I'm honestly both surprised and relieved that someone agrees with me about this. Posted something on SPUF about looking for a mod on PC that can fix this when I eventually get it for PC and had the majority of people in the thread tell me either "Lol PS3", that I deserved to die (even though I had full health?), or level up Smithing / Enchanting so my Light Armor was at the armor cap (I hate how ridiculous Smithing and Enchanting are in this game. Light Armor should not be able to hit the armor cap, as that takes away the main advantage of Heavy Armor). Some people actually read my post and responded thoughtfully, but most simply didn't. Glad the Escapist isn't quite as bad as SPUF when it comes to discussing this sort of thing.Podunk said:Ugh, the kill cams. They worked great in Fallout 3, and they will probably work for spells and ranged attacks, but they suck for melee. When you're fighting someone and the game shoves you into third person, it means one of two things- either you got a special kill on the enemy, or the enemy has mostly randomly decided to make you dead right now regardless of your health and the game said 'ok'. When there's a lot of shit going on and you're in a tense battle it's harrowing to see that slow-motion third person shot until you can make out exactly what's going on. Worse than that, the special kills are often worse to pull off than a regular attack. I remember sneaking up behind a bandit to backstab him while his friend slept nearby once. If I got the special kill off his friend would stand up and be poised to hack me once the game decided to give me back control. One axe to the head and loading of an autosave later, I found out that if I didn't trigger a special kill animation I could attack the second bandit while he was getting up!
It mentioned fixing that in the notes I think, something about allowing you to continue?Fappy said: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... :/
If you were doing that, you were doing it wrong. Leather Bracers were where it was at. *nods sagely*OhJohnNo said:Does this mean I won't be able to spam-upgrade my smithing by spamming Iron Daggers?
So, not all.Simonoly said: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?
I think Bethesda is not the only one to blame on the PS3 issues. People should probably take better care of their consoles to start off with. I play on PS3 and I've had lag twice. That's it. Both times I played more or less 15 hours straight and my PS3 was overheating. I ended the game, let the poor fat bastard cool down for awhile and the game was fine after that. Maybe people should vacuum their PS3's sometimes or place them differently, I don't know.Das Boot said:The reason I said that is because they have blatantly lied again and again about fixing bugs and people actually believe them. The most obvious one is the ps3 lag problem which they said they fixed two or three times and last I heard its still there. They are also spending time creating new animations and minor bug changes and ignoring the major issues people are having.
I was the same. My xbox 360 version was pretty much bug free apart from a bunch of miscellaneous quests that I can't complete or have completed but still remain in the quest log. The majority of bugs are quite variable, but that's not what I was getting at. I was talking about the bugs that are present in all copies of Skyrim due to what appears to be programming errors. Such as the inability to get the Dragon Infusion perk from Esbern. Have you been able to get the Dragon Infusion perk on your xbox 360 version? I could only get it via console commands on my PC version. Also were you able to get the imperial decree for the Missing in Action quest? I couldn't even get that with console commands.CyanideSandwich said:Why do people keep going on about glitches??

There is isn't there? I remember seeing the gameplay slot in the options menu an option to turn kill cams off. Did you not see that?Chairman Miaow said: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
I don't remember there being one, but I haven't played it since release, I was unfortunately really dissappointed with it, just doesn't suck me in like the other Elder Scrolls games did.ServebotFrank said:There is isn't there?

Yes, I was able to get the Dragon Infusion perk, no problem. I haven't done the Missing In Action quest, though.Simonoly said:I was the same.

Really? You're literally the first person I know of who has been able to get that perk (I scoured countless forums to no avail). Does it show up in your list of active effects in the magic menu? For me, Esbern always says he is giving me the perk but then I never actually receive anything. He does the exact same thing on my PC version and I have to use console commands to correct it. So you never updated with any of the patches? I'm genuinely quite interested to see if that's the cause. Sorry, I will try not to throw 20 questions your way!CyanideSandwich said:Yes, I was able to get the Dragon Infusion perk, no problem.

Yeah, it shows up. "Dragons do 25% less melee damage." That's it, right? I had no idea this was a problem. I knew the game glitched on the PC version, but I didn't know there was something that no-one got on console or PC. I haven't really been on forums and such other than the odd bit of help here and there, and I've skipped everything including glitches because I figured it was only a PC thing. I don't know what's different about my copy though. Just got lucky, I guess.Simonoly said:Really?
