Bethesda Outlines Skyrim 1.5

[The Pinray]

So... did they ever fix the whole followers not scaling to your level after they've been met thing?

 

[Icehearted]

My Daedric Bow and I are ready.

I didn't see one on a couple of busted escort missions on my game. Bummer. At least they're still on top of some of these though. The arrow cleanup will also be nice, as I'm still finding arrows from when I was level 11, which was several in-game months and about 37 levels ago, though they do bring back fond memories of a time when I wasn't death incarnate and actually had to play more carefully.

Hey look, another patch adding some more content people payed for but didn't get in their unfinished game. Awesome.

I didn't buy Skyrim for kill cams and grass shadows.

What the fu- I did. Fuck yeah grass shadows.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Wait. Lydia is a marriage candidate and I get killcams?? And sweet, they haven't patched the Oghma Infinium on consoles yet. Score! I can still progress to where I'd like, then cheat my ass off to my heart's content.

Granted, it's a minor tweak, but since years of videogames have made me a murderous sociopath, I dig it. The only thing better than killing some jerk is killing him with slow-motion flair!

If only I could cross Prototype/Darkness 2, Saint's Row the Third, and Skyrim, and maybe add in the Just Cause 2 sense of hilariously noteworthy bugs that don't actually cripple the game, all of my psychopathic urges could be satisfied in one go. I can see it now. A giant swings a giant wobbly dildo bat, the creature it hits gets half eviscerated as if it were dropped in a blender with a bucket of red paint and lots of tomatoes, and the other half disappears into orbit as a gleaming speck, only to come down and bounce two miles down the road. Oh, the majesty of the carnage.

I swear I'd need therapy if games weren't such and impressive outlet for such things.

Now I have a reason to boot up my old wizard again!

I've actually not encountered any horrible, horrible glitches that killed my characters forever. The worst glitch I've had was that time that the hagraven told me to kill the other hagraven, but I already did, and now I can't get rid of the damn quest to kill something that's already dead.

I did have a huge scare when I overwrited my last save in the bottom of the pit in "darkness returns" quest... scariest ten seconds I've had in a videogame. I really like my thief. O.O

I'm loving the new additions. But why have Bethesda still not fixed the bugs that are present in every single version/copy of Skyrim by now?

Does anybody else not find it hilarious that they are spending time creating new kill cams and other worthless crap where there is still so many game breaking bugs that have yet to be addressed.

Wow, they tiptoed around it but still haven't managed to fix the gamebreaking main quest bug that me and a bunch of others encountered where you can't start the quest "A Cornered Rat"? They fixed a bug regarding it but not the one that prevented getting it. You'd think the main quest would be a priority... :/

You should have all known that when you play an Elder Scrolls game you have to have at least 20 progressive saves that you can reload when you inevitably run into game breaking bugs. Sure, it means that you'll have to replay hours and hours. I lost track of how many times I had to reload 5-10+ hours old saves. I'm not trying to excuse Bethesda or say that it's okay, this is the sad reality of the Elder Scrolls series.

Granted, it's a minor tweak, but since years of videogames have made me a murderous sociopath, I dig it. The only thing better than killing some jerk is killing him with slow-motion flair!

Fantastic.

Indeed I have around 15 rolling saves on both my 360 and PC versions of Skyrim. It's been standard practice for me since Morrowind. I'm just really surprised that the bugs that aren't variable (i.e. the bugs that everyone will experience due to coding errors present in every single version of Skyrim) have yet to be fixed. I can't really envisage a Bethesda game without bugs - it's part of the umm.......charm.

 

[infohippie]

Hrm, looks like they are finally fixing the bug that prevents players from not being able to marry Lydia. That should make some people very happy.

I already fixed that in mine, I've been married to Lydia for a while now. It's just a quick console command on PC.

BTW, speaking of Skyrim bugs and the fixing thereof, does the image below look familiar? I seem to have picked up a bugged spell effect or something that won't go away and doesn't show up in the list of current effects. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything, it's just visual, but it's starting to get quite annoying. I have the thing you see below stuck to my character's feet, or waist when she's on a horse, with a constant billowing fog cloud streaming off it. AND I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!

 

[infohippie]

That looks like the after effect of when an Ice Wraith hits you with its ice attack. Weird how it never went away for you. And sorry no I do not know how to fix it other than reloading from before it happened.

Damn. It's really bloody irritating. :-/

Thanks for replying, man.

 

[punipunipyo]

wait... when is this?

Eh, different people have different jobs. Not every person in the company can or should devote their whole lives to fixing bugs that most people never encounter, quite honestly. And should Cog-in-the-machine #49 not get the kill cam's they've spent the last 2 months perfecting included in a content patch just because there are some bugs about? Think about the poor disaffected cogs in the machine!

 

[[Insert Name Here]]

So when does the patch that allows me to get my hard save of 120 hours of gameplay that the game decided it would overwrite with another profile's autosave come out?? I love the game, but it made me a little sour when it just got rid of my save.

If you don't have at least 5 or 7 back "hard" saves, then you are not saving correctly.

For any game that is hugely opened and notoriously buggy, the gamer should have a running round-about of saves going on.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

At least some good news these days. Bethesda is awesome.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

I really wish they would put an option in to take out killcams, I really don't like them. Especially since the unarmed ones have now turned Dovahkiin into el luchadore

 

[Pat8u]

nope its most likely that they are making patches slowler because their team is working on dlc
