Hey guys,

I got Skyrim on release date (ps3) and my experience was great so far until, like many others in this forum, the more I play the more I notice things like fps drops, delayed reaction on controls, etc (which totally ruins the immersion aspect for me). My first impression of "Wow, this game is incredible!" is quickly turning into "Uh oh, I hope this doesn't turn into a lagfest".

I'm the type of person that likes to stick with one character, and nothing beats the feeling of discovering and exploring uncharted territories for the first time. So, if they do come out with a patch that resolves the issues of fps, lag, etc. Do you think it will apply to our current characters already in the game? (is it possible) or Will we have to 'start from scratch' for the fix to take effect.

Skyrim is such an amazing game, I would hate to ruin my experience of continuing my character only to have to start fresh again once a patch is released. Cause discovering things and clearing dungeons probably won't have the same effect the second time around. So should I wait? or just keep playing in hopes that our current characters can be salvaged?

Thoughts?


For those interested:
Ps3 Slim
250gb HD (over 180gb free space)
after a few hours of playing I start to notice a slight difference in fps, still playable (I can only assume it will get worse the farther I go in-game. as im kinda taking things slow)

I have put my game on hold for the moment. Starting a new character (dont really mind, its a magnificent game) and trying to keep my game centered around whiterun, staying away from all of the other cities as i think the lag gets worse the more places you "disturb". Might be the case that you have to start over anyways once its patched though so i would save the rest of the experience until the patch is out if i were you.

sound's smart to my......
