Skyrim hasn't exactly been behaving itself in the weeks since its November 11 launch, something that longtime fans of Bethesda Softworks' open-world RPG efforts are painfully aware of. The game's latest update seemed to cause more problems than it addressed, and while moonwalking dragons are hilarious always, they don't exactly belong in a finished and presumably polished $60 video game.
Bethesda is aware that many of you are dissatisfied, and has promised to be better in the future about such things. An update on the Bethesda Blog reveals that a patch will be coming to all platforms over the next week or so that will fix the issues created with this week's patch. More fixes are promised for after the holidays, both "full title updates" and "incremental 'gameplay updates' to fix whatever issues come up, along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits."
The publisher also promises "to treat our updates with greater care" in the future, since there's a tendency in a game as complex as Skyrim for a single fix to create new problems, as we saw this week. The focus of the team's bug-squashing efforts will be on "code side fixes... over data fixes" for now; for those who are wondering, "quest and balance issues" belong more on the data side.
In other words, in-game exploits that let you cheat your way to success are lame, but they're far LESS lame than any number of issues that could flat out break your experience and turn your 80-hour gamesave into a giant waste of time. That's the right mindset to have, I think.

Wow I have Skyrim for the ps3 and besides freezing once in awhile. I have no problems.

Ive had two bad glitches on the ps3. I was stuck in command mode with my companion had to kill her to turn it off. The other one is dragons run from me. Since the patch I have been unable to kill a dragon. I have tried everything i go to word walls they do their little yell and take off I never see them again

I must be lucky I have Skyrim on 360 and I barely have any bugs.

So far i have had a few minor glitches that didn't affect the gameplay that much. But i have also had 3 glitches that have completely halted me from getting further in some of the major quests. skyrim is a great game but right now the glitches are stopping itself from being what should be a landslide game of the year,

I've seen only one moon walking dragon on a wall north of Riftin. Other than that little issues here and there that haven't really taken away from the experience at all.

Haven't seen a moonwalking dragon yet but I've seen others. I still love the game,.

All I'm gonna say is I'll believe it when I see it. Problems like this are reasons why I'm skeptical about buying Bethesda games day one. Also, seeing as how I own a PS3, seeing stuff like this makes me doubly skeptical (seeing as how Bethesda doesn't seem to pay as much mind to their PS3 ports of anything as they do with other platforms).

actaully the only glitch i saw was when a section of the lake water in Riverwood dissappeared.

How about you actually build a brand new engine like you tols us you were instead of giving us Gamebryo 2.0.
Face it nobody believes for a second this nis a totally new engine, its the same old buggy mess we have come to expect from Bethesda.

How about actually making a brand new engine instead of gamebryo 2.0?
that would be a good start Bethesda.

No big problems on my XBOX360, so I'm happy with you Bethesda. Game is beautiful.

I don't experience that many glitches, but I still love skyrim!!!!!!
shaggysasquach
i would be ok with glitches. i can keep multiple save just to make sure i can go back if something like zombie dragons show up . what i dont get is how you have a giant story based game and they dont view BROKEN QUESTS as a priority! im stuck on the champions quest line and the thief guild because after finishing a quest the next one wont activate. this is a game braking glitch cause now i cant play any main quests or side quests and im tired of just hunting down bandit leaders.

Why I go with Naughty Dog.

Maybe they're finally figuring out that making the game run better is the most important part of a patch. If people want to use exploits, that's fine, it's a single player game so it doesn't matter. It's really a waste of resources to deal with that when you have a game where you can have quest stopping bug.

Bethesda: "We are going to take more care with our patches from now on".
Long Time Customer: *nod*
Bethesda: "Really".
Long Time Customer: "Mhmm..".
Bethesda: "Instead of getting our seperate patch team just to work on isolated fixes for things they seem to have a limited understanding of, we're actually going to get them to look into how fixing things can effect the bigger picture".
Long Time Customer: "So why is it that after so many years this is just happening now?"
Bethesda: *we didn't comment on that*
Long Time Customer: "Okay, well that sounds good anyways. So you're also saying patches should take longer since more care is being taken".
Bethesda: "No. A new patch will be out next week, and then another a few weeks later."
Long Time Customer: "Bu.. isn't that the regular expected schedule?"
Bethesda: *we didn't comment on that*
Point is this news offers no assurances or sign of change, just sounds like a clever PR spin on things to keep impatient customers happy while waiting.
I've already come to terms with how Bethesda works, so it's not that big of a deal and expect things to be fixed or fixed within reason eventually. But for those who havn't I see this as something that was pretty much put out just for them.

With a game as big as the elder scroll, there is going to be bugs. I don't blame Bethesda, it was bound to happen. It doesn't really bug me as long as my save files don't corrupt.

Well i loved my most recent glitch, I hit a Dragon with Dragonrend and when he landed he died and i gained the Dragaon souls well before i could get down to him. He was all bones and he got up and started flying and breathing fire towards me as if he were still alive. It was absolutley EPIC!!!!!!!!
crocodilius
