So I shelved Skyrim for a good 2 months, due to how obviously horrid it is. Just got a brand new hard drive, and now I've run into another, worse problem. I try to load my save (copied from old HDD) and instead of letting me play, it stays on the loading screen (Without showing the usual stuff...just the logo) and then the smoke freezes, and my PS3 requires a hard restart.
Anyone know what the hell the problem is?

I hate you bethesda.
