I have started a new character only level 3 Dark Elf but whenever i touch water or try to wade through water the PS3 freezes.
This happens in a cave or outside in the open at the first town you come across.
After freezing 5 times in one hour and having to reset the PS3 , I have given up on Skyrim.
Call me stupid for having purchased Skyrim and hoping for a good RPG.....

End Rant...
