I haven't played much post 1.4 yet, but I've noticed 2 things right away on the ps3. First, a lot of quest items are still stuck in your inventory after quest is completed. This wouldn't bother me too much, but with the patch I finally could finish the "Fix the White Phial" quest (thanx for that) only to find out that my briar hearts, of which I had 3 in inventory, are still listed as quest items and I can't store them or use them in potions. Don't know if it's the same with powdered mammoth tusks, as I don't have any at the moment. Any new briar hearts I get are also stuck in inventory. This is kind of a pain because they have the paralyze effect on them, which I use in potions.
The second thing I've noticed is that at random times, when going from one area to another, it doesn't load. My system just sits there with a blank screen or the load screen and nothing else happens. Before, when this happened, my whole system would freeze, but now at least I can still press the ps button and get the exit game menu. I have auto-saves turned off so loads will be faster, so auto-save isn't the problem.
Also, though this has already been mentioned, the College of Magic librarian book quests don't work if you already have the specific book needed in your inventory before you get the quest. My solution was to restart the character and just never pick up the books I find in a chest rather than on a bookshelf or table.
