I can't play .. i freeze every 30 to 40 steps now and the quest im doing for the imperial legion cant be finished .. like it says report back to so and so .. and he just keeps telling me to be on my guard.. pissing me off because i only need like 3 more trophies for platinum.

Reading the bethesda elder scrolls forum, it sounds like some of the broken quest can't be fixed without the person either going to an earlier save file before the quest was started or complete restart since even if they fix what triggered the break in the quest, it will still be saved on your save file after the break.

^^Did you play Oblivion? I learned quickly not to do that. I've got around a 100 saves I think.

Yea i did .. Im hard pressed for memory on my ps3 though ( have a lot of games on the harddrive ) and each save is 10mb so 100 would give me a gig of just save files and i only have about 350 mb left atm so i just stuck it out with 1 .. gah im pissed.

Hopefully the quest you are stuck on is one that can be fixed regardless of you already starting the quest. Where I got that info wasn't coming from Bethesda themselves so they could be wrong. But their reasoning made sense. Here are some quotes from the thread.

These forums are awash with threads of broken quests.

Yes they say they will start patching these from January 2012 onwards but...

Does everyone realise that if you have a broken quest in your savefile then I would say by far the majority of broken quests will NOT GET FIXED in YOUR SAVEFILE even after the patches come from January onwards.

Your save holds data, data about quests and through a series of events you have a broken quest.

When they release a patch the patch will NOT look through your save file and correct the broken quest.

What the patches will do is stop the sequence of events that you originally did so that the quest never becomes broken.

This will be true of 90%+ broken quests in your save games.

I work as a Q&A tester on another PS3 game that is very similar to Skyrim and can tell you no developer releases a patch that changes data within your save file, all they change is how the bug appears in the first place.

THUS even once the patches come out for fixing broken quests more than likely you wll need to start a new game to complete the quest OR revert to a savefile before the quest was activated.

People need to keep posting the bugs in broken quests but asking for a fix in your savefile? Ain't gonna happen.

Wish there was just one thread for all broken quests rather than the cluttered "My Quest Is Broken Thread And I Want It Fixed Yesterday!"...

The saved broken quests cannot be fixed in your save file, they can be refreshed. Let me explain:

When they say they've fixed a quest in a patch, it means they're repairing the problem that breaks it in the first place, not necessarily that it'll have anything to do with your progress on that quest.

Since a quest may glitch and then you may save that glitch to your save file, this means that you've broken it and the patch won't fix it. The only thing that could allow the quest to fix would be resetting the quest altogether and the fix in the quest would then prevent the earlier error from happening. The liklihood of this happening in a patch from Bethesda is minimal because it would ruin a lot of other player's experience, players who had no problem. It could also cause corruption in different ways.

So the OP was completely right. They can't fix the problem once it's saved, they can only fix the problem so the quest won't glitch again

.

I actually have a answer for that: Yes. In Oblivion (SO LONG AGO LOL) I was doing the quest for Clavicus Vile, and the quest would not finish after Obtaining Umbra. I could not give the Sword to the Daedra. Bethesda realized a lot of people were having issues with this and patched it, and I was able to finish the quest. Now I have NO programming experience and claim to not be a tech junkie what so ever but I can tell you I was able to finish it, as for those games being Linear....I would not Call Two Worlds 2 linear, shorter maybe, smaller definitely, but not Linear.

This was my experience, now just like the last few Bethesda games made, the world is ever flowing and evolving, no 2 games are alike and I'm positive some one will call me a liar but that was my experience.

Yes, this sort of problem can be fixed then. But this represents only one type of quest breakage.

This is good though, it helps us to know what kind of break can be fixed for sure.

Also, I don't remember where Bethesda said it but they said fixing broken quests wouldn't be a priority until after the holidays. All patches before hand would be performance issues.

It's not a priority because millions are enjoying the game without problems, such as myself. I have over 100 hours and the only problem I came accross was not being able to be than or own a house in Makarth. Everything else works perfectly fine.

I fixed this problem by loading one of the hundred game saves the game constantley gives you. The problem is a lot of mainstream gamers want to play this game but don't know how (such as having only ONE save and reqriting it each time).

You have to respect a game this large with this much content in order to truly enjoy it. You have to save constantly and might have to reload it more than once. This is not a normal game, this is a 'master piece' and have more to it than really any other game right now. Same for GTA, KOTOR, Oblivion, Morrowind, Two Worlds etc. Too many poeple want a RPG game like Mass Effect, stictly linear and no cohesion between really anything in the game. This is not that game, it's so much more.

Learn how to play cutting edge console RPGs and you will be heavily rewarded with a great gaming experience. If you don't want to take the time to learn in then you will have to wait 6 months for everything to be fixed but even then the game WILL still have bugs, it will always have bugs it's the way these games are.

I myself have had no problems besides freezing twice now. I enjoy the game and understand there will be problems.

Not everyone has been so lucky though. There are people who know how to play rpg games that can't play this game anymore due to extreme lag and quest broken.

Search youtube for skyrim ps3 lag and you'll see crap people are going through.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
