moment yesterday in game. I came to a mill where a very angry lady told me about her husband leaving to trade with people and never coming back. She assumed he was shacked up with some hot dark elf chick over on the Morrowind border and told me I could look for him if I were so inclined. The kid said some encouraging things about his dad. I go, find out he's been killed by bandits, properly kill the hell out of all of them, and then go back. She feels terrible and sorry and guilty and thanks me for bringing closure to her life. The kid pipes up happily, "I knew my dad didn't run away!" What a good samaritan I am! It's about dawn outside, so I leave the cabin to go on my way. She goes out too to begin her day of working at the mill. Two dragons are right there to ambush me at the same time. She starts to say something and gets vaporized by a simultaneous blast of frost and fire breath. The invulnerable kid runs away.

Yeah, that happens. Go hire the woman who you get through a fist fight. She's awesome. It's like dating in Scotland.
Does this mean your wife became Mrs. Ironwood because she can take you in a brawl?

Somewhat interesting that IGN is ruffling feathers; they're usually not willing to piss a major developer off. They never received a PS3 advance copy. Why they reviewed a PS3 version so quickly is somewhat silly. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1214016p1.html

Block, back up, fire off a spell, shout, etc. If those 2Hers are getting you down, formulate a new plan.
Me, I lead them in to wards, or use illusion spells to make them fight each other.

The blocking perk that slows time on the power attack is awesome for that. See the world slow down, walk out of the swing way. Or just counter.

Got my first pair of backwards flying, stuttering dragons. Very odd, I was hoping it was just a console issue, but I'm on pc.

The patch made dragons come in pairs? I never patched mine but that sounds awesome. I always felt one dragon is always manageable. Two would be quite fun to tackle.

I've found pairs of dragons when I've fast traveled to a place near the bounty dragon peak, and walked in, seems to spawn the target one and a random. This is just the first time I've had any dragon flying backward, and it happened to be 2 of them. I do wish I could disenchant dragonrend and slap that enchant on a 2hander for use against pairs though. The whole broken resist thing makes dragon breath ouchy when it's stacked.
Another peeve: faction armor kinda sucks, I mean you get 4 different armor sets through the thieves' guild quest line, and they are all disappointing.

I dunno, I used the Nightengale Armor (minus the hood) for quite a while until I had my enchanting capped out and could double enchant some crafted stuff.

Yes, circle-strafing, that's what I want out of my RPGs. Forward and back is all you need to dodge attacks. Which is completely ignoring the plethora of options which also fall under not getting hit. Quest or word location dragons seem to be the ones which break most frequently. The worst part is that their flight is so ridiculously fucking erratic afterwards that's they're damn near impossible to kill unless they get hung up on a tree.

125 hours, and I haven't even begun on the main quest, I don't think. Just travelling back and forth and sniping and robbing bitches like a boss assassin-thief.

Right. Because moving out of the way of someone trying to hit you is immersion breaking.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

That part is absolute shit, no doubt. The fact that Bethesda held the copy for review really leads the fact that they knew of the crippling issues on PS3. I'm interested to see if anything shakes out, because pretty much every gaming news outlet is calling them out on this. The problem seems to stem from all the little bits of items that a character interacts with and collects. Each of those add to the save file. Not a great fix, but couldn't they put a cap in place on the number of same items collected? I know that sounds crappy, but it is a whole bit better than having the machine slow to a crawl.

Not a great fix, but couldn't they put a cap in place on the number of same items collected? I know that sounds crappy, but it is a whole bit better than having the machine slow to a crawl. It seems painfully obvious that the game shipped with fairly significant memory leaks as well as save game bloat, seeing as how the game destabilizes and the shader/texture loader shits the bed after extended play sessions but immediately gets better if you save, exit, and then re-launch the game. A hard cap on items of similar type is likely to have unintended consequences. A better solution is to flag them in such a way as their data is culled from the save early (I.E. test if the player is in the same cell while saving, if he isn't, remove the items from the save), and then attach a script that disables the flag should the player happen to pick the item up.
