TES 5: Skyrim - Patch 1.3 details

Well, the newer patch - v1.3 - allows the game engine to render higher res textures on Xbox. Not sure what other fixes are in v1.3

On a side note, Illia is a far better companion than Lydia/Sven/Faendal - Illia is extremely tough, I've take on some tough enemies, such as Deathlords with Illia and she has not got incapped yet. Only problem is, she is somewhat careless when casting her Frost attacks, often hitting you, the player, if you are engaging enemies in front (her Frost attacks will deal friendy fire damage)

General stability improvements

Optimize performance for Core 2 Duo CPUs (PC)

Backwards flying Dragons? :rofl: I HAVE to see that.

Since 1.3, the graphics are much more high res on Xbox, however, there is some instability issues now when using the Ice Form Dragon Shout - combined with the graphical update, it lags the game to a stuttering crawl when Ice Form is used. Haven't experienced it with other Dragon Shouts.... yet. Also, the lighting is alot better since 1.2 and the little things like Argonian scales no longer shine blue as much as they did before.

Thing is, I see no mention of 1.3 enabling higher res graphics on Xbox, but it most definitely has.

Another thing is, the Ghostblade doesn't seem to want to fit on my weapon rack inside my house in Whiterun, it simply bounces off the weapon rack, whereas all other weapons fit fine. Also, upon exiting the maze area of the Labyrinthian, followers do not follow you out - even after waiting several in game days. They will, however, return after fast traveling to a new location.

Dude how have you not heard about that before :lol: it's been all over the web, they broke it with something they fixed/changed in the 1.2 patch

it is rare to see in game as it only seems to happen in certain circumstances but it's funny as anything to watch when it does

Behold the the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon of Skyrim
