I think they waited to release the two patches to save money. The reason PC and X-Box got it is because it doesn't cost money to release on the pc and it had Dawnguard components in it for the X-Box. So they combined patch 1.6 and 1.7 to release two patches for the price of one. Admittedly I wasn't to happy about It when I first found out but I'll live with it. That is why I think they waited on the Playstation.


This is my first post.

1.7 is pre Dawnguard.

I CONJECTURE that they could not release patch 1.6, because it was too buggy. So, instead, they rolled it into patch 1.7 - and removed some of the promised fixes. Yes, money is part of the issue - in addition, this way, some casual skyrim gamer will be lured into buying dawnguard.

I, will not buy dawnguard. Because support on the PS3 will be horrible. Bethesda got my money once - but they will not get anymore of it. I'll make sure to buy the next TES game from gamestop. Or the seedy underbelly of the intertubes.

Is 1.7 pre-Dawnguard?

No matter what the reasoning is, if it was to save money why not say so from the start, saving money makes senses, I always try to save as much as I can, but you don't have to keep your customers in the dark, there's no purpose in that

I agree that keeping us in the dark wasn't cool and I'm not going to defend Bethesda's screw up by p****** off the PS3 community, but they may think that no news is good news.

Yeah, though I do hope this patch comes soon, I need this one area to respawn do I can do a quest, stupid me didn't save before so I gotta redo blood on ice :/

1.6 had stability issues on the Xbox and PC so you can only imagine the problems that cause for the Ps3. Thus they had to fix those problems first so it might as well be rolled into 1.7.
