I haven't seen dragons flying backwards, but if I kill something it sometimes sets the corpse to upgright, walking in place and making the usual noises. Scared the crap outta me when I killed a bear, ran up to loot it and it stood back up and growled.

Textures are now dropping out all over the place too. Annoying, but not a huge problem.

The only things that have change for me after the update is the performance. I do get more lag spikes, but between them there is generally better performance.

I still have to verify backwards-flying dragons, but my bookcases, resistances and other things mentioned are working fine.

They're probably delaying it to build in some kind of special steam integration in an attempt to stop pirates from getting their grubby hands on it. Like requiring Steam and a constant internet connection to work on and install mods or something.

Ofcourse, someone will wind up leaking it and the cracked version will be out the day before they actually release it, and everyone will wind up using it instead.

Unless they're really devious and make it some kind of online only construction set, where all the editing tools are hosted off-site and your construction set just accesses it remotely.

January! January!?!?

God damnit Bethesda, you and I both know that that construction kit is not that much different from Oblivions. Your using the same engine you did last time, with a few tweaks and called it a new engine.

I do not want to wait another month for the god damn construction kit.

But really, even if it is integrated with Steam pirates will still be able to use it.

You can always distract yourself with the upcoming Steam holiday sales, assuming you haven't already clogged your Steam backlog over Thanksgiving weekend.  ;)

i've got a E6600 dual core running at 3ghz, 4gb ram and a Geforce 8800gt, how are my chances? :)

As said before you probably won't have problems.
I have an 8800 GTS OC that can juuuust squeak by on a modified high (I did increase a few things, the graphics junkie I am, NO CONCESSIONS FOR MY VIDEO CARD!)
The GT is a little slower, so you probably will need medium to high settings, maybe a mix in between.
Draw distance was the real killer for me on trying Ultra and then downgrading to my current settings.

Runs well, though sadly, I wish I could get the the full impact of the distant scenery. Guess I need a new video card soon.

oooooo-keey, i tried that brawler khajit.
it actualy could work and beating the crap out of Drugh Overlord is an epic show but... the thing is - fist fighting in skyrim sucks. and i dont mean the technicals - it just looks and feels lame. it eats stamina like crazy and theres no perks that lowers that cost, the hits makes the camera turn left and right, the range and the speed is a joke. in general whenever i fight i feel like being drunk.
shame. i remember in Morrowind that it actualy was kind a fun to play as a kung-fu monk heh.

also the spellsword idea crumbled... its damn tendious =\ it actualy could have worked if not for this short spell duration and hiper slow Alternation training.

Trying out 2h ork  berzerker now but i must say dual wielding 1h is much more dynamic and tricky. oh well. lets see where this wil lead me.

Heck sometimes in Daggerfall the only thing that saved you was the fact that you could punch ghosts. If you encounter a ghost before you had a magic weapon, you had to either punch it (your hands, being living, could interact with the ghost) or run the hell away.

Roll back to pre-patch?  There are several threads of instructions on the Bethesda forums about how to do that.

Eh, I'll stick with the Nexus Mod Manager.

I'm sure most people out there would rather have the CK out now, rather than wait for a somewhat unimportant feature to be released.
