HarpingOn

So my save file has reached save of death proportions on Skyrim.

Constant hard lockups, requiring an unsafe hard power off. Which makes the
PS3 do a corruption check, potentially taking 3 hours each time.

So much screen lag, you can hardly move.

Please, don't buy Skyrim for PS3. I thought the other Beth games were bad,
but this is just horribly broken, and I fear for the rest of the contents of
my console if I keep having to hard poweroff like this all the time.

:sadface:

Did you try the month-long vacation? I had read somewhere (here, I think)
that you had to use the wait command and sit around for 30 days of in-game
time. That would cause all the default enemies to respawn and all the
corpses and clutter to clean themselves up. That's supposed to make the
save file manageable again.

I'm actually ready to start a new character, on the reasoning that my
paladin-like Nord just isn't nasty enough for all the Daedric quests and
the thieves guild missions.

Why not upgrade to the Xbox 360?

It doesn't work. Because the cell cleanup only happens when you visit a cell.
So whilst after 30 days, the cell will be eligible for cleanup, it doesn't
happen until you actually visit it. Which is every indoor area you've ever
been to. Not very practical.

Plus, it doesn't clean out everything anyway. The game is just broken.

It's not immersive /at all/ to have dead bodies just hanging around forever.
If I kill a shopper in front of a meat trader in Riften market, I don't
expect that body to still be there even one day later.

Likewise, if you knock stuff off tables in shops or houses, the owners would
tidy up. Not just leave the place looking like the wreck of the hesperus.

Critters I killed around and about the start of the game, many game months
ago, are still there. Stupid.

I will remind you when the next Bethbug game is released so you can avoid
purchasing it.

I call that lazy programming.

Thankfully, all I get is the occasional crash to desktop or texture issue
with the PC version.

I wasn't sure which way my char was going to go, but now that she's
killed someone for a Daedric staff it'll be the nasty route.
I don't actually use the staff as I'm a mace wielding warrior but the
quest had 2 options so I chose the murder one...
And I'll be siding with the Stormcloaks when I eventually get round to
it...currently tracking down Windcaller's horn

Since running the 4GB hack from skyrim.nexus the game hasn't had any
crashes to desktop.
Texture issues and creatures appearing in mid-air I can live with...
