Can you pick things up and drag them around in skyrim, like you could in oblivion and fallout 3?

Hoooowever, it's come with a massive glitch in that all magic resistance is now null. 1.3 should be out in no time, since people are freaking out over it.
Hmm...hadn't noticed. I didn't think I was dying quicker than normal. Mobs might have been dying faster though!

Thieves guild is currently bugged on my ps3 version.. the guy won't go down to the tavern so i can speak to him and start the quests..thinking I'll finish dark brotherhood + main quest then start a new character and do a more thorough playthrough..

2 dragons flying around during one of those aurora borealis things at night looks badass

yes
that was the funniest that i have ever seen.
also, i may just get it for xbox since i dont know if i can run it on highest settings and if i dont like it i'll trade it in and get it for pc. Or i might buy both and return one within seven days (i think that's the policy.)

bugs on ps3 version are getting more and more annoying.. I now have several bugged quests (npcs won't go where they should or accept quest items) and am running out of dragon souls as every dragon I encounter ruins my framerate & flies backwards into the distance once I kill it :| .. generally need to reboot the system every few hours anyway as the framerate seems to contstantly drop

PS3 is generally well known for being totally shit though. My pc cant handle this game so ive got it for the 360 and it runs perfectly smooth and loading times are relatively short too.

I've played this on both consoles and pc. PC is the winner even on medium/low settings. It looks better, feels better, load times are fast and quest bugs can be fixed with console commands etc. I'm giving my console copy to my brother as a christmas gift and continue playing on my laptop. FUS RO DAH!

There is no debate, your own complaints confirm what the worst system is ;-)

not trying to open up this can of worms but i'm playing on ps3 (about 60 hours in) and have had no problems other than it freezing up on me once during a load screen a few weeks ago. my friend's got it for 360 and has had numerous bugs that broke quests or forced a restart. i think the point about skyrim (and other bethesda games) is that they are consistently inconsistent - bugs aren't always repeatable or limited to a specific platform, and glitches aren't necessarily related to the specs or characteristics of that platform. they just kinda run like shit if they have any room to do so, and considering the 360 and ps3 are both old as fuck in computer hardware terms, these games have a wonderful opportunity to run like shit on them.

backwards dragon thing, for example, is not limited to ps3 - think it's been seen on every platform, including pc. all platforms have their advantages and disadvantages and bethesda's games will exploit all of them at some point.

ps3 aint old as fuck, it has like 9 processors, and it shits all over the xbox a thousand times over. the only reason things lag on ps3(which ive never had) is they just convert it from xbox when they could do a million more things if it was dedicated. the military grabbed a bunch of them for research upon release or whatever for research and they can be used for super computing and folding@home.

pc is better obviously but its stupidly expensive and you have to upgrade once a year unless you drop £10k on a gpu.
