Make sure to level your Blacksmithing before you patch

While PC gamers have been enjoying Skyrim's 1.5 patch for the greater part of a month now, console owners have been patiently waiting their turn. Today is that day, as 1.5 is currently available on Xbox Live, and will be made available later today on PlayStation 3.

For a full list of bug fixes and feature additions check out Bethesda's blog post, but here are the main details of the patch:

New cinematic kill cameras for projectile weapons and spells
New kill moves and animations for melee weapons
Smithing skill increases now factor in the created item’s value
Improved visual transition when going underwater
Improved distance LOD transition for snowy landscapes

Bethesda mentions that the average Skyrim player has invested only 85 hours in the game, reminding us all that we've been slacking off and should go finish those awesome Daedric Prince quests. Seriously though, how long has Lydia been locked inside Breezehome since you last played? Did you leave enough cabbages in your locker for her to eat?

Expect to hear more on what could likely be Skyrim's first DLC in the coming weeks and months. Kind of an ambiguous timeframe, but at least they aren't rushing out that horse armor like last time.

Oh SWEET!!! A fix to fix the "fix" that was supposed to fix the previous "fix" of the game I received nearly 6 months ago! And just think, if I would have had a game that worked from the get-go I would have more than 200 hrs invested into it by now.

I sure can't wait for the new DLC that will need a fix, and then a fix after the "fix". :/

bethesda: Ah! we heard a complaint about our soon to be released DLC, scrap the idea let's go home.
lol don't jynx it, because maybe the DLC will only need one patch (cough hack wheeze) although for how long we've been waiting I hope when it's or if it's announce it will be great.

huh? what they do to ps3 users that any game does when it has a pc release next to it?
lol. I mean bethesda started on pc I'm pretty sure so I would think they cater to the pc gamers more but I didn't see much wrong with the ps3 version that get me raging.
sometimes I think devs get it a little too harsh without reason (sometimes) if a game dev company cured cancer then every gamer would still flame them for not curing persistant acne.

sometimes there's never a win lol

of course the graphics wouldn't be as great compared to pc in any standards (unless you put all requirements as low as possible) (360 I wouldn't know)
Also the only real complaint is the fps drops which do suck, so go be a troll somewhere else and get something more to complain about.
I personally can make more then 2 complaints about a game to dislike it, (got a few more then you for skyrim) but if you only have two problems then why you shitting on it yourself?
EDIT: and your analogy is off since you can play this game, even with low fps.

I think Skyrim is, despite all bugs and glitches, one of the coolest 1 person RPGs I have ever played. I am seriously anxious to see what the DLC will bring: just more battles and new armours or more in-game story. If they ever go ahead and deep it more into the Dwemer (and Snow elf) history and even make us "travel through time" using the E.S. everyone shall fully enjoy it. Or if they would enable travelling to other provinces?
