For the release day to be 2012 wouldn't they need to release on the 20th not 21st?
/pedant mode cancel
Not sure that shield charge ever worked, half the shield perk tree has no effect whatsoever. Removal of quest items is something that can't be fixed unless Bethesda find a way to retroactively patch the game as that bug is now part of your save file.
I'm not aware of any issues with Marked for Death so more information might help in suggesting a fix if we can think of one, same goes for your respawn issues, note that the cancelled 1.6 patch has a respawn fix, so provided that 1.7 actually happens at some point that might help.
Never seen an entire town freeze up, sounds like maybe the schedules for those NPCs is messed up, suggest uninstall/reinstall for that one and hope their schedules aren't saved in your save data as well.
Well I'm not sure, it's sometime around the 21st when 2012 is aupposed to happen.
Shield charge worked a bit for me, maybe I'll try without the targe, it was hella fun bowling over guards
And I obviously can't be 100% sure with MFD cuz I can't console command, but at least with PC it instead decreases resitance by te amount listed per second for the time it works, basically accumulates and doesn't wear off, which basically wrecks any followers you Accidently hit, supposedly a modder made a mod that all it does is check a tic into a box in the code somewhere and it fixes it all, do pretty much a bug that would take bethesda maybe 5 mins top, I'm pretty sure the big is ps3 too
Also the town thing fixed after two hard resets, froze during first reload
