Just found Blackreach. All I can say is: wow. I think I know how DF caverns look like now.

The best thing about are the buildings there, are built by Dwarves!
Sure they are elf-dwarves (DweMER) but still.. Dwarves!!

lol, so they broke book cases, made dragons fly backwards, and accidentally disabled resistances/weaknesses?

You'd think in an environment where patches are forced on users (Steam), the developers would take the time to actually test the patch before they distribute it. Buggy releases like this is one of the main reasons I'm reluctant to use Steam.

And with the mention of the box version, I'm pretty sure they all use steam too (if there was a box version without steam I'd have bought it, the steam force feeding is what kept me from purchasing). Unless you're using some kind of cracked version, you're using Steam - and you're using the new patch.

It is kind of funny that people who legitimately purchased the game are stuck with a buggy new update, while people who illegally downloaded the game are given the choice to stick with their less buggy version. Yay for once again giving software pirates a better customer experience?

Library -> Right Click -> Properties -> Updates Tab, "Do not automatically update this game" option.

Simple enough, really. But this is a fairly big bug. Seems as if armor doesn't work either (not just elemental resistances; though Absorb effects still stop magic damage). Makes the game more interesting when you're not so high and mighty that things can just blow you up... and vice versa.

thank you God for making me buy the game from store then ^^
yay boxed games!

Doesn't the boxed version just install the steam client+version? My friend's did.

not in my country :3

I've seen so many reports saying that feature doesn't work that I've pretty much dismissed it as a non-feature. If it actually works for you though, great.

You sure you didn't buy a cracked version that someone burned to disk for resale? As far as I know every legit version of Skyrim requires Steam.

That doesn't work, though. It updates anyways. (There are a bunch of people complaining about it on Bethesda's forums)

Nice job breaking it, Bethesda. You've broken Skyrim for everyone except the pirates. *facepalm*

(I bought the boxed version from GameStop, it required Steam, and 1.2 installed itself automagically. I didn't have auto-update disabled because I've never had to do that with any of my other steam games (except V:TM:B, but that's because I had the unofficial patch installed, and nobody's updating the base game anyways).)

mmm maybe that's why pirates are winning:
no obligation to buggy updates.
and obviously, disc not necessary and free to grab.
i'm the only one who recalls those old games who didn't have bugs, just glitches?
and they weren't even the programmers fault, but the players?

I remember old games with lots of bugs. Master of Magic, for instance, crashed all the time and whenever you got late in the game, and had a number of buggy spells, and spells which were guaranteed to crash the game.

The only way I ever won was by blitzing in the beginning of the game, otherwise it got crash-happy and impossible to play. Well, there was one time I won by starting on Myrror, blocking it off with white magic, colonizing the entire plane, and then sending my armies over to the other side and attacking everyone roughly simultaneously with superpowered armies...

Yeah... for a long time if you tried to cast lycanthropy to make yourself some werewolf troops it would crash the game immediately.

well Elder Scroll Daggerfall not by accident called Buggerfall. old game but still one of the buggest in the entire history of computer games.

We used to call it daggerfail. Amazing game for the time but incredibly buggy.

This seems to be reverse though, I'm pretty sure the patch added more bugs than it fixed.
It's why I'm glad I can just delete the patch and play without it.

Bethesda is going to have to patch their patch. And then they're going to have to patch their patch to patch the game.
