So is there a list of strategies somewhere to help minimize save bloat?

I'll give you a "strategy". Sell Skyrim and get a better game.

^ In a nutshell. I'd recomend Fall of Cybertron. I haven't gotten a chance to play today but the time I spent on it yesterday was quite fun. Not one glitch, not one hard reset, not one infinate loading screen... 1000% better already.

I keep Skyrim no bloat problem since 1.4 and not much to complain about in fairness I think most of the problems highlighted now is the fact people have had a bad experience for months before hand theres still a few things getting stuck in inventory but nothing drastic, I have over 400hrs on the save i use now and another 300hrs both with no problem both are from new games. Also a couple of 80hrs no problem yes I play the game alot but im just annoyed as I dont have much to do other than radient quests and find myself lately playing Fifa alot which is a buggy game itself that Iv noticed is worse than Skyrim.

But I dont exactly no what you guys are experiencing with the game but from my end with what im playing isnt any different from what xbox users are getting infact I see more bugs in Xbox version during quests.

Before 1.4 though god I felt like bringing the game to there studio and beating them with it.

And all I want is some info from them thats whats frustrating me now looking round net everyday for some news on Skyrim update and DLC.
