after 1.3 my game on PS3 is much much better so far, i have had 1 freeze after i clicked on save it froze but i waited it out thinking it was just going slow because it was a game file i had restored from my flashdrive back onto the HDD and then played and this was the 1st time i was going to save over it. and i was right, it took like 5 minutes but it unfroze, i saved, and continued on no problems. today i ALMOST had a freeze, upon loading up after fast traveling to Dragons Reach to talk to the Jarl about something important, it stuttered, almost froze, then loaded up and no problems. so i say thank you guys, if you get this or not, hopefully you will feel a little more positive vibes coming your way. not that i wasnt sending them before or anything, but you get it. love the game, it has eaten my life. i call it skyrim, the world eater (like alduin) cheers!
