Bethesda, while enjoying crazy sales figures, has had a bit of a difficult time with Skyrim since it’s release.
The game, while by no means “broken”, has been plagued with various bugs since release, and Bethesda has been struggling to get them all under control.
Patch 1.2, released over a week ago, fixed a lot of the problems but brought a host of new ones, most famously the “backwards dragon” and the totally broken magic resistances on mage classes.
Patch 1.3 hit on Thursday, and while the major issues brought with Patch 1.2 have seemingly been fixed, reports are coming in over the interwebs that the game is still far from perfect.
Some of the common complaints so far are: inability to run whilst dual-wielding spells, continued problems with books on bookshelves inside player-purchased houses, as well as a flood of complaints on the Bethesda forums about hard crashes that 1.3 has not addressed. Then of course is the consistent lag problem with the PS3, which Bethesda have continually assured everyone they are working on.

Has anyone else noticed, that pick pocket is bugged now? The more +% items or potions I use for pickpocket, the less chance I have of pickpocketing items. Say I’ve just trained with a trainer and they got 1000gp. I have say 46% to snatch it back. Add on a +50% potion to pick pocket and the % chance of success drops to something stupid like 8%. More % boost = less % chance of success.
