Thanks

I still can't get the 'Blood on the Ice' quest to trigger and still can't purchase a home in Windhelm. Also, another annoying bug I keep coming across is with ice wraiths. It doesn't happen every time, but half of the time, their corpses get stuck in mid air and I can't reach them in order to loot them. It's taking me longer to collect their teeth for the 'Ice Cold' quest.

I hate to repeat what everyone else is saying, but maybe if more of us say it they will work on it more. I'm still experiencing all of the pre-patch problems I had.
- Slight lag after multiple hours
- Weapon racks and wall mounts not working in Whiterun and Solitude (dont know about others but they work in Riften)
- Mannequins disappear when outfitted
- Cannot complete the Thane of Riften quest because the Jarl does not have a dialog option
None of that stuff bothered me too much, but now there is more
- Game crashes almost every time I play more than a couple of hours, causing save to corrupt (whether it crashes while its saving or not)
- Some textures not loading, especially on dragons
- Shouts not working
- Increased lag during action when there wasn't necessarily before
- Books not appearing on bookshelf but taking up the space, and I am unable to remove them.
- Reloading issues where merchants' money does not reset after selling items before the reload
I know I probably haven't added anything new, but I just wanted to at least put what I was dealing with on here.

i was just doing the "forsworn conspiracy" mission, and when i went back to meet Eltry, he was dead with 3 guards just standing there, one says to me that i should join the imperial legion and walks away leaving 2 guards standing onfront of Eltry's dead body...... i googled and its a known bug, and says to wait 24 hours in the room to continue the mission, but it didnt work.......

not that bothered though..... im getting very bored of this game now

Here a list of my bugs I've encountered. And they're starting to add up to the point the game is becoming unplayable, literally as I'm now unable to finish most missions either main or other.

Guards at Markarth always trying to arrest me. (Any/All the time/missions)
Karliah won't go to Ragged Flagon (The Pursuit).
a Stolen Flawless Ruby missing from my inventory (shill job).
Can talk to Delvin, becuase I can't finish "The Pursuit". (Numbers job)
Can't catch the murder. I've tried talking to him, killing him, etc. nothing works. (Blood on the ice)
Delvin won't talk to me about the bother hood. (Where you hang your enemys head)
I can talk to Ulfric stormcloak, he attacks me on sight. (Liberation of skyrim)
The elder scroll is stuck in my inventory.
The "Stone of Barenziah" won't stack, except for 2 of them, meaning I now have 10 of them with 9 on the list and 1 has a (2) next to it.
Dragons respawn over the "College of Winterhold" ever 3rd fast travel.
Farkas tries to attack me every few seconds, but opens up a talk dialog. (When in sight of him)
Invisibility is being undone by the shadow warrior perk.




... And the list is growing !

Smaller just annyoying things:

Shadowmere seems to randomly die, then if a fast travel about 12 time or wait at a town for a few days. Shadowmere is alive again where she died.

More updates added. Going to need to start a part II for this soon I'm thinking. might be running out of room in the original post

I bought the house in Windhelm (Hijerim) after I completed the butcher quest. When I chose to decorate the house, one of the options was “clean up that murderer’s mess” which I passed over, buying the other items. After that first time, the dialog option for cleaning never appeared again, so my house is perpetually covered in blood and skeleton parts.

edit: I'm a PC player, didn't notice I was in the PS3 forum. Maybe it still applies?

Magic Resistance, completely gone!

In Blackreach, the game freezes after the patch. I restored a previous save at the beginning of Blackreach, and even one before entering... I can run about 1/4 way in...then instant freeze.

In the Whiterun house. Furniture disappears and the house looks like it got ransacked by thieves.

And as previously noted... magic resistance is totally gone.

- red eagle quest respawns every time i read the book
- door of obilivion book respawns every time you search the skeleton on the alter at mount anthor
- can't finish the misc bounty kill giant quest says return to skald in dawnstar for the bounty however i have collected it and the option has disappeared.

In misc quest : Find Hrolfdir's shield for igmund - is no where to be found, it doesn't even exist, i looked in others forums and it appears others have this issue too. (in result i cannot buy the house in Markarth)

In normal quest: Purity : Cleanse Vilkas of beastblood - he doesn't follow me to the Tomb of Ysgramar to cleanse him, so i can't complete the quest.

some items cannot be dropped : I got two amulet of talos, apparently in Solitude when you loot the corpse of the person executed (don't remember his name) you cannot drop the amulet anymore its been confirmed in others forums has well.

now i'm not sure about this one, if is a bug or not, so i killed the Glenmoril Witch's about 2-3 weeks in (game time) and they didn't respawn since, and i needed to kill them again for completing the quest Purity, because they didn't respawn i had to look where i dropped those heads to cleanse Farkas, >_< aren't creeps suppose to spawn after a week? or something? again i'm not sure if is a bug or if is intentional.

It is not as lag as before but it is still lag
it is much better than before if you compare with the previous version
But if you compare it with other PS3 games, it is unacceptable.
Also, before the patch, skyrim crash rarely.
After the patch, it may crash at anytime, anywhere, either you leave a house, wear an armor, shout to a dragon...
before the patch, if you reboot ps3 after 2 hours gameplay, it will be totally fine,
although the framerate issue is half-solved now, I still need to reboot it and more frequently and I might lost my progress..
and many quest still cannot tigger, I cannot become throne of riften although I purchase the honeyside, when I return to Jarl, she just act like I didn't pay 8000g and thousands of gold to decorate..

Got a few things i've noticed:

-Dragon's overall behavior seems glitchy. Their flight patterns seem erratic, I saw one near winterhold flying sideways as if it were strifing. Another I saw was performing almost 90 degree turns on the spot. Looked very "un-natural".

-Quite often when in battle with a Dragon they will just keep flying upwards and not come down for a long time. This was happening for me before patch 2.01 also. (Just fyi, funnily enough I haven't seen any Dragons flying BACKWARDS yet. Will let you all know if/when I do.)

-Dragon infusion perk gained from Esbern's potion doesn't seem to have any effect, and the quest remains uncompleted.

Last night I had my first backwards dragon. The thing would never land, and it flew very erratically, and totally backwards. I was even able to aggro it, and it still never landed. I had to walk away. Eventually it landed though, after I had come back to the area about an hour later.

Pasted from another thread since I'm lazy:

Quest: In My Time of Need

If you side with the girl, and kill the Redguard warriors & leader, you'll later find two redguard warriors lurking just inside the entrance to Whiterun. They appear to be the ones that start the quest chain by getting refused entry to the town. They won't respond to chat, never move or leave, and the area starts to lag badly with them present.

Conversely, if you choose to side with the Redguards, their leader sometimes shows up alone when you prepare the ambush. All his followers freeze up in their lair and become un-responsive. This can cause the quest to be impossible to complete

Quest: Bounty (Dragon Slaying for Jarl of Dawnstar)

After killing the dragon and 'handing in' the quest to the Jarl, you are given the bounty of 500g but there is no 'quest complete' message, and the quest remains in your log permanently. Apparently you can then receive the quest again multiple times, causing it to 'flood' your quest list with no way to complete/remove it.


Quest: Waking Nightmare

If you enter the ruins with a (paid for) companion, he is forced to stay outside. If you then go back outside and tell him to go home, he tells you he can be re-hired for free, and 'you know where to find me'. However, he does not return home - instead he lurks in the area fighting snowcats, and if you re-hire, you'll be charged again - even though he remembers you.


Quest: Forbidden Legend

Inside one of the three dungeons, I think it was Folgunthur, there is a puzzle with four levers and a series of gates. I believe the combination is generated when you enter the dungeon. It is possible for a 'bad' combination to occur, ie it is impossible to have all the gates open at once and thus you cannot proceed or complete the quest. The only way to fix it is to reload a saved game from before entering the dungeon (the auto-save on entry is 'too late') and hope for the best.

edit: To any of the people with really serious issues, ie constant lag, frequent crashes, odd dragon behaviour etc: Have you tried a full re-install of the game and playing with a new character? The design of the game makes it very hard for patches to fix existing problems on a save file, and with hundreds of hours logged I've only had 2 crashes and none of this other stuff. Not questioning anyone's comments, just curious.

After the patch, the lag issue somewhat improved, but now I've encountered problems I didn't encounter before the patch:

- I can't absorb some dragon souls (specifically frost dragons, I've only met 1 elder dragon since the patch, which i was able to absorb), their skin remains intact and they don't turn into skeletons
- Weapons on weapon plaques disappear and some weapon plaques can't be interacted with.
- The companions quests (purity, totems of hircine) are severely glitched, they don't trigger even after you complete a massive amount of the miscellaneous quests they give you.
- The quest purity will complete itself if you accept Vilkas' first, however Farkas doesn't give out quests (mysteriously fixed itself after I went and did another mission)

OP, this is as a result of having both quests "Join the Stormcloaks" and "Season Unending" at the same time. Galmer and Ulfric cease to give any dialogue options at all, so neither quest can be completed.

Galmer continues to deliver a line about "I can't believe you convinced Ulfric to attend a peace conference" and Ulfric continues to deliver a line about completing Galmer's task.

The thieves guild glitch after loud and clear is different than what you wrote. Maven can be found but she has nothing to say, the quest isn't activated or showing up in log.

Game of the Year, huh?

I'm putting this game away until it gets fixed, but I wanted to chime in and talk about the glitches I've seen-

1) Post-patch, all my armor and resistances seem to have stopped working (this kills the game, pretty much)
2) Dragons flying backwards on both my saves *and* my brother's saves (different profiles on the same PS3). I had a dragon flying around backwards and sideways, and getting hung up on the tops of mountains. The pathing on the AI was bad before, but now? Yeesh.
3) I have broken quests that won't turn in, and items I can't remove from inventory even after the quests have been accomplished.

I was actually very happy with this game last week, and couldn't sing its praises high enough. After this patch, I can't even play it. I'm very unhappy, and I regret purchasing a Bethesda game on release. I should have known better, as Bethesda haven't delivered a working game on release since before Daggerfall. I only bought Skyrim when I heard so many good things about it and so little in the way of bugs. Now? It's broken.

I don't know if I'll have to restart the game, but if so, I'm pretty much done. I've put over 40 hours into this game before the patch broke it. I feel ripped off, again. Skyrim would be *exactly* the kind of game I would want to play, if it weren't a broken mess. If Bethesda has a return option for their games, I'd like to know about it, because I'm tired of paying them money to participate in beta-testing a broken game. I should have waited for the so-called "Game of the Year" edition that will inevitably come out a year from now... where (hopefully) all these problems will be sorted out by players with more patience than I have.

Well here is some proof of the game that still lags

As for the problems some of them got official at last

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/327951/skyrim-12-patch-breaks-resistances-makes-dragons-fly-backwards/

I'm also shelving the game until something is done. No magic reistance and so many broken quests is unacceptable. At the very least there should be an official channel for reporting these things, with Bethesda keeping a list of acknowledged issues so that A- we know they know about them and B- we have some hope that they'll be fixed.

I wish they'd enable the 'console' that PC players can access on the Xbox/PS3 versions. At least then we could fix a lot of things ourselves in the meantime and actually get some enjoyment out of this mess.

Mods lock this thread please, running out of room on the original post. going to start a new thread where I can fit the list into 2 posts

May I suggest that you list the quest-related bugs seperately from the more technical issues? The former simply require tweaking in the TES editor whilst the latter are a very different kettle of fish...

Yes indeed. Good idea. I'll have three replies on the new thread to break it up a bit better
