just bought skyrim

my wife bought me a xbox slim 4g/kinect bundle for christmas last year and have been using the system just for kinect games. However today i ordered an 250gb hard drive and skyrim. i have been reading over the past months all of the problems and glitches that people have come accross in the game, so i was wondering....how well is the game running now? and is there anything i need to know or any suggestions that i should hear to avoid any glitches or problems. thoughts?

Great game! im playing it right now

Great game! im playing it right now

It's an awesome game. I'm still playing it (bought it day it came out at midnight). I think most of the glitches have been fixed. Haven't ran into any new ones.

Skyrim is an amazing game, I've been meaning to re-visit it one of these days.

Skyrim ran great day one of release, it just runs better now.

prepare to get sucked into the game that is Skyrim. its fvcking addicting man.:P

i think all the major gltches have been fixed.

know they fixed the theives guild problem.

andmany other problems.

game should be just fine to play, even has killcams for archery and magic:D

it is a great game, but fvckng addicting.

The updates for Skyrim have made a substantial difference in performance. Its runs really weill.

thank you everyone for all of your feedback. however i have one last question. should i install skyrim? or play it off the disk? any benefits of one over the other?

i cant say one way or the other as i dont pay that close attention to it, but from what i have heard the load times are a bit faster when installed.

but really, its better to install any game you plan on playing for a while. better for the game, and is better for your console

Skyrim has become an incredibly stable game and offers one of the best RPGs of this generation.

Enjoy, you're in for a real treat!

Skyrim is quite good. Easy to become addicted to all the stuff there is to do. In my experience, the game runs pretty solid on the X360. I've had a few lock-ups in the past, but those were easily softened by autosaves and constant manual saving. In my 150 hrs logged, I did'nt run into too many issues.

I keep Skyrim and most games installed solely because of the noise- so much quieter than having the drive running all the time. Loading times are a bit faster when installed, from my experience.

So long as you download the patches you're fine, I've played the heck out of it and beat just about every guild storyline + the main story and dawnguard, haven't had any major bugs at all. Even the minor ones seem taken care of lately after the last few patches. Have fun, download dawnguard! has a better story than the main quest lol.

i like skyrim now compaired to it's release

but there are still glitches and bugs(that's something that always comes with bethesdas games like fallout and elderscrolls) but you're too late for the ohgma glitch(the book that makes you god) but other than that. the game is fun and offers alot and i found dawnguard uped my experience with the game.

but with being able to get a house get married cook and make my own armor and such, it's really a great game that will just get you sucked into for a good long while.

you sure? ive heard that they werent going to fix the Ohgma Infinium exploit.

last i tried it, a bit before dawnguard, it still worked.

As far as I know, there have been a few major updates to Skyrim since the game came out. When it first released it was slightly buggy, but most of the major issues have all been cleared up by this point. You may find a random small glitch here and there but nothing that is going to take away from the overall experience of the game.NoodlesHghChief

Yeah and the new DLC's have a few major glitches. I don't think there's been an update for HeartFire yet.
