Hopefully it can fix the annoying lag problems I've had. They haven't been debilitating or game-crippling, but it does make the game slightly less fun to play having to deal w/ it every time I play.

This is the patch I've been waiting on. Supposed to fix long term play on the PS3.

My comments on the ideas

Spears- Fallout: New Vegas had spears, so why not Skyrim?
Kill cams for magic- They'd be similar to the Fallout VATS kill cam
Water arrows- That'd be kind of neat. But is water damage really necessary?
Giant mud crabs- There is one giant mud crab in the current game, I'd enjoy more.
Paralysis runes- I don't really use runes, so it'd be useless for me, but could be useful for mages.
Seasonal foliage- I thought there already was seasonal foliage. Near Riften it looks like Fall, the Southwest looks like Spring/Summer, North looks like late Fall and Winter.
Speedy water currents- I'd hate this, but it'd add to the realism. I've gotten swept off a waterfall a few times by a steady current.
Dark dungeons- I'd love this because using the light spells/staffs would come in handy.
Adoption of children- no, fuck kids.
Advanced home building- more customization would be really nice.
Epic new mounts- Epic? like controllable dragons, mammoths, bears and sabrecats? Count me in.
Fast travel portals- that'd be pointless, you can fast travel from the map already.
Kinect dragon shouts- too many idiots wouldn't know how to pronounce the words correctly.
Enhanced water visuals- I thought the water looks fine.
Ice and fire arrows- Visually? I guess that'd be neat.
Lycanthrope perk tree- Eh. You don't stay as a werewolf for long periods of time unless you wear that one ring.
Vampire imp minions- Don't know, haven't been a vampire in this game, but it was a bitch to be one in Oblivion.
Goblins- They were in Oblivion, so why not in Skyrim? It'd be nice to have a new enemy.

Here's the video for all those things.

This video is amazing because you can actually see the ideas in action.

That mud crab at the end...yikes.

Patch is live on the 360, still waiting for PS3 to make it live.

Some notes about the PS3 version

The 1.4 patch for Skyrim includes many performance-enhancing updates for the PlayStation 3. A few important things to note:


1. To ensure the fastest jump in performance after applying the patch, be sure to first create a new manual save by entering the save menu and choosing “save game.” You should then restart your PlayStation 3 before continuing to play.


2. If you encounter strange behavior while playing immediately following application of the patch, do not be alarmed – this is a temporary effect of Skyrim scripts correcting themselves after the update. Once this process runs its course, be sure to make a new save and restart your PlayStation 3.

3 more trophies until I Platinum the game.

Have 100,000 gold
Acquire all the Daedric artifacts
Find all the Standing Stones

Just finished the "return the thieves guild to it's former glory" trophy. Really hard to know what to even do to acquire it.
