Skyrim Patch 1.3 Fixes Dragons, Buffs, Books

[Sniper Team 4]

Yay. Fix the thieves guild quest and then I'm perfectly happy. Because then, I can get my last three trophies. Still, it will be nice to be able to fight dragons again.

What's wrong with the Thieves' Guild quests?

See, this is funny because someone said there was something wrong and I asked them what was wrong.

Anyway, apparently the thieves guild is bugged six ways to Sunday. Can't complete certain quests, characters aren't doing what they need to do, items don't show up, etc. Of course, I don't know if any of that is true because, for me, I couldn't even start it. There's a guy who tells you to meet him down in the Ratway in order to join the guild. Problem is, he's still standing around 'distracting' everyone from my test. And everyone is still being distracted. For DAYS. Half the town of Riften is now stuck in the market place, staring at this one man. So yeah, I couldn't get the quest started, couldn't join the guild, couldn't get trophies, no platinum. Hoping on my next playthrough it won't bug out like that.

Optimized my cpu and fixed the y-axis? Christmas came early!

Im on PC and the most annoying bug for me is missing textures. Especially in archmage robes. I have no knees, and some masks make my entire face disappear. Which was cool for a while. But i kind of miss having a head.

Hmmm sounds like I'm going to start to think about buying it soon... I really want to play Skyrim but I would prefer if I didn't have to report more bugs than a Beta tester... It sorta ruins the fun... Not that I've seen any "really" bad bugs whilst testing it but still I really want the face to get "non--blocky" by default to begin with...

And I wonder if Bethesda is going to release a "HD textures" patch some of them are somewhat low...

And yes I want to have this by default even though there is modds for it....

So few quest fixes other than radiant. That's disappointing. Still nothing on thieves guild too extremely disappointing.

I can't wait until modders start making unofficial patches for this game.

I'll be so glad when I can play the game again without worry about the issues ruining it. For me every time a dragon was anywhere around, as in, even super far in visual range doing its backwards flying, teleporting around, or just hovering in place, the game would suddenly turn super laggy with a sputtering visual like 1 frame rate. Half the time I push any buttons nothing happens, and it would just continue on till the game and my 360 froze and nothing could be done without forcing my system to power down by holding the power button. This was beyond just a simple bug issue obviously, this was totally game breaking making it fully unusable.

Listen, I get that Skyrim is the hottest game on the planet right now. I haven't gotten my hands on it, but I'm aware it's incredible. I'm not saying nobody should enjoy it or anything, but why is this front-page news on The Escapist? It's a patch. Not a day goes by without some popular game getting a patch. You can pretty much always find the patch notes either linked in the launcher, or on their website, or on Steam if the game is available there. You don't see patch notes for any other game show up unless they cause some unintended side effect, so why is it that Skyrim gets special treatment and EVERYONE MUST KNOW that a whopping 7 things changed? I play League of Legends and Terraria, both of which just underwent MASSIVE changes in their most recent patches, but I wouldn't expect or really want them showing up here because I already know about them. This isn't news, and it just isn't that important to anyone who didn't already know there was a Skyrim patch out.

I really hate to be such a sour guy about this, but it bugs me that something like this hits the front page when much more interesting are probably happening in the world of gaming, but instead I'm being told that a game - big shock here - got PATCHED! Again, I get that Skyrim is pretty much the biggest game out there right now, but this just isn't news, especially since it doesn't look like they did anything beyond bug fixes.

btw the dragon in the video i can pretty much say ALWAYS bugs out.

it normally sleeps on the word wall in that area. with all the steam vents and pools. however ever since 1.2 that particular dragon is a 100% backwards flyer for me. the few people i have partyed with over XBL while they were playing skyrim also got the same location and the same backwards flying dragon..


the weird thing is that if you use the Dragon call shout that summons a dragon to fight for you, that dragon has no problem flying straight...

Thanks the Nine, the problem isn't about the backward flying dragon... it's the fact that they REFUSE TO LAND, and with out them landing (in my case, they were pushed away ba an invisible force field, when in fact they want to come down to kick my ass...) I can't kill them! they just kept flying away! and when I did find them in air not moving (it's got to be a bug) I shoot them with magics, till their health are gone... but again... they don't land, they can't die... so I end up with a flying dragon with no health.... i think the dev had already decided that we MUST kill the dragons on the ground... there is no air death to these creatures!

the warewolf thing? you can't? there is a mission you can do to cure it forever (but why would you?).

 

[jawakiller]

I killed an invisible dragon... Can I have a cookie now?

I even pulled a two-handed finisher in the wraith. So I was floating for a bit.

So I can become a vampire and no I can't, I've helped out all the others to cure themselves, and I've got the witch's head, but when I activate the flame NOTHING HAPPENS!!!

 

[Luciano Silva]

I really really really regret buying skyrim on PS3 -_-

 

[Thewalis]

Has anyone else been fighting a dragon and then had another one come to join the party?

 

[chaosyoshimage]

Dear Bethesda,

Let me bank the Elder Scroll (weight 20!), Stones of Berenzia and all the redundant quest items I have that I've already completed the quest for (bard instruments, books, etc).

I want my inventory space back. You can keep your backwards dragons and flying goats.

Give the Scroll to the

Spoiler

Orc at the College of Winterhold.

. As for the rest, I don't think they actually take up any space, they just say they do. I off loaded all my stuff the other day to reorganize everything and my weight said 0 despite having a bunch of Stones of Berenzia, Finn's Lute (Which for some reason wasn't removed from my inventory like you said), and maybe a couple of other quest items.

um... I am not there yet... I need my PHD in Destruction first... Companions can wait... (so does Great Beard, he goes after that even...) PLEASE NO SPOILERS! ><

it's a bug then... dang... does this happen to anyone else? or just you? or do you have a save? to go back to? I save every five hours or so... you should start doing that... so you can back track to your timeline... it's very helpful in games with many bugs, and games where you are not so sure if your investment of certain skill/stats/perks really are something you can benefit from till you have used and upgraded fully...

the game it self auto saves for 3 events prior from sleeping/room entering i think...

 

[silasbufu]

Aw come on..
That dragon just didn't want to fight you and wanted to be friends :] Is that so wrong ?

Seriously though, I didn't find any bug in about 50-60 hours of gameplay . ANY bugs. So it was a good thing I guess, because that's the reason I didn't install the 1.2 Patch.

...

Oh yeah I forgot

...and then I took an arrow in the knee. There, now it has the Skyrim Thread Seal of Approval
