Does anyone know when the major patch for Skyrim will be released? Or if it's even been announced or in development. All help appreciated.

I believe when 1.3 was released, they made mention of something for the PC next week.

The major patch will be releasing soon. It will fix all those minor grievances like docile dragons and animation bugs, and will also break mechanics like magic resistance and fortify enchantments.

Going through Sony's and MS's Q&A process some sources say before x-mas others say after

The approval process is suppose to be 72 hours I thought. Not 3 weeks.

1.3 for the consoles: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1310129-13-out-on-xbox/page__st__20__p__19713046#entry19713046

For future fixes, pinned at the top of every board: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1300562-skyrim-what-were-working-on/

Depends what you mean by major patch. Next one should be next week. The bugs broken by next patch probably won't be until January. Quest etc probably a month after game is 'stable'. Rinse and repeat with that... Then if you get DLC... :brokencomputer:
