A post on the Bethesda blog, titled ‘Skyrim — what we’re working on’ indicates there will be an incremental patch released next week.
The patch will hit the PC first, with PS3 and Xbox 360 ‘later in the week’ and will fix what Bethesda are calling the ‘the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon’, a description that makes the bug sound like an endangered species David Attenborough should be documenting.
The patch will also fix the magic resistance bug which the previous patch managed to insert.
Bethesda say they will be prioritizing code side fixes over problems with quests as these are usually problems with data rather than code. Data problems will start being fixed ‘in a large way with the January updates.’

I’ve got 2 problems with the quests at the moment. I can’t find Mirabelle to start the ‘Revealing the Unseen’ quest. It seems to be a common problem, something to do with a dragon landing in Winterhold college.
The second is Byrnjolf doesn’t appear in the Ragged Flagon to start the Thieves Guild quests. Pretty annoying so I hope they manage to fix this. However, there’s so much more to be getting on with it’s not a big issue for me personally at this point.
Be good to see the patch coming, they can’t eliminate all the problems straight away.

Skyrim is simply AMAZING! Every game has glitches, every generation has games that have glitches. Every game has isolated problems like currupt game saves. How many times did someone’s entire PS1 or PS2 memory card become un-readable? Glitches happen, but games like Skyrim are rare gems that are barely ever seen. This game gives you the impression that even when you’re not playing it the story and characters are still living in Skyrim- growing crops, mining ore, and fighting dragons while saying things like “I wish that dragonborn was here helping us.” No other game gives you a world were anything feels possible and nothing is predictable, and that’s partly because of glitches. In most games glitches ruin the experience, but in Bethesda’s RPGs they help create the world and give it a flavor of actual life. I would argue that Skyrim is the least glitchy RPG game Bethesda has ever made.

By the time I get to play this there’ll be one hell of a bug fixing patch for me to download.
