So before the patch is released, i was one of the players who complained about having the lag issues due to the save files. After restarting a new character I discovered if i didnt touch the main quest at all (which involved recieiving the Dragonborn stone fromBleak Falls Barrow,) I did NOT lag throughout the game. i switched back and forth between my mage and my new account and bam, lag. im lvl 21 and 30hours in with a 9mb file on my new char. No lag issues. cept a small lag here there in white run. basically dont let the dragons have their ability to randomly ATTACK ANYWHERE

edit: havent tried patch yet lookin to do it,.

so it has to do with the dragons random actions AI and appearance? or is it merely linked ot it somehow? very interestign none the less.. and still soemthign that could have been avoided if it wasn't jsut a MERE PORT TO THE PS3 and was instead actually optimized to take advantage of the cell processors functions..

its not LAG its bad framerate or low FPS.

Lag is linked to latency and can ONLY occur when playing games online.

but back to the point.. I guess its worth starting a new game and ignoring the main quest line in order to play the game.
would like to play through it once though :/
