Just started a new Argonian mage character last night and this gets announced...

So I suppose this will leave my save game defunct once it's patched up, and I'll have to start again (again!).....

Don't worry, by the time we actually GET 1.7, you'll probably have already done everything you wanted to do with your Argonian mage anyway.

hahaha, I started a Khajiit mage when 1.6 was announced. He reached the end of his lifespan, 10mb savefile. Now it lags. I have to send him to deleted file hell
