Skyrim Patch Makes Dragons Fly Backwards
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
I haven't run into any problems other then the usual 'Radiant AI' and path-finding bugs, on the ps3 here.
suppose, There was one time, upon helping someone defeat dragon priest 'Vokun' The NPC froze in place, and acted as if in battle.
After a spot of adventuring, they were following me again. So I backtracked to the dungeon, where there was now a big hovering arrow over the scroll they watned, which I had missed.
Despite the fact she stood 10 inches from it, she wanted me to pick it up and then hand it to her.
It's cool though, the whole adventure granted me 'call storm' shout.

Well the patch fixed my major game-breaking glitch whereby I couldn't continue the thieves guild quest, so I'm quite happy.
Because the game's flaws come mostly from its massive size.blizzaradragon said:
I don't think there's a game as big as skyrim, but with as much detail put into it. There's just so much to do and so many things in the game, you have to expect bugs.
Every game has a small amount of bugs, and most games don't come close to the size of skyrim, so it makes sense that skyrim would have more bugs.
Besides, for me the game runs perfectly. There haven't been any game-breaking bugs, heck i can't even remember if Ive seen any bugs at all off the top of my head.
I strongly suggest to keep Steam offline until there is a patch for the patch, to patch up and fix whatever new weirdness that patch introduced. Maybe it's a PS3 exclusive, but I know my bugs and glitches by now, and I really don't feel like having any of my dragons do any weird stuff beyond not wanting to fight.Wolfram01 said:
For a lot of people I'm sure the patch worked fine. They do seem to have a history of skimping on testing though, fixing it for some and breaking it for others isn't good enough.
Well now I'm glad I only rented it instead of bought it. Maybe by the time I can afford it, they've have this all fixed and I can go and kick some more forward-flying dragon ass.
From one-and-a-half playthroughs on PC, I can share my bugs:Burst6 said:
- cannot complete quests because quest giver seems to have forgotten about them
- cannot complete quests because target actor ("NPC") is either dead, missing or recently munched on by a dragon, and the engine didn't register the loss. Quest broken.
- cannot continue main story line, because I somehow managed to miss the cue to enter that door/portal/hole/whatever right then, right there. Only ways to "fix" are cheating on progress in console, resetting quest in console or beaming myself to the other side of never-opening gateway through no-clip mode.
- inventory full of crap that belongs to quests that were obviously never implemented properly (I carry around a lot of instruments no one wants)
- horse dying often and quickly, by showing the behaviour of a mountain lion, minus fangs and claws, without being able to tell it to stop and go away, far far away.
etc.
On PS3, I could so far witness the lag of doom. It makes the PS3 look very, very old. At least it doesn't make the PS3 look broken, as Fallout 3 did.
Wow.. maybe it's just the consoles then.Headdrivehardscrew said:
The PC version works perfectly for me. I have it on high graphics and i even downloaded extra textures to make it look better. Mine still runs really well. No bugs or anything.
Also for the last two problems,
-what instruments are you talking about? Did you decide to pick up every lute you see hoping that someone would take it? Or did you take every single cup in the world in hopes that there's a quest where a needy person needs help opening a cup store?
-I never use horses anyway, except for Shadowmere. He's awesome (and invincible). The deathwish horses aren't a bug, but more of an annoying feature.
Skyrim GOTY Edition seems like a really great investment to me right now. I'm picking up Skyward Sword soon to help tide me over until Mass Effect 3.
I have almost 180hrs into Skyrim and so far all I have run into is a few random bits of lag that didn't last longer than a few seconds and one dragon with a weird texture issue. I patched it last night (playing on the 360) and so far I haven't seen much of a difference really. I am a little disappointed they didn't fix the texture scaling, but I will survive.
