Earlier this week, Bethesda asked fans to be patient as it flushed bugs out of Skyrim and then smashed them with its giant, enchanted death hammer. I may be paraphrasing a little, but you get the point. So, just how patient will we need to be? Well, Bethesda's Pete Hines has offered an answer.

"PS3 & 360 updates have been submitted for certification. PC coming too. Current estimate is they will be live the week after T'giving," he tweeted .

So that's a bit of a wait. In the meantime, has anybody in this fine audience encountered anything particularly game-breaking?
