So... When does the next patch come out?

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 12:20 am

Although the latest patch (1.4, right?) fixes the significant amount of glitches and bugs, I have to wonder when the next patch comes out to deal with my on-going problem.

I hate to complain. Because I love Bethesda and I really enjoy playing Skyrim. But seriously, this is quite troubling I can't simply ignore.

I am stuck with a quest with The Companions (They told me to kill the escaped criminal aronud Farka...th? No matter how many times I click the damn quest log, it won't show the place marker. After enormous hours and efforts I found him and killed him but never completes the quest...) and certain Jarl quests. (Oh deary lord, I want to be a Thane in... I forgot the name of the region...). One werewolf imprisoned in a local prison (I don't even remember where) asks me to hunt for him, later the guards say he escaped (really? I didn't even know that), and one Daedric God (or whatever) asks me to kill that werewolf, but he is still in the prison, doing nothing. I killed him with my magic, but nothing happens... Some lady asks me to fetch a book I already have, but the quest log insists to go to the cave I already cleared long ago, So, I go there but there is no book (of course I already took it and it's in my pocket already!) and I'm stuck with that quest like that et cetera et cetera...


(I'm not even going to anything else with minor glitches... Just like the last one I experienced... Ulfric gives speech to his soldiers after the battle in Solitude, and when he asks some questions to the widow Jarl of Solitude, he is way too far away from her and stares completely awkward direction, et cetera et cetera.)


I know, I know. I should have paid more attention and saved more often, so if I notice any problem in my quest I can quickly re-load the previous save, but damn, I've already come too far and when I notice somethin bit off it's too late. I can't go back and play like 5 hours over again. This whole situation is really discouraging to play the game.



So, whenever someone asks me to do something in the world of Skyrim--where I am supposed to be the mighty Dragonborn-- I immediately panic with terror and compulsively press ESC to save it. Seriously, the short drum beat right after accepting quest is even terrifying.



I'm begging you, Bethesda, I know you're really excited about Creation Kit. And by the way, good job! But can you please please please forget about Creation Kit and High Resolution pack and Steam something something for a while, and tell me at least you're working on the next patch fixing hell lot of bugs and glitches? And if you're kind enough, approximate releasing date?

I play the PC version of the game and since the 1.4 patch I've not been able to do the "Waking Nightmares daedric quest due to the fact that it's messed up.

When you go with the priest and enter the place he is no where to be found. When you look at the map he is way off somewhere else because which you can't get to because he's not opened the portal he needs to open.

Now after several reloads when you are finaly able to get past the first portal with him and you go down the steps to where that barrier is where you fight the first two Orc invaders and the priest talks about the barrier and mention the library. When you are going back up the steps to the library he wwill go about 1/2 up the steps and won't go any further. Reloading of the game doesn't do any good and even sartinbg from an earlier save before I went to Dawnstar to do this quest ends up with the same results.

I'm pretty sure there's some console commands that you can use to fix that quest on the PC , I use 360 so sadly I can't help much more but I'm sure if you search you would find a solution.
