Skyrim Patch 1.3 Fixes Dragons, Buffs, Books

[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.

aaaaaaargh Skyrim has got to be the buggiest game IN THE WORLD, I still like it but I REALLY want to cure my character's lycanthropy!

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

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?

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

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...

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

so far no really notice the effects of the patch, tho they might have possibly patched the two minor ore vein bugs that´s been annoying me, I shall see once I find bigger gatherings of veins.

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

kinda, I had a instant where two flew over Dawnstar, one starting attacking, the other flew away.

I wanted to wait a few days before downloading this patch (see if it causes problems), but of course steam automatically updated the game the moment I turned steam on, even though I put it on "do not automatically update".

Ah well, I've grown used to Steam being shitty from time to time, I just hope this mod only brings improvements and doesn't mess stuff up (or break my mods).

 

[Scarlet Rook]

I'd have to say with this latest patch the water effects look even MORe beautiful now. The pools in Dragonreach actually LOOK and move like water, even so far as getting slightly cloudy to indicate depth. And performance has improved.

All in all I would like a HORSE pointer or at least the option to whistle for my horse and have him come trotting up.

snip

One: Skyrim is the hottest topic on the escapist right now

Two: Posting a story about it is guaranteed page views

Three: Escapist doesn't post specific news, they post what they think is cool or what they think needs to be read.

Besides, i'm not getting the game till Christmas (because i'm cheap and also spent my money on saints 3 instead, so I have to wait) and this is a convenient way for me to find out about the changes.

Quest items don't have weight even though the display says they do. Also you can hand the elder scroll to the librarian at the mages college.

If you are on the PC you can remove lycanthropy with these console commands. (from usep skyrim wiki)

Alternatively, if the quest chain is bugged for one reason or another, you can remove your Lycanthropy in a few steps with the console:

(Quoted text should be typed into the console without quotes)

1. "player.setstage F6090 0"
2. Save the game
3. Quit to main menu
4. Load the game you just saved
5. "player.setstage F6090 100"
6. "set PlayerIsWerewolf to 0"

I hope this helped : )

I do not take ANY responsibility for this as I have never tried it myself. If something nasty happens, don't blame me ; ) Although, I guess the usep wiki page is pretty reliable.

If you however own it on a console, I don't know any way to fix it : (

Yay, I might stop crashing every hour or so now! Maybe. Hopefully.

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.

Because last patch caused dragons to fly backwards.

Dragons.

Flying.

BACKWARDS.

 

[Alcamonic]

Better Core Duo support? Woho finally, thanks a lot!

Now... about the bug with all npc's acting totally none-immersive,

 

[ACman]

My best glitch so far was a group of mammoths falling from the sky.

 

[Jadak]

I kind of hope this patch doesn't create even more problems for Skyrim. Like making dragons spawn inside inns or something.

Still, that would totally be worth seeing at least once...
