As you may know if you’ve tried to play Skyrim in the last few days, Bethesda released a patch for its RPG that supposedly fixed the framerate issues in the PlayStation 3 version and the texture problems in the Xbox 360 version.

Well, the bad news is that the patch may have borked the game even more. Reports of dragons flying backwards and players using all their magic resistance have been circulating, requiring a new patch to fix those issues.

This week we released update 1.2 across all platforms, and we’ll be releasing an incremental update next week.

We anticipate it will be up on PC first, and then hit PS3 and Xbox 360 later in the week.

Among other things, the update will fix issues like magic resistance not calculating properly and the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon.

This message was posted on Bethesda’s blog, where they also confirmed that they will be updating the game until the community is happy with the game.

After the holidays, we’ll continue to release regular updates for the game — through full title updates, as well as incremental “gameplay updates” to fix whatever issues come up along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits. We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few. Overall, you should expect updates to be hitting the PC and Steam earlier and more often, as that’s a process we control. Console updates will follow, as they must be certified and processed by those manufacturers.

We all know this is a huge game, and everyone has a different experience. We’ll continue to do everything we can to make the game better and better for as many people as possible every day. We’ve also realized that with the millions upon millions of people playing Skyrim, we need to treat our updates with greater care. If we get too aggressive trying to fix a minor issue, we run a risk of breaking something larger in a game like this. To be safe, we are prioritizing code side fixes right now over data fixes. Quest and balance issues are usually data, and those will start rolling in a large way with the January updates.

Despite its bugs, we actually really like Skyrim. our own Dave Irwin reviewed it, giving it an A+. High praise indeed.
