Bethesda has announced that patch 1.7 for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be coming tomorrow, bringing with it some not particularly huge changes.

Chief among the fixes for patch 1.7 is improved Kinect voice recognition and commands, while bug fixes rub shoulders with memory and stability optimisations.

Patch 1.7 will be coming to Skyrim on August 9th for Xbox 360. That's tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Skyrim is about the ONLY game that is actually better with Kinect.

I wonder how much Microsoft are paying Bethesda to spend all this time on kinect. I don't think anyone really cares about this feature.

FIX the BROKEN QUESTS that i've been unable to complete for 8 months!

Now if I only had a PC that could run it, all would be well at Peters house...
Well, maybe not all, but hey a nice rig is always a start, right?

Would like some horse-mounted magic combat and shouting abilities.

I have at least 2 broken main quests and 10 broken miscellaneous quests... It seriously irritates the shit outta me. But that's really the only thing negative I can say about Skyrim, love the rest! And I won't be using kinect to play this game... Way to gimmick for me, rather press RB.

I don't know if it's just me, but my Skyrim was crashing a helluva lot during my Dawnguard runs. Great game, but crashed an annoying amount. Fallout 3 and Oblivion were fine, New Vegas was awful. I've lost my autosave 5 or 6 times int he last week due to crashing during saving. but that's another story.

@ 12 - I think I must have been really lucky as I met it while doing something else at Level 64 or 65. Hope you find it soon.

one of the best games, with that being said...
I hate the loading, load for three minutes(ish) to go into a house then realize its the wrong house so load to get back out.. then load to fast travel then enter a place (load) fight some draugers grab fetch item, load to get out load to fast travel then load to get into companions house then load to get into the basement 2 more loads to get back outside

great game but loading screens are like half ur time playing
it'd be even shorter of a game without it

Possible spoilers - Does anyone else still have the 'Investigate Boethiah Cultist' even with the quest complete? And I still have Gallus' Journal even though I've completed the relevant quest?

Times like this I wish I didn't want everything to be empty and clean, and I didn't need to lug around quests items for quests I've already done. PLEASE BE A SOLUTION :'(

How about fixing the damn Daedric item achievement that glitched on me? Started the game over JUST to get that achievement, and it won't unlock

I know people won't like this but patches are not meant to fix your game saves. They never have been designed to do that. Patches fix and address a number of problems which will be fixed when you start a new game. Sure new problems pop up but the old ones are fixed. Sometimes the problem in your game save will be fixed but a lot of the things can only be fixed when you start a new game save.

For anyone looking for a Legendary Dragon. I am not sure if this is a guarantee, but I went SW of Froki's Shack and found one around LV 65. Again, I am not sure if this is a guarantee, as I have only done it will 1 character, but it could be worth a try.

Actually, just found out that it is called Arcwind Point, and I have read that it is guaranteed to have a Legendary Dragon there.

Maybe they'll make it stop shouting every time my girlfriend walks in the room and says something. It's incredibly obnoxious and she hasn't figured out yet that she can't talk to me while I'm playing Skyrim.

I love how they keep patching Kinect shit and they leave other glitches that actually make problems, i.e. quest glitches. Come on Bethesda.

Can they add a patch that will allow me to delete certain miscellaneous quests. i.e the ones that have been completed but won't go away, like, I've already found Red Eagle's Bane, but no-one is listening.

@30 there is a soft level cap after 50.

ie. Your first fifty levels are alot quicker than the ones after than.
50-51 will take alot longer than 49-50

Friend of mine is stuck in "Dead Man's Respite" - the Ruby Claw door doesn't open when you enter the correct combination. Despite patch notes stating this was fixed back in patch 1.4 its still bugged for him.

The tragic part is that you can't back-track out of the dungeon and he over-wrote all of his saves after going down the hole so he's totally stuck. He refuses to restart the game due to how many hours he's already put in. I asked him why he didn't keep a save before jumping down the hole and his response was "I didn't expect the game to bug so badly that I get stuck inside a dungeon".

He has a point, however I'd already learnt this lesson from playing Oblivion and Fallout 3 so always keep a good amount of regular saves in any Bethesda game incase of bugs (including always keeping a save outside of a dungeon)

I really hope they put out another patch soon. I can't get the companion quest line achievement due to the bug at the end of the Blood's Honor quest line. So much for certifaction processes eh Microsoft?
