I took a long break from skyrim since I got to borrow my brothers copy of Batman AC. Im just curious if playin with the new patch will really ruin my experience or if it's more of an annoyance. For reference I play a Nord mainly focused on close range sword combat with a bit of magic mixed in. Thank you for the help!

I've been playing the PS3 version for over 100 hours and have never experienced any major problems before or after the patch. No backwards dragons, consistently good frame-rate, and only one lock-up. It's fine, the internet makes things seem worse than they really are.

edit: literally five minutes after posting this I got my second lockup...

I'm lucky because on PC I haven't had any Patch Problems or PP's.

It seems like it is very random how affected some people are by the patch.

Some peoples games are unplayable and some are fine, personally I'll give it a try but keep a saved backed up.
