It has been a long bit since I have played. But the itch is back.....

How is the PS3 version with all of the updates that have been released? Is there still an issue with the save file getting large and causing issues?

I am looking forward to sinking some serious time into this, but want to make sure that all is well

Thanks!

To stop your save becoming large you must pick up all weapons and shields off dead NPCs.

It works pretty damn well for me. Maybe because I play janitor.

Disable all autosaves and learn to save every 5-10 minutes. I personally save before every loading screen to prevent bugs.

Here is something I posted in a PM to a friend. Use it.




For some odd reason, I get irritated when I see these PS3 topics. Oh well.

Remember to clean up.

WTF?

Only equipment from killed NPCs or everything?

I do both.

Your post seems like a bit of a contradiction to me. How is picking up every single weapon from fallen enemies "works pretty damn well" ? I'd argue that's, "works pretty poorly ", considering if you don't clean up, your save game becomes corrupted.

Glad I'm on 360, you PS3 guys have gotten a pretty raw deal with skyrim.

It's unfortunate. But if that's the way my savefile can be kept to 10MB for 300 hours, I'll take it.

And yeah, its been a little difficult on the PS3, but I'm glad their PS3 team pulled through and gave us DLC. Even if it was 8 months late.

Ps3 works fine for me. It seems that the complainers voices are much louder than probably the majority who are happy.
My first character who is level 82 has a save file that is 18mb and it is still ok - a little laggy sometimes, but I have done nearly every thing on that in all DLCs. I'm not an obsessive janitor - I certainly wasn't when I started playing. I pickup the enemy dropped weapons and shields mostly and I don't drop things around the place - I store the excess on dead enemies. I have auto save set so that it only happens ever hour and on none of the other triggers.
My newer characters have no issues.
