Skyrim Patch 1.2 is Out and Uh...Well


Skyrim patch 1.2 came out yesterday and it's unknown if it solved all the issues but unfortunately the initial reports indicated that it brought a slew of issues with it that in many ways make the game worse post-patch. The two big things that have been noticed are the dragons flying backwards and resistance has not been nerfed - it's been nuked.

In other words, no resistance (vs. frost, fire, disease, etc.) works in the game at all; not for you, not for NPCs, monsters, etc. So you can use fire on Flame Atronachs to your heart's desire and it will kill them as surely as frost, but on the other hand if you have armor that gives you some sort of elemental resistance you're screwed if you mean to use it.

Bethesda has long had issues with bugs and glitches (remember the Fallout 3 DLC debacle?) and it looks like the trend is continuing - at least for now. Players can easily play The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim offline for now and deal with the pre-patch issues if they don't want to deal with the backwards-flying dragons and lack of resistance, but that hardly seems like a solution. Time will tell what Bethesda will do to satisfy Skyrim players.

This is kind of sad. People PAY for this game. Get your shit together Bethesda.

exactly, people payed for THIS game; as is. they didnt buy the updates that werent even promised to you for buying the game. if you dont like the product, then dont buy it.

Don't be a dick, faggot. The devs nowadays are LAZY and don't even beta test before releasing games anymore, they just ship it when they hit the deadline, and patch it later.

+1

So in other words if you purchased a game that was basically non-functional then you'd be happy with it because you bought the game as is? I realise that's taking it to the extreme but I don't think it's too much to ask that the game functions correctly. Skyrim certainly doesn't feel rushed out but it's their responsibility to fix the bugs, ideally that should be done prior to release, but we don't live in an ideal world.

I was hoping for the fix of certain quests being broken randomly.  For instance, I run the stormcloak line with one character and there is no way to complete it since the next step guy just looks at me and nods instead of advancing the quest line, but with another character it works fine..... happened too many times to count now.....

i wouldnt hold my breath. they still havent fixed hundreds of issues with fallout new vegas. i have to go to user forums to fix my broken quests because bethesdas patches are worthless.

I HAVE EXPECTED ALOT MORE FROM THIS GAME. I DIDN'T PIRATE IT ,SO I EXPECT THE BEST.   THIS MAKES ME WANT TO PIRATE GAMES.

I did, and worth every KB of bandwidth. :)
