Skyrim DLC in the Works

Xbox owners will be pleased to hear that they will get their hands on the Skyrim DLC 30 days before PS3 and PC users will have access to it.  The developers are brainstorming ideas for the DLC based on what players are doing in the game.  They don’t want to add additional content; they want to improve the experience.

Skyrim 1.3 Patch Due Next Week

Bethesda is responding to numerous complaints that remain in Skyrim after the release of their 1.2 patch last week.  The oddest and certainly funniest glitch, is the backwards flying dragons, and PS3 users are still reporting framerate and lag issues, but this patch does not address this issue.  The patch is to fix the backwards dragons, and a glitch in magic resistance calculations.  The patch will be released over all platforms by the end of the week.

Why I Refuse to Review Skyrim

I’m 60 hours in. I’ve slain dragons, raided bandit hideouts, and mourned the loss of my valiant steed, Mortimer. My home in Whiterun is decorated with tokens of my travels: swords, shields, and amulets, each with their own story to tell. I’ve stalked the town proper as a beast of the night, and I’ve saved the great college of Winterhold from the machinations of an evil Thalmor. The tops of the highest peaks and the plains of the deepest valleys have tasted my steel, as the great conjurer Mixlemuggins sees no end to the adventures he would behold.

Questlines completed? One.

Welcome to my experiences in Bethesda’s latest creation, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Yes, a creation – to call the result of this work simply a game would not do it justice. Across every stretch of land, every broken archway, there is lore awaiting the weary traveler. To be fair, I am a big fan of Bethesda; their approach to the open-world RPG is, in my opinion, leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. This is their strength, and is exemplified in no short order in the world of Skyrim.
