Their really isn't any point in playing the game until the 1.4 patch is released. Simply put, it takes all the fun out of the game when you continue to run into game ruining bugs and are reduced to watching the game play-out like a power point document.
I'm currently playing Uncharted 2. I shelved Skyrim until this mess gets fixed, if it ever does. I'm just focusing on ps3 exclusives. Putting Skyrim in my ps3 does it a great disservice.
I've been playing skyrim off and on ... but when I'm not playing skyrim ... I play dark souls ... soooo much fun ... at least to me ... i'd say go with dark souls
