Another week, another Skyrim patch... to fix what the last patch broke. But what goes wrong this time...
Just when you thought we could go a week without complaining about Skyrim, along comes a new patch just released by Bethesda recently. Designed to fix the issues with patch 1.2, patch 1.3, so far as word on the intertubes suggests, works pretty well.
Well, almost...
You see, it does get rid of the backwards flying dragons, and it fixes up the rather game-changing lack of resistances, so bully to Bethesda for that. However, word has it that 1.3 also breaks something else.
It probably doesn't affect anyone but the most dedicated players, but if we were playing on PC, we'd be part of the whinging minority. You see, despite promising a fix to player bookshelves, it seems they're not only still broken for many players, but possibly even worse.
It's small, we admit, but try explaining that to someone who has spent hours alphabetising their collection, or spending weeks in game tracking down rare tomes. Imagine the pain when your bookshelves become not mighty altars to your growing OCD, but bottomless pits of despair that suck all your hard work into some bizarre dungeon dimension!
Not that we're like that at all... but hey, at least the dragons, they fly on time.
