Yow

For MMOs I can see the requirement that you HAVE to have the current patch to play on line but... Skyrim doesn't have that inherent requirement.

Luckily the one big bug in it won't affect me because I have zero magic resistance as it is :/ Though I'm trying to mage myself up some. Hopefully that'll be fixed before I need it.

While there are a lot of positives about Steam, this kind of thing is a serious negative (Can't play on your laptop on the train? WHY NOT?

I saw the mod on Skyrim Nexus. Look at the most popular downloads or search for "whistle".

If I add the whistle, it'll be three things I modded for my horse in total I got a better looking skin and the Essential Character option. I think riding the horse around really makes the game in a lot of ways, but it needs a bit of help to not be a constant pain.

Ooooh if you could only do ranged attacks from horseback!

Well maybe it's just me, but I swear the graphics got tuned up, to me, everything now looks livelier. Haven't noticed any other issues, well, I still got a CTD! And the dragons I killed at Winterhold College are still hanging around. In this screenshot there are 4 of them...



Other than that I guess I need to look over that patch and see what was in there. BTW I'm getting this on the link posted by fseal....

Anyway here's a repost of the link (same link?) - Skyrim 1.2 update | Bethesda Blog - Don't know why fseal's give page not found, but mine doesn't

The dragon carcases are actually supposed to hang around. According to Bethesda, the last 15 kills remain in world always. Then when you kill another one, the oldest will disappear. Like most everything else... I see stuff that I killed like weeks ago in game time, you think the wolves and buzzards would have cleaned that all up by now

Character resistances no longer work!

Edit - You know, after reading this News: Skyrim 1.2 patch breaks Resistances, makes dragons fly backwards - ComputerAndVideoGames.com article I have to say I did experience an issue where a frost dragon nearly killed me. Thought I didn't have any frost gear on, checked and I did, but it made no difference and my health drained to near fatal levels. Hmmm.... seems my magical frost boots don't protect like the did BEFORE the patch. Oh boy....

According to numerous posts on the official Bethesda forum, character resistances no longer work in post-patch Skyrim. Resistances are enchanted gear, race bonuses and perks that grant players protection from harmful effects such as fire, ice, magic, diseases and poisons.

I can definitely say I've seen this one at work

Please get a patch out to fix the patch ASAP. Holly crap

 

[Alsisgevat]

Well I played for just over an hour, I fast traveled to 9 different old dragon spots, and killed each dragon, none of them flew away in reverse as some comments about the new patch say, also killed an blood dragon and elder dragon while just running around, they did not ignore me and attacked right away. I also got no CTD's, no errors, no arrows not vanishing or purple armor. All my dragon carcases disolved as they should, i finished 4 side quist and 2 main ones just to see what will happen, and I bought a house and nothing went wrong, everything runs super smooth and no glitches or errors.I geuss I am one of the lucky ones, cause if I had to review the patch I would say it's perfect, and it definatly upgraded the game.

I can understand that to a point, but if the dragon burns away the way the images show, then the carcass dwindled to ashes. With regards to getting the dragon bones killing the dragon, well you can dig what’s left of them out of the ashes, just like you loot other characters whom you reduced to… ashes.

At any rate it gets cluttered in that area and doesn't look right for the game. It's one thing to have the bones lying about in the wide open expanse, it's another to have them cluttering up tight spaces - especially when the wind blows them in front of the door, and people walking right through them like they’re not even there

If nothing else after so many days have them fade away.

 

[fseal]

I actually read about the 15 dragons thing because apparently, originally, they NEVER wet away. And after a while the entire world was just filled with dragon carcases so they had to limit it to the last 15

I agree, having all the bodies disappear after say 7 game days would be better.

 

[Airbot]

I did finally have one dragon not burn up and give me it's soul last night, but it was only because I didn't get the last blow in on him. He flew farther away and a giant killed him with the last blow, so when I got there to him being dead, he didn't do the normal burn up.

That was before the patch though.


I do seem to have quite a bit of dragons semi ignoring me after engagement and flying off to other areas or just completely flying off throughout the game. Which it wasn't like that near beginning play of the game.

Also a few times have been killed by an Elder dragon twice. Come back the third time , and he's now a Blood dragon instead of an Elder. Not sure what that's about.


Also now that you mention it, did notice the last dragon killed me quite easily after the patch was applied. Have to test out whether my resistances are ruined now from the patch. :huh:

 

[panais]

I will stop reading this thread because is spoiler for me.

Im a slow gamer.

 

[fseal]

A tremendous amount of the game is randomised when it is "rezed". Locks, chest contents, dragons etc. I notice it a lot, especially with locks, if for some reason you die in a cave and didn't save after your last lock pick, the location of the sweet spot will change, and the amount of gold and random jewels (While other items remain constant).

Oh and random enemies along the road

It's all the rage here - UPDATE 1.2 LIVE! (USA) - Bethesda Softworks Forums - Page 2

Yeah we (I) try not to post spoiler materail but anytime you're discussing a game, something is bound to come out. It happens. I've found myself turning away from certain posts here to keep from reading the spoiler material. I know I've been guilty of this as well so.

Anyway it would be nice to keep the spoiler material to a minimal, or a least warn of such material being posted.

I've noticed that the dragons that don't burn away for me seem to be the ones that are around the word wall peaks ( the places with the dragon heads for markers..)

Other than that, I'm running the new patch, using the 4Gb mod, a ton of graphic mods, the beta driver from Nvidia... 20 mins of playing an nothing unusual, Other than a chest already open with the contents laying inside. FPS is in the 60's with everything on ultra or high.

Oh... and TAB doesn't take me out of menu's anymore... *******s.. I had just gotten used to that!!

 

[vierasniper]

the patch notes talk about the rare occasion were dragons wouldn't attack lol. RARE? they ignored me in my mage play trough. i was squishy enough, but i guess its the dragons loss

 

[Gromit1710]

So I take back a little of my last post.

My armor doesn't seem as effective any more.

I got my butt handed to me by 2 Drugar deathlords with nothing special. My health drained faster than I've ever seen it!

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah I thought it was just enchanted armor that lost its potency but I just read an article saying some folks ere saying the character itself has been weakened by the patch.

All I know is that a Dragon nearly took me out pretty easily. I saw my health bar drop to near nothing where prior to the patch I wouldn't have lost a quarter of what I lost on that one shot

Here's the article - Did the Skyrim Patch Make Things Better? Or Worse?

According to other forum members, post-patch, there are still memory issues, frame rate problems, a bookcase bug, the ability to use weapon racks, the inability to place items on tables, decreased character strength, and many more.

Bethesda needs to explain or fix this one, quick.
