1.4 should go up on Xbox LIVE early tomorrow. PS3 update is looking good for tomorrow, too. If we get an update from Sony, we’ll update.
Update 2/9: 1.4 update is now live on Xbox LIVE. PS3 update is looking good for today as well. If we get an update from Sony, we’ll let you know.
Today we’ve taken Skyrim’s 1.4 update out of beta and made it available for everyone on Steam. In addition to bug and quest fixes, 1.4 adds launcher support for the Skyrim Workshop.

I shouldn't have played so much on PC then bought it for 360 :(.... I don't feel like going through all the beginner quest LMAO.
Damn, I really got to get back into this again. AC Revelations, NCAA 12, Tiger Woods 12, Skyrim. I just don't have enough time in the day. :D
Going to start character #3. While some of the fixes are automatic, many of the fixes are only if you start a new game. I still have ton of glitched things in my inventory and quests completed that are not removed. Still can't be a thane or buy a hose in Riften because a NPC died.
I hate putting 123 hours in a character only to start over again. :(
Here's a game I need to get back into, but with being in OD's, golf CC's, and FIFA....I haven't had much time for other games. But there is some news for 360 folks straight from Bethesda.
Kinect Support Coming to Skyrim http://bit.ly/HO3GbK
Yeah, OD's BF3 and family stop all my side gaming. I got Gears of War 3, Fifa, Skyrim, and Dead Island all just sitting around.
I wish my backlog was like yours. :DQuote:

The first trailer for the upcoming "Dawnguard" DLC went live this morning, care of Bethesda's Twitter account, which noted, "E3 arrives early!" Bethesda puts a 1600 MS Point ($20) price on the content, but still hasn't given a release date beyond "this summer." [Joystiq]
Damn. $20? It better be Shivering Isles big.
I'll wait until Steam's Christmas sale and get it for $10 or less... did that with Fallout: New Vegas and saved some coin.
Meh. It doesn't change the fact that, once again, they can't write a story worth playing the game for to save their lives.
I bet I can go back several pages where you said you liked the story. :DQuote:

Damn, $20 is a bit high. I'll probably get it anyway, but I agree with mors, the story in the main campaign was pretty dull.
Shivering Isles was $20 when it came out 5 years ago too.Quote:

I guarantee you you can't because I never have. I barely even played Skyrim (50 or 60 hours) because the story and the combat was just boring as hell.Quote:

Right. all of that was within the first 30 or 40 hours before I actually did the rest of the main quest and found out how incredibly *** it all was.Quote:

They fucked up a LOT of things with Skyrim.
Can't believe I had put this game down for six months. Mainly was waiting out the patches (now they're currently at v. 1.05) then just kinda got wrapped up in other games. Played a ton of this after DJ'ing on Saturday night. Just like riding a bike. Had to make sure to save often. There were some hairy situations I got myself into in a dungeon and also against the Forlorn.
Currently using an Elven Mace in one hand and the fire spell that shoots out a constant flame in the other hand.
:smh:
Apparently the big draw from Dawnguard (being a vampire and all that stupid shit) is terrible. Like everything else, Bethesda can't write a story worth shit.
:smh:
So I put this away for five months as I was waiting for the patches to drop to make sure my saves weren't f'd. So now that I have finally got back into it, I'm sucked back in. I think I put in about 15 hours over the weekend, all just on a few Thieves Guild quests :D
Skyrim 1.7 patch headed to PS3 'in the coming weeks,' but Dawnguard is nowhere in sight
Quote:
Don't fret, PlayStation 3 Skyrimmers, Bethesda says the game's 1.7 patch is heading to Sony's console "in the coming weeks." Bethesda acknowledged as much in a tweet yesterday afternoon. The game's 1.7 patch on PS3 includes the various updates from 1.6 (mounted combat, new kill cams, etc.), but it falls short of adding the Dawnguard DLC, which is still exclusive to Xbox 360.
That DLC was issued a 30-day exclusivity period earlier this year – a period which expires today, reports Kotaku – but Bethesda's VP of marketing Pete Hines stated on Twitter, "We have not announced Dawnguard for any other platform, nor given a timeline for any such news. If we have news, I promise I'd tell you." He followed that up by saying, "I was simply stating that expecting/demanding something today is unfounded. Not that news is never coming." It sounds like Dawnguard may yet head to other platforms (eventually).
We've reached out to Bethesda for further comment and will let you know if we hear back.
:D PS3 owners getting the middle finger from Bethesda.
Basically. But I'll get it for 360 eventually just like I did with Oblivion. I'm holding out for a huge blowout sale on the Collector's Edition.Quote:

Based on our complete opposite ends of interest in Oblivion and Skyrim, I'll probably love Dawnguard :D no matter the case, who the hell knows when it will be out for PS3.Quote:

74 metascore isn't really terrible.

Skyrim's 'Hearthfire' expansion tends the home September 4
Skyrim's "Hearthfire" expansion became official this morning – an add-on allowing adventurers who took one too many arrows to the knee to become domestics (Dovamestic?). Hearthfire enables players to build their own home, create additions to said home, and help raise children. Those rooms can be profession-specific – for instance, a room dedicated to herbalism. The joys of domestic life!
"From a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more," Bethesda said of the DLC. "Choose your land, customize your house, guard it from unwanted visitors, and turn your house into a home by adopting children." Apparently, in the fantasy world of Skyrim, houses aren't homes without children.
Hearthfire will be available September 4 on Xbox 360 for 400 Microsoft Points ($5), no other platforms are mentioned at this time. Skyrim's previous DLC, Dawnguard, took around a month to make its way to PC, but the PS3 version experienced some hiccups.

:whoa:
J.B., have they patched the missed trophies yet? I am stuck at 97% because I missed one of the Daedra quests. I really don't want to start over to get that.
I wasn't aware of that issue. Which trophy is it specifically?Quote:

Yes because I don't have the patience to deal with all the bullshit to continue to play Skyrim. It's a very polished shitty game. The leveling system sucks. The Perk System is TERRIBLE. The story sucks. The dialog is only slightly better than Oblivion (which was TERRIBLE).Quote:
