i am planning on gettin Skyrim...but the glitches scare me!

i have heard all the great things about skyrim. But many say that they expirence lag after the saved file gets large. Some say that even the patch doesnt help. I am planning on getting it for the ps3. So any opinions?

i have heard this too but i have yet to experience it. the only glitch i ever came across was the mammoth flying up in the air when he spawned and that was at the beginning of the game when i first got it after its release. my point here is most of the people who have skyrim aren't experiencing these glitches. only a small percentage of people are experiencing the serious glitches

Thanx for the reply. Also how many hours are into the game?

i don't remember. i haven't played skyrim very much lately. actually i haven't played any games very much lately. just haven't felt like it

Dont get the lame one......get the pc one :D

Don't use the term "lag" if you don't know what it means.

The glitches won't be as much of a problem now.

The "lag" (really frame rate drops) was an issue that effected some Skyrim PS3 players. It varied from player to player and wasnit universale, it seemed to be based around how long you have played and how many items you left lying around in the world (or something like that). Some people didn't have the issue, others did.

However that issue (and many others) got fixed A LONG time ago. You can play it perfectly fine now without problems. Though IMO it's always best to avoid buying Bethesda games at launch, they always have issues regardless of what platform you buy. The 360 version had it's fair share of bugs tooeven though people in SW won't admit it.

But yes it's fine on PS3 now, go ahead and buy it already lol.

I've put in approx. 20 hours after the last patch and haven't experienced any frame-rate drops or glitches since. Prior to the update it was almost unplayable.

After the recent patches, the game does run somewhat normal.

Just beware that each time you save, the memory used increases. Say the first save is 2500 mb, next time you save might be 3000 mb and it will continue to increase everytime you save. Better have a lot of memory to play this game. Its a good game, but the way this game is just pizzes me off.

Just curious, what's the total size of the patches to date?

I'm running low on space and every gig counts now.

Haven't experienced any major problems, I have around 50 hours into the game. I use 2-3 manual saved files. I turned OFF all the automatic ones in option menu.

No troubles so far. Go ahead and pick it up. ;)
