So 1.7 has no quest fixes at all?

Post » Sun Jul 29, 2012 9:58 pm

Really, Bethesda? I'm a really devoted fan and even I'm scratching my head over that. So can we assume that we've seen the end of any official quest fixes?

I think there are some fixes here and here which aren't written.
You see , with the 1.5 update there was a bug in which you get CTD when you enter the Main Menu after playing.
It wasn't noticed but was fixed :D

Does it fix the glitch where spells absorption causes you to absorb your own conjuration spells? That is the #1 glitch I want fixed. It is really annoying for my character with 80% spell absorption.

CTD stands for "crash to desktop"

lol, I meant the acronym. I found it. Crashed to desktop. I'm not a PC player so I was unfamiliar with the term.

It was a relatively small patch yes, but it did fix some important stuff, like the dialogue bug on the PC (which obviously doesn't affect everyone).

As far as quest fixes go, I'm not really sure. I personally haven't come across any quests that have ever been hopelessly broken, so I can't really see how many more are needed (fully aware that some peoples experiences are different than my own).

I'm also not really sure how many more patches we're going to see as a whole. I don't think I've ever seen a game patched beyond the 2.0 barrier.

CTD means 'Crash To Desktop'.

Here's the sticky with the bug fixes listed. It's from the tech forum for the 360 (though I assume it was posted in all of them).

IIRC 1.7's only meaningful fixes are for the Xbox360, when PS3 should be getting fixes.

Come on, Bethesda.

It was a lot of Kinect fixes, so "meaningful" might be pushing it a bit.

Good concept, the tech just still isn't there yet.

Since Im a lucky guy who played the game entirely 3 times (playing it a 4th time now) with barely no bugs and no CTD′s (on pc) I am VERY grateful of the parches, specially with Mounted Combat, that one made the game for me.
But well, I understand the ones who are suffering at the sitgh of a "thin" patch. I just hope that, there are much more on that patch, or more patchs that will come after.

Oh the tech is there, people just haven't fully utilized it. The same could be said for Bethesda with the 360/PS3. Why does Oblivion look like it does, yet Skyrim looks infinitely better? It was built for the same console.

It's more than just the quest fixes. Quest items still stuck in inventory, ash piles no longer cleaning properly, alchemy lab can't be purchased in Whiterun with DG installed, and so many others. None of those were addressed.

In my current game, I still have a misc. quest to

retrieve a fragment of Wuuthrad even though the weapon is currently on one of my weapon racks.

1.06 on PS3 is 8 weeks overdue. And honestly I have no confidence that Beth will release 1.07 on PS3 either.

I have a misc. objective log that is a mile long, that can not be cleared. Because of this, innkeepers, Stewards and others will no longer give me the dialouge option to take on bounties etc. Frustrating as hell, as the only quest I have left is the Stones of Barenziah.

Not to mention dead bodies that never go away. Hell, Ulfric Stormcloak and his general lie dead in the main hall, while everyone just sits around eating...WTF?

Sadly the list goes on and on...(PS3)

The "update" from Gstaff sounds eerily like a death knell for the PS3.

I'm seriously hoping for a big quest fix patch. As far as I can tell, Beth has fixed a large number of bugged quests and items, so I'm hoping the are able to finish up all the remaining bugs. I have been waiting for them to fix the attunement sphere and Gallus' encoded journal so I can finish those questlines without picking up bugged items.

I also am hopeful that Beth has some unannounced bug fixes in 1.7. I don't think they list every single change or fix in their patch notes, so I'm hopeful 1.7 might have a few nice surprises.

As I've said before, don't expect any more fixes for the base game. Bethesda considers it done.

Was that a statement or a question? I'm not convinced there will ever be a v1.6 for PS3. or a Dawnguard, for that matter.

That's it?! Hmm...

I think the tech is there....it's just that kinect is low-end of it. We aren't spending $5000 on consoles....they are only in the $hundreds range.

When is this patch to be released?
