Here comes the long list of fixes
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim may have been last year's Game of the Year in many places (including here at TA), but that by no means implies that it was perfect out of the gate.
Thankfully, we live in a day and age where games can continue to be updated even though they've already been released into the retail space. Bethesda is quite familiar with this method of fixing issues having already released a patch or two for Skyrim in the past.
Alongside a host of fixes, which are detailed below, patch 1.5 brings kill cameras for projectile weapons and spells, new animations for melee weapons, and tweaks to the smithing system. There's even a video touching on what you can expect when the patch goes live.

NEW FEATURES

New kill moves and animations for melee weapons

I'm digging it, I played Skyrim in it's entirety on the PS3 (including getting all of the trophies/achievements) but I enjoyed it so much that I would consider doing it all over again on the Xbox... not to mention I'm sure some quality DLC is coming down the pipeline sooner or later.
Won't spend the full $60 on it, but when the price goes down all these patches just sweeten the deal. |

| I hope this patch fixes the thieves guild achievement. I don't want to make a new game just to do that stuff over again. |

Detr0itz Pr1nce said:I hope this patch fixes the thieves guild achievement. I don't want to make a new game just to do that stuff over again.What Thieves Guild achievement would that be? Maybe I'm thinking of the PS3 but the only messed up achievement was the "One With The Shadows" where if you sold off your guild armor you'd hang up the game making it impossible to finish the questline.
That may have been fixed in 1.4 since they placed guild armor around the Cistern area for those who lost/sold theirs. |

In “Waking Nightmare” fixed occasional issue where Erandur would stop pathing properly.
It's about time. |
Is it really an achievement if it's easy or everyone has it? |

| Already finished this, so the patches won't help much. Looking forward to any DLC, though... |

| Wow, this game is going to end up being on par with Dead Island and Fallout New Vegas as the games with the largest bug-fixes list. |

| Though I like Skyrim, it still baffles me that it won GOTY. I can't see how it is any different than Fallout 3, just set in a different universe. Batman and Uncharted 3 were better in my opinion -- Portal 2 as well, I think. |
