Where the thieves at?
well this explains why I was getting my ass kicked all of a sudden by mages. Fix this shit bethesda.
Well that really sucks. Is there any way to delete the patch? Wondered why mages suddenly were the only one's giving me any real grief. Leaves me wondering what it actually did fix since I still get the texture loading issues with the game installed post patch. Honestly, vanilla Skyrim off the DVD was better.

I'm 80 sneak and it's pretty random for what can spot me. I'm playing on Master though so sneak power is definitely reduced.
Like I can dance in front of Frostbite spiders and totally teabag them and they won't see me, but random bandits will. So weird. Always gotta stay behind certain enemies. Mammoths spot me easily when I'm in front of them trying to go for 30x sneak stabs.

Briarhearts can spot me at 100 sneak, muffled and invisible. Its bullshit.

You should be able to locate the patch under Game Data (PS3) but most games mark their savegames. So if you delete the patch, the game will complain (even without internet connection) that your savegame has the wrong version.
360 version here but damn. That seriously sucks. Looks like I'm stuck with it for now.

Have you tried sneaking around a mammoth? Their sneak detection radius is wild. If they're facing you and you're anywhere visible, they'll see you.
Only briarheart I've snuck up on had his backed turned to me.
Enchant weapons with banish and sell to the river wood merchant after investing = $$$
My Riverwood trader is dead lol (I think). I believe some have mentioned he often dies of old age. In any case, the value of items is not the problem. I have some enchanted weapons and armor that sell for £4k+. They're worth a lot more.
Problem is finding merchants with enough money. I can literally only sell them one potion at a time (my Fortify Health and Magic Damage regen potions are worth around a thousand or more to sell each).
EDIT: Turns out the Riverwood Trader isn't dead. It's the trader in Whiterun that died for me. Hopefully after I unlock the relevant perks in Speech (I'm almost there) I can start off loading my most expensive gear!
Really????? This is unbelieveable... How can a company this size and with this revenue have this kind of problems?
If they were programming business software they would have gone bankrupt years ago because all of the lawsuits...
So in theory, I can join both team Edward and Jacob now?
Now that my Skyrim honeymoon is over...these types of things really get under my skin now. =/

yes, but there are now additional, non-texture related problems.
The patch does more harm than fixing.
People, if you can avoid the patch, the better. At least textures are a non-issue gameplaywise. But resistance problems really break the game...
And it looks like there are also a lot of problems with dragons, now:

What is the advantage of investing in a store?
I thought I could go and collect some earning after a week or something

Basically, they have more money to trade with and an expanded inventory.
You increase that store's gold permanently so you can sell more stuff thus in the end make more money.
edit: beaten
I know health absorb works because I have it on my sword. But yea, magic resistance seems caput. Can't confirm for sure, but I do seem to be taking more damage from mages.

Lol, looks like I'm not downloading that patch. Dammit Bethesda, come on.
I'll be able to test it when the patch goes live on PC. I'm not real keen on taking most gamers' accounts of these kinds of things at face value. Not because I think they are intentionally being dishonest, but usually because they misunderstand what the root of the problem is. Will be quite unfortunate if resistances are globally broken, though.
As for absorption, I was only referring to the Conjuration bug. Summon spells are checked against the player's spell absorption as if they were harmful, so you'll absorb your own summon attempts. Was more of a joke though, I don't think they would have broken resistances in their attempt to fix that.
I wish I hadn't. They should at least offer an option to go back to the patch before or something (360 here). This is a joke.
Doesn't deleting the cache do that? But you'd be without the day 1 patch too..
Another feature of the 1.2 patch is artistic flying dragons...

You can just clear your cache, and the patch will be gone. This means that 1.1. will be gone too, though.

on 360 here. i just downloaded the patch, installed, but yet to play with the patch. will my pre-patch saves work okay if i delete the patch or are they now 'tainted' so to speak?
Seriously Beth.. wow. So sad. I was wondering why frost mages and dragons completely owned me all of a sudden.
I wonder if the patch had anything to do with the broken cave (Shadowgreen Cave) I just played through. It had a hole through a wall that I could walk through and out into "editor land", basically flat texture in a big square around the cave that I could walk around on.
I'm getting pretty fatigued with this game for a bunch of other reasons as well, such as too many quests, too many pointless quests, too many filler quests sending you back and forth across the map for no reason etc. so I may take a break for a while and see if they can 'fix' the game again..

Don't think that's 1.2 related, I've had weird dragon animation issues before, it even happened with
the first Alduin fight on the throat of the world. He was in the sky animating as if he was on the ground and going backwards..
I laughed.
I just realised that the icon on Skyrim and Morrowind's main menu/box art is the same lol...probably obvious.
I actually thought it was the Dragonborn symbol, I guess it's something else? It's not on Oblivion's art.
Isn't that the Imperial Legion symbol? The general of the legion has it on his chest.
It's the symbol of Akatosh, the dragon god and big hoss of the nine divines.
Patch breaks the game? Right...
So no patching and no installing still for me. Annoying.
Fix'd.

Oh of course it is! It's the map icon of the legion camps too, and their banners...feel dumb now :x
edit:
oh..makes even more sense!
Its one of the coolest pieces of art ever IMO...I want that shit on the hood of my car.

Everyone was moaning about how easy dragons were anyway, you should embrace the new challenge this patch brings.

I've been sent to Riften to speak to Esbern about the dragons, but I have to speak to Bryjolf to find out where he is. For him to tell me, it seems I have to complete his quest, which I really don't want to do.
Is there any way I can advance this questline without having to do this? Can I find Esbern without doing Brynjolf's quest?
He wants me to steal a ring and plant it on Brand-Shei, so he's sent to jail and run out of business, but I'm trying to avoid going down the "bad-guy" route, and Brand-Shei has given me a quest I'd rather do.

The entire fate of the world hinges on you doing some petty thievery, which has no real consequences in this game. Save the world man, do his petty quest.
Am i? I'm merely sceptical. Can a mortal ascend to godhood? I really wonder about that. And i have my doubts. There are two stories of Arkay, i'm inclined to belive the one where Arkay was not a mortal who was offered godhood but the one where Arkay was some sort of spirit early on.
I do wonder who the old man at Ghost Gate was when i was going to confront Dagoth Ur. It was implied he was Talos but there's no proof. Maybe he was from Psijic Order or something else.
