Been playing for a little while now,level 38 and something like 15 dragons killed,its truly a massive game and I must admit I love it!

Although I am starting to suffer some lag[PS3],does anyone know what the cure to this is?

Not a great start - PS3 - first time playing it tonight and it crashed the PS3 on the opening cut scene just as they got into the village on the cart.

Then I rebooted and when the cut scene finished, just after configuring the character it froze again. Was just about to reboot, again, and it burst back into life.

Not been bad since then but chapter loads and reloads after, errrm, cough, dying are very long.

Other than that, playing nicely - massive game just starting to get a feel for it. On a huge Level 2 after an hour into the game.

Think I'm going to hang on a bit before getting this. Got excellent reviews on PC and Xbox, but not as good on PS3 due to bugs and crashes. I will definitely get it at some point though as loved Morrowind and Oblivion.

Problems with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is same like other Bethesda games(Fallout on Xbox or PS3,which has have similar problems)
Most people which suffer with lag are owners of slim PS3 and some owners of Xbox Slim or older models

never had issues with fallout either except a known bug with a trigger failing to happen (not specific to my pc), check your drivers or go hunting for any reported compatability issues. that causes 99% of crashes.

I've tried like on mine i7-920,before i've run with AMD X4,with same GPU(HD5870),before i've tried with GTX260 and happens usually on same place and same mission..

Tried all possible patches and still happens,but in different scenes.But still enjoying Fallout,great game

You have to make it yourself. I hope you've been collecting the bones and scales....

Get forging, that and enchanting are the two best skills to max out if you like fighting lots.
