First off, Skyrim seems like a great game. Not quite what I expected after Oblivion, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I could elaborate more, but it's getting late so I will just have to state my problems:

1) Every 20 secs-2 mins, the game lags for a few seconds and then resumes. The sound continues as normal but the screen freezes up. I play the game in 1920x1080 resolution but lowered the other graphics options so the game flows pretty well. This lag keeps coming back though. Does it have to do with the graphics settings or is it something else?

2) While walking from Whiterun to Windhelm, an NPC called "Courier" came up to me on the road and said something like "You there, I have a message for y..." and then disappeared without explanation. Weird bug? Any fix to this?

3) Where do I download the 1.1 patch? I saw Gstaff's forum post, but I can't find where to actually download the file.

Thanks!

Sorry, have to bump this. This ended up on the 10th page in just 8 hours. I really need help with this.
