Anyone doing the same or are you playing 1.02 with the frost fire resist bugs and dragons flying backwards

Same here. I've my saves from 1.01 backed up, and as I fear 1.02 would corrupt them, by now I've stopped progressing.

I also want to create a new char, to go though the DB and Thieves Guild...

People are really paranoid about this huh? Been playing glitch/bug free until I was encountering framerate drops today. Bummer.

ive tried but both of the major next things i have on my "to do" have me taking a ton of elemental damage so ive just stopped playing atm

i did finish the companions stuff and tidied up a few lose bounty quests and such like but my first random (elder) dragon in ages put a stop to any exploring as it ate up almost my full stock of health pots because my resistances didn't work :verymad:

lol all this complaining i havent noticed any different except dragon suddenly do critical bitting on me, can have full health and then they take a bite on me and im dead. Otherwise than that so have my dragons lerned to fly stright and working properly.

I have noticed some of these. I encountered a dragon flying backwards and ended up just walking away. The frost, fire resist problem is a bit annoying, but I can deal. My biggest problem is the framerate drops. It gets so bad to the point where I can't even play it. I have to save and re-load, and sometimes that doesn't even help.

I have several quests that I can't complete, weapon racks that don't work, and saw my first crazy dragon today (complete with huge framerate drop) but despite all this I literally can't stop playing - this game is just too good to put down. So I've just steeled myself to take the good with the bad, it will get better and it's not exactly unplayable using 1.2 - just not as good as it should be.

The biggest problem for me is the resistances not working, but I'll just tough it out until it's remedied.

Im confused If i was playing xbox would it just come up as the update game thing?

Playing fine on 1.2. Haven't seen any backwards dragons. have seen the resistance bugs, but it doesn't change my experience of the game (seems that at this particular stage the buffs, or lack of, are balanced out between me and the monsters). I still use frost against flame atronachs etc. for role playing reasons.

im not one for complaining in general but its a bit crap when one of your major defensive stats simply doesn't work.

i guess it depends what lvl you are and on what difficulty and class/build etc but im rapidly approaching 50 and while i can "wtfpwn" a dragon on the ground atm an elemental damage attack from the air (ie a dragon) can pretty much almost one shot me.

this is doubly annoying because i did invest in the counter and have full resist sets for both fire and frost (which i carry always because im in light armor)

there's no way i can go do the two dragon priests i have lined up or continue on the bit of the main quest i am on atm (and yes i know what im facing in advance)

the other things dont bother me nearly as much in fact i find the backwards dragon (which i haven't seen) kinda funny and was really hoping it would shoot fire out its ass.

i can live with bugs like that, the bookcases, the weapon racks and even poor performance and broken quests (which i can fix myself usually being on PC) but the resistance bug = a broken game atm as far as i'm concerned.

Dont have any problems either , game is fine so far with 1.2 , i m lvl 49 at 80+ hours gameplay.....

I faced Krosis, Vokun, Otar, and Volsung without knowing of the resistance issues. It was doable but very difficult. I would save and have to try multiple times. I found it quite good to use werewolf form and just smack them 100 times. Hope that helps some.

I've stopped playing for about two weeks now, seeing as everytime i do play, most of the quests end up breaking or glitching up, kind of pissing me off...the rest of the bugs i can live...but not that. been playing TES since daggerfall and its never been this broken before...(on the pc let alone the poor ps3 brothers of skyrim)

I was waiting, then decided what the hell, lets play anyways. I ended up beating the main quest without resist potion and it wasnt that tough. I beat a Dragon Priest and two Dragons at once with a two-handed warrior, and only had to drink 3 health potions. And no I don't play on easy mode.

I could see it be tough as nails on master though.

I'm playing 1.2 with a mod that fixes the magic resistance.

I play on the 0-day, first patch. PROBLEM?!

yes and you can say no but it boots you offline. this is what i have done the game is mainly fine at 1.1 for me.

Right here, is the reason I bought this for PC.

I wish it told you your magic resist, fire resist, shock, poison, disease etc on the pause menu. Would be useful.

My old character was getting killed by one-two spells from anything (on master) due to the resist bug, and ancient/elder dragons kill me instantly with no resistances. So I started a new character with a stealth role, so magic wouldn't be hitting me. Encountered a few new little bugs like scrolling down menu's is laggy, sometimes the menu freezes at a certain item. Never happened before, on xbox 360 btw. Not gamebreaking though.

I don't have any resistances anyway, dragons do fly backwards and don't seem to be attacking me but i learned yesterday that i can still kill them so i don't care, it's actually pretty refreshing to be without fighting dragons every 5 minutes.

You are overreacting

playing Fallout 3 until game is fixed.

I was fortunate enough to have read all the complaints about 1.2 (on the X360) before updating, so I'm still playing 1.1 till 1.3 comes out, IF it comes out?

I really think people are having a knee jerk reaction to what they read, and not what problems they are actually having. I'm on the PS3, with about 45 hours in and a 7MB save file. I have had NO frame rate problems. Only had one freeze, and that was before 1.02. If the magic resistance bug is in place, I haven't noticed it. There's a lot of nerd rage built on what people are reading, not what they are experiencing.

I'm not saying some people haven't had issues, I am sure they have. But its not EVERYONE. I also wonder if how much data you have saved on your PS3 hard drive has anything to do with it. I have very little data saved on mine, as it was mostly a Netflix and BluRay player while I spent the past few years addicted to WoW. Skyrim is the first game I've played heavily on it. So maybe that has something to do with why I have no issues, maybe not.

My game patched to 1.02 before I learnt about the issues, so I set steam to offline and rolled back to 1.01.

*sigh* is it too hard for some people to understand that there's also people playing the game without any major problems?
