Quest and balance issues are usually data, and those will start rolling in a large way with the January updates. To be safe, we are prioritizing code side fixes right now over data fixes. If we get too aggressive trying to fix a minor issue, we run a risk of breaking something larger in a game like this. We’ve also realized that with the millions upon millions of people playing Skyrim, we need to treat our updates with greater care. We’ll continue to do everything we can to make the game better and better for as many people as possible every day. We all know this is a huge game, and everyone has a different experience. Console updates will follow, as they must be certified and processed by those manufacturers.

Overall, you should expect updates to be hitting the PC and Steam earlier and more often, as that’s a process we control. We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few. It's worth reading:Īfter the holidays, we’ll continue to release regular updates for the game – through full title updates, as well as incremental “gameplay updates” to fix whatever issues come up along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits. The company also released a statement on their blog regarding future updates and continued support for Skyrim. Bethesda will also be releasing a wiki and various videos to help users get started on bringing their ideas to life. Users will be able to rate, flag for download, and browse various mods through Steam using mobile devices, so when they get home and fire up Skyrim, mods will automatically download. In January, Bethesda will be releasing the same development tools to users to let them create their own mods and share them online via Steam Workshop.

The update will be fixing the issues caused from 1.2, so Breton mages will no longer be hanging in the wind. Rest assured, Bethesda is aware of the problem and has announced that an incremental update would be released by next week for PC, with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates following the week after (probably due to authentication). Most notably, rendering magic resistances and immunity useless and having the occasional backwards flying dragon, among other things. A few days ago, Bethesda released the 1.2 update for Skyrim, which fixed a few things, but inadvertently caused a slew of new errors.
