cybercylon Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I am probably going to ask for this game for x-mas. Aside from the HD install glitch on the 360, are the 360 and PS3 versions more or less equal to one another? No real controller preference here.

Video Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Pretty much the same game. I think the PS3 does slightly better on full HD on some games, but this game is big enough, that any version is going to have it's own set of bugs/problems. Either way, your going to loose weeks to months of your life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ok just had a bizarre glitch. I was in Winterhold standing around and a dragon attacked. This surprised me because I had already killed a dragon in Winterhold a short time prior. I looked over to where the skeleton should have been and it was gone! So I start fighting this new dragon. He drops to the ground pretty close to where the old dragon was and starts breathing frost, suddenly a second dragon pops in front of him and I was like. WTF!? I realized this second dragon was dead, and empty. Must have been the corpse of the first dragon I had killed, but now it had it's skin on. I killed the new dragon and absorbed him. Now when entering Winterhold there is a dragon corpse and a dragon skeleton. Kooky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a burial site and saw a human casting magic at a dragon as he was coming alive, then the human shot straight into the air and disappered, was very strange.

I went back later and the skeleton was gone but the empty corpse remained. I hit it with a fireball and the corpse shot off across the landscape at top speed and I'm assuming over a cliff. I lost sight of it it traveled so far, so I went trudging after it and I tried to find it but it was no-where to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjaukifa Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I just got this game on Saturday for steal and its amazing. I've got no idea what I'm doing, but I'm finding that I'm getting owned left and right at the moment, though its getting easier. Love the game. Has the game locked up anyones PS3? Its done it to me twice . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh great....... http://www.destructoid.com/skyrim-patch-adds-resistance-bugs-and-backwards-dragons-216893.phtml I guess I need to wait for the next patch which the previous patch broke. Patches...patches.........I thought I was done with that in 1999 when I gave up PC gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Saw there was a patch when I played last nigth, but not sure what it did. Anyone know? For PC: UPDATE 1.2 NOTES Fixed crash on startup when audio is set to sample rate other than 44100Hz Fixed issue where projectiles did not properly fade away Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player’s wedding dead Dragon corpses now clean up properly Fixed rare issue where dragons would not attack Fixed rare NPC sleeping animation bug Fixed rare issue with dead corpses being cleared up prematurely Skeleton Key will now work properly if player has no lockpicks in their inventory Fixed rare issue with renaming enchanted weapons and armor Fixed rare issue with dragons not properly giving souls after death ESC button can now be used to exit menus Fixed occasional mouse sensitivity issues General functionality fixes related to remapping buttons and controls I guess I need to wait for the next patch which the previous patch broke. That doesn't sound encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Sorry, the patch for the 360. Looking to see if anyone knows what it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 One of the things it was supposed to do was fix the issue where installing the game to the hdd resulted in low resolution textures being displayed in the game. That degraded the graphics quality significantly. I've been looking forward to that fix. Many of the other fixes should be issues that were fixed with the PC and PS3 patches as well.

Skarrj Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The backwards flying dragons will be fixed next week sad to say. With yet another patch! Id rather leave thigns like this alone, they amuse me. I remember in fallout, I had a black skeleton corpse flying around my head and following me for weeks, I named him marv.

Hyper_Eye Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's one thing if it was in the game originally. When the backwards flying dragons are added by a patch then I'm glad they intend to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Where's the easiest place to get a Eleaphent Trunk near Whiterun for that misc quest? I ran into several before I had the quest, of course, and now I can't find the damn things again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Where's the easiest place to get a Eleaphent Trunk near Whiterun for that misc quest? I ran into several before I had the quest, of course, and now I can't find the damn things again. I ran into the same issue. Some Argonian was wanting a bunch of supplies to stock his store or something and I had none of the items. I wouldn't sweat it. Just wait till you come across them and turn them in. That's what I did. If you can't wait, agro some mammoths and then head for some rocks and jump up on them. I've found these beast can't climb much and will usually just stand there and let you kill them (If you are up and and out of reach) They have no magic or long range attacks. Once killed they usually yield tusks and/or trunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thanks. At waht point do the 'misc and random dragon attacks' start? I've battled my first dragon as part of the main quest but not yet gone to see those Graybeard monks yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first attack they show up pretty regular. I've killed around 7 dragons and they usually just show up when I fast travel somewhere.

SoulBlazer Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 They do, RT, I just haven't visted them yet. I've been working on Companion and Misc quests in the area of Whiterun, raising my level (up to 9), buying my first house and stocking it, and becoming a stronger warrior. I haven't had reason to do any fast travel yet, either. BTW, not only can you get misc quests by talking to people, but you can get them from books also! I got two last night when I reading books in the castle of Whiterun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
