daedric Quest: Boethiah Calling; sacrificing Torvar of the Companions…now, everytime I visit Jorvarsk…Aela & Athis keep attacking me. Athis can be killed, but Aela just standing there asking questions and there is somekind of loop. Have to reload save game to fix it. But…if my character visits Jorvarsk again…it will happen again.
– Breezehome at Whiterun…, 2nd floor before the main bedroom…somehow loosing the wood flooring…but the carpet is still there. Lidya always stuck there before entering the main bedroom
– Everybody concern: follower not levelling up and their stupid behavior…can not avoid trap while the main character has spotted and avoided it.
Hope this will be addressed. Thx.

You do know that Morthal isn’t intended to have a purchasable house, right? I mean, come on. Why even call that a town, much less a CITY. It doesn’t even have a respectable store or even a blacksmith. If you’re looking for housing, I’d look elsewhere. There’s a good reason bethesda didn’t put a player house in that swampy s***hole.

Any chance the marriage bugs for Lydia and Grelka get fixed by patch after 1.4. Also had a one time issue with a dragon not dissolving after killing him near the hagraven for Sanguine’s quest. Any chance issues with quest items not being removable after quest completion gets fixed like bard college items. Any chance something can be done for quests that require me to go back to areas that were already completed for other quests. A few cases specifically are killing giant for dawnstar, but he had orb I needed for Meridia quest so I took him out way before i got from dawnstar or clearing out bandits for Amren sword quest and then later getting quest to clear bandits for same location or bringing back chimvaridium book for mage college and already having book in inventory. I actually have 2 copies of book not worth the same and neither register.

Greatest game ever played in my whole life. Powerful enviroments, breathtaking landscapes, graphics that get you immersed in what you’re doing. And one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever listened to, motion pictures included (Jeremy Soule, you simply rock!).
That said, wish Bethesda would fix that annoying bug regarding Followers: every time you fire them then hire them back, their ability to carry weight decreases (specially with Aela the Huntress and Lydia the Housecarl, both of which I’m sharing Breezehome with) due to the fact that some Follower’s gear reappears in their inventory, invisible to the player, but there it is nevertheless, and of course that weight stacks and finally over-encumbers them), but with no access to PC console commands (I play Skyrim in my Xbox360) that would help me to solve the issue, it’s really annoying not to be able to give any of them a simple, plain dagger to carry or a nice set of armor…

God I hope that Jonsey is wrong. I really do.. If Bethesda isn’t able to fix the lag issue with the PS3 then I’d go as far as to say this game is unplayable. I have a fps of roughly 2-5 after a few hours play. I don’t even understand why they bothered to release it on the PS3 if it works so bad as it does. And one can only assume that they did some gametesting for the console. So I’m looking forward to see if this patch will fix this issue. If not, arent there some kind of law that protects the consumer from this kind of fraud? They sold the game to us and the clear assumtion was that it would work on the consoles. Its like selling us a car and when it gets delivered we discover there is no tyres..

I’d like to see it clearly stated that this patch is fixing the transitional bug; that’s the one many PC users with 250+ hours of play suddenly cannot go anywhere without the game crashing to desktop. I’ve seen hundreds of complaints about this, but the changelog doesn’t plainly state that it is fixing THAT issue. It says something about a “rare” save related issue – but this problem isn’t “rare”, and it isn’t “occasional” either – you will get to a point where it will crash at just about every transition, repeatedly and consistently.
My game is shelved until this is fixed – is it fixed in this patch? And if so, can you please make it clear in the changelog? I don’t see why not, it’s not as if we are buying the patch, right?
magusat999
3 years ago
This is not new information, I wonder why the response is as if Bethesda had no idea about it? I have been reading and even posting the same issue since last month! It’s very common and more widespread than obviously Bethesda wants people to know. If you play more than 250 hours you will be very lucky for it not to happen to you. and if EVERYBODY’S save file is that vulnerable, then it cannot be the save file, it must be something else causing the problem in the first place – we aren’t all expected to start a new game, are we?
magusat999

I don’t see your issue with the first two – that seems to keep the game going to me. I could see your point if we were playing against other people, but that is not the case. I like the fact some actions have positive “side effects”, if you played Morrwind, then you would appreciate it because we are missing a lot of attributes / skills that we had in that game: but things like this help out because it’s like they are still there, just hidden.

Would you mind taking a look at Liberation of Skyrim, the last objective? It remains incomplete, yet Galmar Stone-fist gives me another quest, Battle for Solitude which engages Solitude in siegemode and remains that way, even when completed.
Due to me still having Liberation of Skyrim incompleted puts Solitude in a constant siegemode, as I haven’t completed Liberation of Skyrim, the quest before Battle for Solitude, which engages it in Siegemode.
I’m not the only one with this issue either, I’m probably one among a couple of hundred that have posted about the bug. There’s probably a lot more people with this issue that haven’t posted about it.
Please, do take a look into this.

so my comment was deleted because I mentioned if they were going to fix the companion bug, they also removed Long term play optimizations for memory and performance (PS3) in their newest changelog.
Bethesda needs to take a page from 38 studios on how communication is the best marketing strategy and not buying off review sites to give them a score they clearly don’r deserve…keep deleting comments, off topic or not each comment had a valid question you tossed it because you don’t want your blog to look like mess in front of gaming media.
Too late, unlike previous times where bethesda has gotten away with it. People use twitter more often and use the media to their advantage. This disaster even made BBC, ban if you like, it doesn’t hide the truth. If 1.4 doesn’t fix the problems permanently.
You’ll likely delete this without a second though, but as long as you read it, it’s good enough. Unless your comprehension is as bad as your coders. You’ve dropped the ball too many times for this to just fade away, not this time.
Consoles are not like PC’s where you rely on real talent to fix your games. They need more attention because they don’t have the same luxury as PC gamers have. The PS3 has been out for years, everyone who had issues has adapted amd made spectacular games running equal or better than their competition’s version. You have been stuck in 2006.
The best thing you could have done is admit your incompetence and never release your games on Playstation platforms. Leave that to the real devs of the industry.

Other quest problems:
1-the Numbers Job – Haelgas Bunk House in riffton , the Account book will not activate to alter.
2-Mages Coledge- Brelynas Spell never wears off and stays active in misc quest log.
3-Mages – if books “Chronicles of Nchuleft” or “Hanging Gardens” was picked while exploring , they can never leave inventory and are never acknowledged upon being given quest in Book Library by Orc. You can not place the items back into the quest chests to try to deactivate either.
4-Companion quest – Hired Muscle – if you completed the Stormcloak civil war. Farkas keeps asking you to ruff up the Imperial officer in Solitude where there are non and quest cannot clear. Even reset asks for same character again.. So you can never go back to Farkas for any work / quests.

Please, Please tell me that “Fixed instance where Tonilia would stop buying stolen items and also would not give Guild Leader Armor” refers to the problem I have and a lot of other people have, in which I sold my thieves guild armor early on because I had way better armor at the time. Then when you get the quest to turn in one piece to Tonilia to upgrade it, your stuck. Can’t ever use her as a fence again, and can’t complete the rest of the Thieves Guild quests. Obviously the armor should have been marked as a quest item to avoid this whole ordeal. Would greatly appreciate an update on whether or not you will be addressing that problem and if so, when that would be. Thanks
Also, forgot to mention I play on the Xbox 360 so the console commands are no good to me, and I’m hoping that you’ll fix the issue so that it doesn’t happen to any new characters, but am also desperately hoping you will offer some way to get past this issue for our existing characters. I really really don’t want to start the whole game over again just to avoid this glitch. Maybe another dialogue option with Tonilia when you click on ” I don’t have any of my old armor”. One that would allow us to move past this glitch and continue on regularly with the thieves guild quest line.

How about the Quest items you are forever stuck with! This was a huge problem in Oblivion and I was disappointed it is still a problem in Skyrim. At the very least put a check box in options to allow putting quest items in boxes or a pop up saying ‘this is a quest item are you sure you want to drop it.’. Really this makes no sense.
All the Bards College instrument retrieval quest items are glitched where the NPCs don’t take back so they are permanently stuck and gods forbid you run into them without the quest because then you cant even do it.
I picked up Kahvozein’s Fang not knowing it was a quest item where I need to get my Alteration to 100 in order to even get this quest and I’m a Warrior.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to permanently bound quest items to the player with no way to remove them in light of so many glitched quests and continue to keep such stupidity in the next game is just beyond help. Its unavoidable in both games! How was the ability to remove quest items not added!?

I don’t want to lose my m8 Shadowmere. Unlike the dog, whose ONE or TWO recorded barks and whine are set on ad nauseum infinitum(i swear I started yelling at the broken record of a bark to SHUT THE CUFF UP. I ended up murdering ALL 3 dogs because of it. The drawn out and completely different YELP it shrieked on each death was balm to my ears. HOOWAAARGHH! Please the dogs are cute WHEN THEY DONT CONTINUALLY DO THE SAME RECORDED BARK & WHINE EVERY FEW SECONDS.

First off, can’t wait for the CS to release. Been waiting for this thing since Day 1.
However, there’s a pretty bad.. Bug. Or glitch. Or something, for the PC I think needs to be addressed.
I, like quite a few users, cannot view certain things, such as fire, spells (Shock-based spells work fine for me), and other things such as the beams of light shining in the Dwarven Oculory (I’m not quite sure I spelled that right), and most of the time, it rips me out of the world. I can see the heat effects, but lo, no beautiful fire I’m sure you guys did your best to make look good.
Now, I must say, I can see some fire some of the time. Like on torches or braziers, and every once in a while, Jarl Baalgruf’s big fire! But 90% of the time, that’s not the case.
Some people have downloaded 3rd-party fixes to this, but for quite a few people, it doesn’t work. Anyways, aside from that, great game!

What I’m going to guess, and, keep in mind, this is purely speculation, that they have consoles (PC, XBox 360, PS3), specifically for Skyrim. Now, I’m not talking like, custom built boxes of awesome (except for the PC, of course), but just platforms dedicated to just Skyrim.
The point I’m getting at is that you play more games than just Skyrim. Maybe it’s a memory issue? Maybe you play a ton of games! And alllll of those games are slowly dwindling your memory on your PS3. I know that whenever my game starts to lag (on a PC), I just save, type qqq, and then restart it, wait a minute or so (usually to get something to drink) at the starting screen, and boom, no more framerate issues. And my PC is almost chock full. But I’ll be honest:
I’m not a genius, so, again, this is all speculation.

– Cleared cave where you meet the Werewolfs hunters for the first time because there was a quest from winterhold college, can’t complete the companions quests because cave already cleared.
– Found bards college instruments, can’t remove from inventory
– Meet a new follower, follower don’t level up just like the player and gets killed/stand kneel everytime because BANDITS LEVEL UP

I would love to see a fix to the Vault door in the Thieves’ Guild. I have become a Nightingale and defeated Mercer – but am still working on the little quests to become Guild Master.
The Vault door has been open since Brynjolf and Delvin unlocked it earlier on – but seemingly randomly the doors will close and lock themselves and they require a key to unlock. When this happens I have to go back to an earlier save to get them open again.
This has happened several times and while not a huge problem when I’m running quests in Riften (because I check back often) – the last time it happened I was working on a different storyline and had to reverse 15 hours in order to find an unglitched save. It has happened during entirely different questlines too so I’m not sure what the trigger is.

The faster we the community gets the CK the faster we can possibly make the workload you guys have a little lighter I feel honestly most of the community does not care whom takes credit for such a fix or things like that we just simply want them fixed we know whats wrong with parts we have an idea on how to fix it but we need to CK to accomplish those tasks

Man that would be great , i realy like skyrim’s story and the crafting but i think it is to noobies friendly , i mean , come on from 8 main atributes and 27 skills in morrowind to 3 main attributes and 18 skills in skyrim !! and only 3 generic classes ! it’s like they made it for dummies ! what are real rpg players supposed to do ?!

First off congrats on a great game. This may be a little off topic but i’d like someone at beth to read this. In nearly every way Skyrim is step forward for the Elder scrolls apart from one important thing…role playing. In Morrowind it was possible to answer npcs in multiple ways this led to consequences, in Skyrim choices are very limited. Rather than harp on about Morrowind being superior i’d like to ask if it would be possible to implement two game modes for the next elder scrolls? I understands the content limitation with every line using a voice actor, so why not include text dialog options for those of us that don’t mind reading? An arcade mode (all voiced-less choice) and a more hardcore rpg mode (dialog depth but text based) if you will?

Could you PLEASE PLEASE fix the bug in the Stormclock Vs Imperial quest-line. if you have completed the main Dragonborn quest-line, then this one becomes virtually impossible to complete; right from “reporting for duty” not appearing when you talk to Legate Rikke, to enemy solders stopping to spawn when 5% enemies are left, to “Show on Map” markets not appearing when you are supposed to attack Fort Amol and no armies being present to fight(!!!), this has by far been the most disappointing aspect of Skyrim. PLEASE fix this quest-line; please!

For the last time:
– Killed a dragon in dragontooth crater, quest still remains in misc quests
– Killed a giant to collect bounty, can’t collect bounty
– Become Thief Guild Leader, no Leader armor
– Cleared the cave when you first the werewolves for the first time because there was a quest from winterhold college, can’t finish the companions quest because cave already cleared
– Retrieved instruments to Bards college, can’t remove from inventory

When trying to do the thieves guild quest to get the silver mold his arrow is way out in the middle of nowhere. He’s not there and clarevoyance takes me all the way back to silver-blood inn where he is also not. any chance that could get adressed on the 360? Like an npc reset button that takes all npc’s back to home base if they’re not dead.

The one thing that bothers me to no end right now is that my Khajiit can’t marry another Khajiit. There are no Khajiit NPCS available for marriage at all, not even with the help of the console.
Pretty PLEASE try to fix this. I roleplaying when I’m playing Skyrim and my female Khajiit is lonely and don’t want to marry from another race. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one bothered by this.

One thing I had hoped would be fixed (and I didn’t see) is fixing the bug where if you set off the traps (and subsequently leave the dungeon without picking it up) with the little ship model to sell to the thieves guild contact… totally spacing on the name of the man & the dungeon.

OK, honestly, most of this game is pretty good. But my god, you people absolutely suck balls at quality control. The game will randomly crash to desktop for no apparent reason, I’ve personally managed to glitch 2 separate quests, one of which (Taking care of business/Loud and clear) I can’t even make work with console commands. You know its bad when literally every other quest page on a wiki has a whole section devoted to how to fix your bugged quests. FFS alt+tab doesn’t even work correctly. You guys did an absolutely fantastic job on game design, but I am seriously starting to wonder if you bug tested AT ALL.

I’m currently testing the beta version of the patch, the good news is that it seems to solve the CTD problems, unfortunately some other annoying bugs are still there, those I noticed so far:
– sometimes the right hand disappear when quickly switching between weapons/spells.
– summoning fails when you have active absorbtion spell/effect.
– renaming enchanted objects is impossible when using accented charcters like é,â,ë,…etc.
– the courier supposed to deliver the letter from Quintus Navale never appears making the quest “repairing the phial” unavailable.
– using the mouse wheel when enchanting changes the view distance from the character.
– impossible to remove the bones from the gears after revisiting raldbthar.

So what about the customers who are not located in your obvious “favorite areas”? I am from Eastern Europe and for many years already I buy my software online and have it shipped to me. Like it was with Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout NV and countless other titles. And I have the “luck” of being “neutered” in Steam when it comes to getting DLC’s or anything, because Steam is FORCING me to get only the localized content, nevermind whether I want that or no (which I don’t, I never liked any localized content). I don’t know whether it’s Steam being the pain in the backside or are they doing it because of you Bethesda, but this is utterly rude and ignorant from any side to mess with customers like that. It should be customers choice whether they want localized content or not.
So being already “hung to dry” by Steam or Bethesda with the game itself (Steam shows to me on Skyrim “This item is currently unavailable in your region”) and only having it because I bought it in retail, does this mean that I will also be totally ignored and messed with with this Creation Kit and anything related to it as well? Because it’s on Steam and Steam totally ignoring the customer wishes? If so, then “thank you very much for messing us over yet again” Bethesda/Steam. Nice way of handling the customers, really.

Bethesda please fix a night to remember, I don’t black out to the loading screen after three drinks. I’m level 75 with 250+ hours so I will not restart. All my save files (I have like ten of the same file) will not start the quest “a night to remember” I read a glitch kills Ysolda which prevents the quest from starting, I’m a good guy on my game so I did not kill her,she just vanishes when I try to start a night to remember. This quest is the last daedric artifact I need for the Oblivion Walker achievement, even if you just make ysolda appear until I do the quest,then let her vanish,that would be okay . I do not have internet where I live, i have to use my phone,so when I need the update I have to go an hour into town to a friends house to download updates off xbox live. Bethesda please fix this quest,stop worrying about minor bugs that people complain about,and work on major things like this incompleteable quest, that prevents an achievement. I havn’t played skyrim in two weeks or longer because of this buzzkill glitch, this game is great, I know many others have the same problem; please fix this bug so I can continue to cheer you guys on, because as of now it has dead stopped until my sixty three dollar~ game is playable again.

Is it at all possible that, since you’re fixing one bug involving Knifepoint ridge and Boethiah’s Calling, you could fix another? I was asked by the Jarl of Falkreath to kill the bandit leader in Knifepoitnt ridge and, thinking I could kill two birds with one stone, I did the quest Boethiah’s Calling. However, even with the quest over, I’m told the bandit leader still needs to be killed, despite already doing so in Boethiah’s Calling. When I go to Knifepoint Ridge the quest arrow is pointing to a blank spot near the entrance. Everyone is already dead so I can’t kill the leader and, by extension, can’t become Thane of Falkreath.

Books disappear into bookshelf never to return. When in Markarth I can speak t the Jarl about buying a house. But when he tells me to speak to his steward I cannot start conversation, therefore not able to unlock that house. Other than that most bugs I have ran into can be fixed by simply saving my game and just loading back. By no means should any of that be taken as a complaint. Best Elder Scrolls game thus far, regardless of any problems. O those who are complaining, I challenge you to make a more successful game. Let alone what has to be th mostsuccessful series ever made. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK ALL YO AT BETHESDA! Not even done with Skyrim and already awaiting the next, can’t wait to learn more of the backstory to it all.

It works fine on xbox. the problem with the PS3 version is because of how it allocates RAM. on PS3, half of 512mb ram can only be used for graphics, and the other half for everything else. on xbox, the whole 512mb ram can be used for anything. It CAN work, it is just much harder to fix than other problems. just delete 90% of all your saves, and you should see some inprovement. and ironically, skyrim on PS3 looks the same in terms of graphics as the xbox version.

I dont get you guys at all. Great product, smashing graphics, great storylines, good developed concepts… absolutely irrelevant and annoying “favorites” menu, weak battle sequences… but still overall a good game. Except… Im playing it on my PS3. This menas that during a hard fought battle, such as Fort Sungaard (spelling?) it all lags to a crawl till 50% imperials are killed… then it just hangs and freezes. nothing to do except rebooting the system to the last save pointyou had, except save points are minimized in frequency as 30% of the time, a save leads to a freeze/crash. dont forget either that everytime you have to boot out of a crash, you are wrecking your console. combine that with a blog system that posts all the blogs out of sequence, makes it impossible to follow a thread and a company that is not apologetic at all. hat gives no time frames for when a fix will happen and gives no assurances that one will ever be available.
so forgive me for wanting my 60 dollars back. nevermind the fact that my last thread just happened to not ever be posted either… thanks bethesda. now give me my money back please.

I do not black out to the next part after three drinks, I am level 75 with 250+ hours, I have about ten save files for this file and none of them start the quest. I read online it’s a glitch that makes Ysolda vanish so the quest can’t start without her. I can wait until the next patch after 1.4,just fix it please, even if the fix only temporarily makes Ysolda appear just until I do the quest, that will be okay; This glitch prevents the achievement,so stop bothering with peoples OCD needs with tiny bugs like bookshelf stuff and other small stuff, fix big.thing like.this please; I havn’t played skyrim in probably three weeks now because the a night to remember glitch, I don’t know why my multiple cries for help with this are not being approved for public viewing, fix this one problem, I havn’t asked anything else.

Hey Beth. think you can hurry up with that CK already? The faster you get it out the faster we (the modding community) can fix all these wonderful glitches/bugs u seem to be struggling to fix. I do feel especially sorry for console users. I purchased Skyrim on each of the platforms. my PS3 lasted about 40 hours into before i drops to about 5 fps, and my xbox lasted about 120 hours. I purchased 3 copies because for one i like to play all of my systems, and secondly because i wanted to support Beth because i thought “Hey! it couldnt be any worse then oblivion was” but, im sad to say, i was wrong. you somehow managed to make a glitchy game that also becomes unplayable after playing for a long period. So now i have 2 copies of skyrim just collecting dust on my entertainment stand because i can play neither of them.

I mistakenly picked up Mercer’s plans early in the game (no console commands or cheats used), & read that dropping the plans & using command [setstage TG06 70] should fix the problem by ‘resetting the stage’ to the point before the quest “The Pursuit begins.” Well apparently, if Karliah has finished her dialogue & proceeds to walk out of The Frozen Hearth, she will randomly walk around the over-world & every response she gives is “Hmm.” Unless I’m mistaken, it seems this fix only fixes the issue if Karliah is stuck in the cellar. Unless players revert to an old save, Thieves Guild quest/s will be permanently broken.

This prevents me from completing the daedric questline and getting the Oblivion Walker achievement. I did some research and it turns out this bug may be be due to Ysolda being dead. She died in my game probably due to another bug. Some time after I brought her mammoth tusks I received an inheritance letter. That happened 75 hours ago, so there is no going back for me. Hopefully there is a way to fix this in a patch.

I have already done all that. I have confronted Wuunferth in jail, then when going to the market place I have seen Callixto run to Hjerim with a quest marker above him, the quest says “Catch the murder”, and now he is located with a quest marker above his head inside Hjerim and do not leave the house, I have waited in the marked for several days but he still not leave Hjerim and go and comit another murder. If this isn’t a glitch it is a very strange behaving quest…

Why are you taking away the infinte loop glitch? You dont have any for duping and as the merchants in skyrim have finite amounts of money and you then have to wait about 3 game days for them to restock. decent items to sell are hard to come buy and so is money on your first play through. dont get rid of something that can make a 10th play through quite funny.

I play the Xbox version of Skyrim. I have noticed that Vilkas has a tendency to glitch, as he won’t give any quest after the Glory of the dead mission. I did not cure my character of Lycanthropy, but I was able to get the missions from Farkas. Also the bit of Farkas calling me a “Filthy Beast” when I turned during a fight with him as a follower was priceless. Should I be attacked by him or not when he has been cured of Lycan? Also General Stability needs to be improved. I almost regret buyingi the game sometimes. Also if possible how bout a restoration of Blackreach as DLC? Or this might be hard to do, but mabey a console commands for the Xbox/PS3, it would have to be different, I know but it would give us the ability sometimes to fix problems with some quest that break. Of course you would have to limit some of the commands. BUT, it would be there if it was needed. Like some of the problems that PC gamers have can be fixed by using the console commands, but the Xbox/Ps3 users don’t have that option. So just dont play favorites to the PC users, Not all of us cabn afford to get powerful computers to play skyrim on PC. So come on trow us a bone wont ya?

Sorry about multiple post on the sanguine rose quest “a night to remember”
I didn’t think they would be seen; anyways thanks for an amazing game that will entertain for years to come
I think I found a reason why skyrim lags and crashes, I use the conjured bow, it seems like every glowing blue arrow I shot remains in the ground and all around the game where I used it. Would that affect the memory if it has to remember where everyones arrows landed and where they stay? Since they are conjured arrows I can’t just pick them up, after a hundred or so are throughout the game would that make the game lag? Maybe every month or so you guys can do a clean sweep to erase all the scattered arrows, in hopes that it will help the game work easier? Also, the quest a night to remember doesn’t start after three drinks, preventing my Oblivion Walker achievement, please fix.

It is really not that hard to re-size the menu, what 5 minutes with access to source code?

Most Important fixes:
1. Urag gro-Shub will not accept books already found and in inventory, can not drop or complete.
2. Jarls send you to already killed giant/dragon/bandits and will not pay bounty or allow completion – what a reward for world exploration!
3. Can NOT turn in last item for “Litany of Larceny” (no matter the order, the 7th one fails)
4. Re-entering Dwemer Museum restarts “Hard Answers” – can not regain key to the Lab quest uncompletable
5. “Visit College of Winterhold” remains incomplete if you use any persuade/bribe/intimidate – even after becoming Arch-mage
6. Sergius Turrianus & Delvin Mallory send you after NPC’s that have been killed BEFORE they assign quest – at least you can quit Delvin’s job and get another
7. Lod can be killed by dragons/bandits BEFORE you get “A Daedra’s Best Friend” – Achievement related

I don’t know if it’s already been raised, but in the quest: The Forsworn Conspiracy, when your finished in the Tresury and you go to find Eltry in the Temple of Talos, the guards who are supposed to take you to jail wont do anything, and the main guard is replaced by a Legate who only tries to recruit you. The quest will not finish and you cannot start the quest: No One Escapes Cidhna Mine.

Currently I can not play Skyrim with out my PS3 crashing within a few minutes, if not at start. I’m about 80-90 hour into the game. I was wondering a couple things.
Will the new patch cause me to start over? And if so or if it doesn’t solve my issues, will Bethesda refund my money?
One last question, if Skyrim locks my system again in the future and the hard restart ends up ruining the hard drive like the warning message the PS3 displays every time the game forces me to do this, will Bethesda compensate me for a replacement HD since it’s their programming that is causing my system to crash?
Thank you

Well it is now officially January 31st, and there is still no Creation Kit. This is getting to be more than a little annoying. Let’s review the history of the Creation Kit thus far. First they said that they hoped it would be available on release day. Then they said coming shortly. Then they said a January Release, which to most people meant, if not January 1st, then at least by or around the 15th. Now it looks like its not even going to be released in January or, if it is, it’ll be at 11:59 PM. Since Bethesda’s policy with PC gamers seems to have turned to a
“we’ll make the game for console, give you a bad port, give the 360 first grabs at the still unannounced DLC packs, and then expect you guys to pick up the pieces and turn the game from potentially great to actually great”
approach, then the very least they could do would be to give us the tools needed to fix the game. And seriously, just tell us when the thing is going to be released. No more vague “just around the corner” or “soon after this patch”. Let’s hear a date and time when we can start making Skyrim what it was meant to be

So, I’m anxiously awaiting the patch for the PS3 version. Any eta?
As far as the flaming/angry/ck related discussions go, well…a lot of games are released with the occasional glitch/bug. I can only comment on the PS3 version. I bought the collector’s edition for the PS3 thinking it was going to be a better experience, but I was wrong. I just find it odd that my game is so glitchy, yet my friends who have it on the PS3 are not experiencing nearly as much as the glitch that I have. On the other hand, the game is engrossing enough to keep me playing (currently clocked at 270 hours of saved playing time). I really hope this patch comes out because I want to be able to play for a few hours without having to get frozen up coming out of one my homes.
Still a fan of Bethesda (Fallout Fanboy for life) but I don’t think I’ll ever buy a Bethesda title on the PS3 again. I’ll stick with the xbox.

I think Bethesda needs a new rule, content and patches get done when Bethesda says so, if they can take their time and work out the bugs, with no stress of a time limit and due dates, the quality would be far better. Are you fans really DIEING without a freaking video game wow, go ride a bike or sooomething and let beth do their job. Play the game in moderation people.. If you don’t, you get whiney addicted fans that become glued to the place where they can complain about minor bugs, that they probably wouldn’t discover in the first place if they didn’t play the game 20 hours each day.

Any fix for the bug at Mzulft in the Revealing the Unseen Winterhold College quest?
You need a key from the body of Gavros Plinius at entrance of Mzulft but sometimes he is frozen, will not die and cannot be pickpocketed. This has also happened in PC versions of the game. Cut-scene did not appear. May be caused by attacking him while he is talking or attempting pickpocket. Doesn’t appear to be fixed by coming back later or rebooting game

I am a fan of your elderscroll games and have played them for years. That being said I am very disappointed in the lack of communication concerning the creation kit. The vague “coming soon” or “almost done” are getting quite old. Let your loyal fans know what the issues are. Tell us what is taking so long.

The entire time between semesters that I wanted to spend with the Construction Kit is gone now. Steam got hacked and people had their private information stolen, thanks Bethesda for making me join Steam to play your buggiest game ever.
Either release buggy software and be honest about it or stop your executives from setting time tables the programmers can’t meet. Your designers are awesome (seriously, I think your team is top notch), though every interview with Todd Howard I ever read convinces me that he is probably one of the weaker links.
Just be honest and make steam optional. Every other problem with your game will be fixed for you once the CK is out since your mod community is used to cleaning up your games for you. Bethesda, we know every bit of code you make is buggy, so just give us what we paid for and we’ll fix your bugs for you.
I was told Skyrim would have a CK, I understand it’ll take a bit, but I bought the game to mod. I paid money to mod, as is I have felt nothing but disappointment since day 2. After the “ooh pretty shiny” sensation caused by marvelous graphics went away and I was playing the game on it’s own merits. I could write an essay on things the game needs fixed.

I’ve already progressed so far in the game that the mods are almost out too late. A large portion of the fun is experiencing the game with your own flavor. It sucks that you couldn’t get your act together and get the kit out in time. For me, modding is what made oblivion so much fun. Crappy way to put a sour taste in the mouths of the true fans of your work. I put the game down and don’t anticipate on picking it back up either way now. You knew awhile ago that the kit wouldn’t be out on time again. Just update people and be honest.

They should just make the beta ck open after today, that way we can at least get our hands on it.

Most people have already given up on Skyrim, for many reasons that need not be named. I not recommending Skyrim to my friends. How many other people do you think have done the same?
Only the extremely hard core players seem to still be around. The majority of people who would have comprised a great modding community have either moved on or gone their own ways and will not become part of a close nit community.

@doncdXX – Wait, it’s their buggiest game ever, but their designers are awesome (top notch)? What does honesty have to do with steam being optional?
Maybe I’m just not as hard-core about this after logging only 300+ hours into Skyrim but so far it’s FAR from the buggiest thing they’ve ever released and while I understand and empathize with the sentiment of disappointment that the CK hasn’t released yet Bethesda’s time tables are not to my or your stipulations. Yes, it would be nice to have it for Christmas break, yes it would be nice to have had it for the 3 weeks I was recovering from surgery, but it’s hardly their fault for not adhering to OUR schedules and life circumstances. I can GUARANTEE, that shotty steam implementation or personal CK bugs the Devs were willing to put up with would have elicited the same type of response, so best stick with the devil you know and release it when it’s ready.

Could a fix also be prepared (probably for 1.5 then) whereas the quest ‘Fetch me that book!’ cannot be completed when the random request for a book is a book that is already in one’s possession ? I currently have it (on X360) where I can’t complete the quest because I already found the book (in my case: Fragment on Artaeum, found in Bleak Falls Barrow). See also the entrance in Skyrim’s wiki; apparently this bug is known already for a longer time …

I mentioned this before and since this is Bethesda I got a vague non-answer. What a surprise. I know a lot of pc users who think it’s pretty crappy of Bethesda to use us for their beta testing to help fix their game that was woefully unprepared for it’s release and yet Xbox 360 still gets dlc before we do? How about showing some appreciation and at least releasing dlc for pc at the same time as 360? From the past track record it would actually be smarter to give it to pc first so we can work all the bugs out. So how about it Bethesda? What about showing a little common courtesy and at least giving us dlc at the same time as 360? I doubt I will see an answer to this but it would be nice to be proven wrong.

Its 7:15 where I am in the states and still no update on the release of the ck or the update. Besthesda, you guys have shown in the past that you deliver when you say that you will have something ready and then blam there it is. But for some reason you have almost turned into the government boasting release date after release date with no results or statements to give us an idea of what to expect. Just a bunch of cloak and dagger with the whole modding community in tangled knots wondering what is going on. Look I suggest no more promises and no more of this its almost.. wait.. no almost.. wait…wait…almost here now garbage and just tell us it will be here when you decide that its ok to put out. That way we won’t be in this rediculous waiting game getting our hopes up and then dashed. Its like having a gf who gets you ready to go then says naw lets just go to sleep. We don’t like being blueballed. Other than this incident with the lapse in judgment about release times and dates you guys are always spot on when you put out games. I love your products and love the fact that you completely and openly support the modding comunity. In that aspect other game developers should follow in your foot steps. Thanks guys you’ve taken awhile to get this out now take your time and get it right.

They probably could have bargained with Microsoft to have the deal apply to both Xbox and PC, seeing as theyre both Microsoft platforms. And if they really want to use us for their beta testing they should just do what theyve always done and let the modding community fix the bugs ourselves. Its much faster, and then they could just do the same thing for the consoles.

I for one have been waiting patiently for the CK. I have never done mods before so I am very excited to try. Complaining about when it will come out won’t solve anything. Ok no it didn’t come out when they said it MIGHT come out. No big deal. I am sure they want to make sure that it is going to be a great kit with as little bugs as possible. Enjoy the beat patches PC gamers cause Bethesda didn’t even have to release them to us. Skyrim is a huge game and of course had some issues. All games have issues at release. Bethesda seriously thank you for making this great game. CK will be great. Release it when it’s ready. Thanks again Bethesda.

Disagree. I don’t know anyone, aside from random people with entitlement/patience and common sense issues, who thought the CK was going to be out anywhere near the first of the month. Heck, I didn’t expect it until the end of the month, if not next month. Why? Because I know COMPANIES in general, not JUST Bethesda.
It’s going to be done when it’s done, get some common sense and stop expecting a company with many different things affecting their scheduling to meet a schedule they never even gave an exact date for.

I honestly hav not experianced any bugs or glitches at all, as far I can recall. I play on PC, have played the game for a total of approximately 64 hours, and I have no outside modifications added to my game. While I was rather irritated with the Steam requirement, as it reduces speed of download and is generally more difficult than a direct installation, I am quite satisfied with this game.
I would, however, LOVE to get some mods like I had for Oblivian such as the Vile Lair, new Races, and weopons based upon my favorite anime. Whenever the Construction Kit becomes available, I will certainly download it. No hurry. But sometime February would be tremendous.

The only reason I’m mad is because it’s mostly delayed for a feature we don’t need. Like Bethesda is great, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t understand why they can’t just give us a finalized release date at the least, like I want day, month, year. The Creation Kit was one of the biggest selling points for me, I loved it in Morrowind and Oblivion (well the construction set then), so this is pretty annoying.

Does this patch fix the problem with the ending of the “Battle for Windhelm” quest?
**SPOILERS BELOW**
Many players, including myself, are having a problem where at the end of the attack on Windhelm, when entering the Palace of the Kings, the General and Legate do not enter and if my character enters the Palace, she’s frozen and can only spin in a circle or ‘wait.’ I’ve tried everything to get around it (I’m on xbox360 btw), but from what I’ve read, it seems to be a result of the last patch.
So, is this going to be fixed in this patch or do we have to wait for the next one? Really frustrating just because it’s the very end of the quest. Thanks.

Haven’t read back far enough to see if anyone posted about this, but fix the damn Waking Nightmare quest. Erandur simply disappears as you enter the temple and is no where to be found. But his marker is further inside the temple, and since he is gone I cannot continue. I’m playing on the 360, so I have no easy solutions to this. Would really love to be able to get the final daedric artifact.

Bethesda, where do I start? You were one of my favorite game companies. Ever. Since the release of Skyrim you have been giving out “dates” of when the CK will release. You have missed THREE. Don’t you feel a little embarrassed? This really, really hurt your public image.
It seems you guys followed the Activision route – take our money, and make false promises. Morrowind’s CS was released on day one. Oblivion’s was released BEFORE the game even came out. Skyrim? Three months+.
Fans were entitled to the CK, in June. You stated we would be getting it, and now it seems we may never. Although we will eventually get it, I feel that we could have gotten it much earlier if it wasn’t for Steam Workshop. We have the Nexus, and we have Planet Elder Scrolls. Why add more confusion with the Workshop (which will probably never be used anyway)?
Better yet, why do we even need Steam to play this game? The past ES’s have been perfect without it. All Steam is a complete annoyance. I can’t believe I NEED Steam to play this game.
Bethesda, you should feel horrible.

Both of these armors I love but they dont look right, and the mask on nightingale armor shows up on males but not shrouded why is that?

Why are you so rude? Why do you respect your customers so little?
It’s been a couple of days since the release of 1.4 was due, and only silence from Bethesda. Not even a note on your own blog that you will be a little late. Nothing.
Why does Bethesda feel the customers are not worth even a minimal show of courtesy or respect?

First of all, i love the elder scrolls its in my opinion the best game series ever!!!
But…..
Please do NOT make your game steam dependant!!!!!!!
The irritation starts when i get my collectors edition of skyrim two days before release. I went home very excited, cause i could play skyrim in the evening. But after installation the irritating steam program said that i couldn’t play,because it wasn’t released yet!!!!!! What the diddly!!!!!!!
I paid 150€ for this game and i can’t play, even if i have a retail copy in my hand!!!!
please make sure i either don’t get the game, or steam just shuts up and lets me play. And now again we are waiting for interaction with the steam workshop……
just leave steam and steam compatibility out of your games, i am pretty sure that the most substantial part of the modding community doesn’t like or want it. I mean things worked just fine without steam.
I beg u, please release the creation kit. Even in an “as is” state. And please leave out the steam stuff!!! U will only lose customers with steam dependancy NO ONE WANTS IT OR NEEDS IT
Don’t get me wrong. U guys are great and your games are too, but steam is not, i repeat NOT!!

Just a few minor thoughts…let’s be patient about the CK. If you want a good CK then you have to wait…yes, I know the game is buggy due to a release that never should have happened when it did, but let’s not rush the program that can help us fix it. Also, I hope the house buying quest in Windhelm gets fixed, I still can’t get the quest to start and I’ve been in and out of Windhelm about 32 times! Lastly, rumor has it that Skyrim has zero re-sale value. If you don’t like the game, that’s fine but there’s no sense selling it to someone else because once the game is activated through Steam it can’t be re-activated by anyone else. I do have to say “Shame on you, Bethesda” because you initially lead people to believe (prior to release) that the game would be playable with or without Steam, yet the first “patch” you released made Steam manditory for gameplay. Anyone that knows me knows I HATE 3rd party vendors in software because they tend to screw up the works, and this has been no exception. I would like to know if you intend to re-imburse those who can longer play the game due to this little stint you pulled…namely dial-up users (because the connection is too slow), satilite users (because they have limited downloads), and people who still have to use public computers. I have read complaints from all three classes and you (Bethesda) have definitely made your share of enemies. I know that if any other game you create even BREATHES the word Steam, I won’t be buying it.

Concerning the Creation Kit failing to meet the appointed release date for third time:
Arrived to this point -February 2012- I seriously think that Bethesda must offer the Skyrim’s Creation Kit as a public beta release -like they are doing with 1.4 patch. After all, we all know that this Creation Kit is being tested by a number of users -this closed-beta participation isn’t even recent; rather, it is going on from months-, chosen ones by Bethesda according to who knows what criteria . . .
Like others, I bought this game in 11-11-11 believing that the Creation Kit was part of the release: we customers deserve at the very least a beta participation on the Creation Kit!

This is completely understandable, but I wish they had given us over estimates and said March back in November so that if they finished early we could have a nice surprise rather then giving us their actual time table because things like that never happen on time.

It can’t be. I wish we could have mods, but first of all this generation of consoles can barely handle the base game on low alone, and on top of that mods conflict, so just minimizing and deleting or changing mods would solve the problem on pc, but because we don’t have that on console conflicting mods would probably freeze it.

I wouldn’t resort to poking at the guy responding to the comments just because there is a Bethesda tag by him. I’m looking forward to the Creation Kit as well, not only for the enhancements to the current mod community but to try to mod myself. But, everyone complains when a game is released with bugs, they couldn’t have kept it a little longer and released a ‘full game’ is what I hear a lot, so I don’t see any point in rushing someone in design and release. However: I would ask that there be an update as learned, if it looks like it’s going to take a week, I’d like to see that in the updates or news, so people aren’t impatiently staring at the thread for three days leading to the end of the month. Further more, if we could have the updates on the status of the project, say every three or four days along, and promises of an actual announcement of both the 1.4 full(non-beta) release, as well as the Construction Kit, when released, then it might help some people to relax and such. Think that’s feasible Bethesda guy, GStaff, to have those things in the mean time?

Why is there so many glitches involving missions? I get half way thru a mission only to have a character Im supposed to get information off or give an item to, only to have absolutely no way of doing this because the characters dont have any speech option involving my quest or item….. Its really frustrating considering Ive spent 90hrs+ playing and the only reason I cant finish the game is because of this. (I have finished the game before & Ive checked my official strategy guide so I know this IS a glitch and not a player error)
Why dont you think about creating a “correction scan” that could be located in the option menu? it would enable player to scan their game file which could take a few minutes and the computer could check the questline against what has & hasnt been done by the player. Anything found in this scan that isnt right could then be automatically reset by the computer. For expample the player may have to restart the quest. This might be annoying for some but its better than playing for 90hrs+ only to have to start from scratch because of a glitch. Or even simpler just have a reset quest option available in the active & completed quests menu.
I realize this wouldnt be a small patch but players having these problems would surely be greatful.

I give the guys at Bethesda some serious props for making such a good game. Admittedly, it has its bugs. No good game goes without them. Letting the modding community help out is something that makes the company unique, as it actively lets people play with their game and improve it as they see fit. As far as the Creation Kit release date, I place my trust in the fact that it will be out soon. It just seems that I have more patience than most in that regard.

If you take as you wingman that Gorbash iron fist-something etc…he often don’t fight he stays like an idiot(he doesn’t react at all) and NPCs kill him or attack me. That’s very annoying. Another annoying thing is :if you eneter a cave before getting its quest , when you finally get its quest , you have to do it again, killing the same people, the items are again there etc. WTF is that ?? It’s really tiresome. The bard quest is still signaled even if you finish it, so are other quests I can’t remember now, but they lay in my list. There is that bug I don’t see it solved in the log, where that fellow (blad master or something) doesn’t open the door in thieves sewers. I understand that his sounds files missing triggers this bug. So Bethesda…what the WTF are you doing ? Solve ALL the bugs and AFTER release a patch ! Don’t you read the gamers complaints ??? idiots…

I’m as frustrated as anybody, mind you. I’d have liked the Construction Set to be released when you said it would be released. So please, give us a set date, as best as you can (+/- a day is fair, by my books), and release it within that time frame.
With that said, I’d like to say I’ve had little to no problems playing the game. I wish I could say the same for quite a many other players.

It’s a grand collection of an insane number of variable, if the execs had asked how’s it going more often and did a little less rushing them for a pre-Christmas release, they would have had the time to clean it up. Blizzard may anger people with their false release dates, but when it releases it works correctly. Bethesda could utilize that strategy as well, used by craftsmen for generations. Don’t sell a product until you are finished making it.
The problem with the bugs isn’t programmers, it’s accountants and impatient rich men eager to get richer sooner. Making a complicated piece of software takes as long as it takes and not a line of code sooner.

One order of business I would like to cover here…I’m wondering about the people who are having exceptional problems with their game. By this, I’m pondering where you live, what platform you are using, and last but not least, the specs of your system (particularily PC). I have the sneaky feeling that the answer Bethesda may be seeking no doubt lies in the answer to those questions. I live in the USA, have a PC with the following specs: AMD 1090T X6 processor w/16GB DDR3 @ 1333 and Radeon HD5750 1GB GDDR5 for video. The game, short of my Windhelm problem has run 98% smooth with few complications. The Companions quest initially would not trigger but the patch Bethesda released fixed at least that much (as well as the backwards-flying dragons!). My point is that the source may not be so much the game as the platform, system specs, and country you are living in? Just a thought Bethesda, though I’m sure (or hoping I’m sure) that you all ready thought of that.

I think people need to stop whining like babies. The ONLY people that should be really complaining are PS3 players. The CK will come out when it comes out. It’s FREE and Bethesda DOES not even have to let us PC players have it. Did the game case say “The CK date is this or that?” Nope, it sure didn’t. You all should be thrilled that Bethesda even let’s us use the CK. It’s a huge game so yes it has issues. Get over it. Stop whining and if you really have to go take the game back if you can. Bethesda is doing a good job. You can always play a different game if the issues are that bad. I for one have only had the Esbern voice issue. All I done was wait a while, save and reload and it worked. Did I go crying about it? Nope. Like I said, PS3 players have the most issues.
To Bethesda: Thanks for all the hard work. This player appreciates it.

That stuff does not affect an achievement like my one quest glitch that I have posted about probably 15 or more posts by now ,that is pathetic really, I still have not played the game since hoping this would be fixed but you guys are too busy with stupid bugs that do not break this game. Man up and fix the big things first that everyone needs fixed, are you kidding me, one of the fixes you are working on are to retexture the bread.. This is a well deserved insult YOU SUCK. That is just amazing to me how many small things are worried about but not a daedric quest I cant even begin for my final artifact for my achievement, really weak bethesda.

i probably will not be buying another one of your games. waste of money when you clearly dont care about your players.

So i’m not sure if people are having the same issues as I am (PS3) but this patch doesn’t fix these:
-during “Forbidden Legend” when i try to enter Geirmund’s Hall the game “freezes” on the loading screen. It eventually turns black with the music still playing and the level bar is the only thing visible (the reason why i put freezes in quotations is because i dont believe its completely frozen but actually lagging EXTREMELY bad.
-Embershard Mine won’t repopulate the bandits even after waiting 45 days (I need to kill the leader in order to become thane for Falkreath)
-in the journal, i have an entry “collect bounty from skald” that won’t go away
-an interesting note; the mannequins in Proudspire Manor are glitched (as we all know) however i put Morokei’s mask on one of them along with the entire set of the shrouded armour. i took off morokei’s mask…. walked outside….. came back in and the mask was STILL there…..now everytime i come back into the house and take the mask off and leave then come back a new one respawns…. i have like 8 masks…
anyways if anyone can confirm this information or if Bethesda can let us know if these bugs will be fixed in the next patch, please don’t hesitate. Thanks.

The blame most likely lies with the console companies. Every patch has to be “checked” by the console companies before they will allow them to be distributed and downloaded by everyone. I have it for the PS3, but this is just one of the many reasons I would have preferred to have gotten it for the PC. That and the modding community. I’ve been playing this game for nearly 200 hours and haven’t encountered anything that “broke” the game for me, so I’m VERY happy. And if this latest patch improves the lag I’ve just now started to have in game…. well, then I’ll be VERY VERY happy. Love this game. Love Bethesda.

Thanks for the fixes with lag and such! However, my main problem was that I couldn’t re-enter Reachcliff cave to do the ‘Taste of Death’ daedric quest. I was there before I activated the quest and cleared out the draugr. Now when I go there with Eola, I can’t enter. It is just an infinite load. So, restart the game on my PS3 from the previous save and have to skip this quest.

Yup. My husband Marcurio disappeared during a Storm Cloak battle and I have no idea how to find him or where he could be. I checked all over the are where I lost him, to see if he died, but no luck. He isn’t our home or his original home, The Bee and the Barb in Riften. I’m not allowed to remarry because the game isn’t registering that he’s gone. Poo. He was strong too! Apparently this is a major bug in the game, spouses disappearing. Kind of funny.

What about the bug with saving Thorald? ( on PS3 its impossible to save Thorald without killing everybody, the general says no to release him no matter what and there is no other way even with imperial armor… And the bug on Shalidor’s labyrinth… I cant activate de healing sigil and the illusion sigil… Even a level 60 mage apparently… Thanks bethesda!

Is there going to be a fix that addresses the follower Illia’s complete disappearance upon dismissal? She does not return to Darklight Tower…

Is anyone else running into the issue of terrain and clothing turning a fluorescent purple? Then items displayed during loading are also this purple and sometimes the whole screen is wiped clean by this fluorescent color!? Whenever I see the color distorting things, I know the game is going to freeze and I always have to turn off my system (XBOX 360) and start again. UGH!! I also was approaching a Mammoth and it suddenly jumped high into the air, fell to the ground and died…..weird.

Bethesda,
I wish to add a potential glitch that you may, or may not, be aware of. Sometimes killed enemy NPCs, e.g. Draugr or bandits, will clip through the world in to the ground, forever gone (until they respawn I guess). Additionally, if a killed bad guy falls against a wall or a portion of the floor that is uneven due to, say, a mound of rocks or dirt, their bodies will be unable to be looted and/or selected. This can be quite annoying when said monster/bad guy is someone you need to get something off of them because of a quest. Also, I have also had dragons who die while in the air clip through the ground, instead of doing their “crash landing” death sequence.
I noticed that this same clipping problem occurred in the initial release of Fallout 3 and was fixed in the first patch (me thinks). I know there is a good chance the programming team that worked on Skyrim is different from those that worked on F3, but the engines seem awfully similar to me. Perhaps they have a fix you can plug in, rather than pouring through all of those lines of code.
Anyway, great game thus far Bethesda. If I may offer a suggestion for any game modifications that may be included in any downloaded content (DLC), please have some additional monsters to fight when we go exploring the different crypts. Fighting the same 3 or 4 level-dependent Draugr gets a bit old after the 8th tomb is explored. Cheers.

I have a problem on the PS3, I don’t know if anybody else has it but ever since I was a werewolf I haven’t been able to zoom out into 3rd person. I can’t even see my hands or my weapon in 1st person mode. If anybody knows what to do to fix it please tell me…

The Staff of Magnus
I was really hoping that the glitch which leaves Mirabelle Ervine unwilling to send you off to the Staff of Magnus quest would be fixed. I regrettably have no savegame to revert to in order to restart ‘Revealing the unseen’.
I apparently hit her with something while fighting Ancano. The Arch Mage is dead in the college courtyard, and nothing I do will trigger the Staff of Magnus quest to start.
Quite annoying.

“Striking the heart” is still not possible to complete if you’ve already assasinated the Silver Hand leader earlier in the game…Which means that there’s no way to play through the Companions questline…baaah…

It seems we have new problems with the new-released Creation Kit.. And incase I surfing every wiki for that problem and cannot find anything.
I use every TES Construction Sets since Morrowind, Oblivion and use Garden of Eden Kit for Fallout 3. But first time I encounter such a problem in Skyrim Creation Kit.
Yes me and my friends encounter a problem here it is;
When the started the launcher, the Game Launcher does’nt recognise the esp file. And shows blank.
” I use the Creation Kit and created a “esp” file with the kit. The Kit saves the esp file into the ol’ Data folder.
I want to test the Creation Kit which for if my esp file is corrupted or not.
So I downloaded some others Mod’s on Skyrim Nexus. and use this Mod’s esp file.
The game Launcher does’nt recognize this esp also.
So the problem is not the corrupted esp files.
When I surfing on the forums, I encounter some dialogue that the Skyrim’s main game save folder may be corrupted.
So I checked out the folder’s properties ( example; ” C:\Programs\Bethesda Softworks\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim ” ) and if the folder is not checked “Read-Only”…
But the problem is there even If I checked that the folder is not Read Only, After the confirmation the folder’s properties automatically reverse again as a Read Only..
So the Game launcher cannot recognise all esp files into a game.
Dear Bethesda you released the Kit so much later since the game release date. And yet the Kit itself is glitched.
What is this Bethesda ? I want to believe you.
If you want to say us (Modding Community) that “the modding is over” or not ?
We wait 2-Long month to editing and modding the Skyrim and yet you released new glithes and bugs for us ?

Thanx to my friend “iDiru” on forums; Here the solution everyone;
“I fixed this, actually, I think… I’m still having some small problems.
This is what I did. For some reason if you save it to the data folder, it’s like, invisible. But the only place you can save it is to the data folder apparently. So, what I had to do, was move it…
It’s kind of tedious, though. Save your ESP file.Close the creation kit. Reopen it. Click ‘save’ again. The esp file you just saved should be there. Right click it, then click move to> then documents.
Close creation kit if you want. It doesn’t really matter at this point.
The ESP file should be visible now, in your documents folder. Go to your Skyrim directory. Put the file back into Data. Skyrim should read it now.
Make sure to check it on the data files though, when you start Skyrim. In the case that your data files button is greyed out, do this…
(Copied and pasted)
You need to add that line in SkyrimPrefs.ini located in My document/MyGames/Skyrim or something. I don’t use win 7 so figure it yourself, pleasa ).
Look for the line:
[Launcher]
bShowAllResolutions=0
uLastAspectRatio=2
And add it like this:
[Launcher]
bShowAllResolutions=0
uLastAspectRatio=2
bEnableFileSelection=1
It really works everyone, the esp data’s will be viewable after this process.
Cheers!
