Optimizations, bug fixes and an update on the Creation Kit.
The next patch for Skyrim appears to address quite a bit, as Bethesda let everyone know by posting the change log. Included will be multiple quest and bug fixes, including gems like this: "Fixed infinite loop with bookshelves". Thanks goodness, that sounds terrifying.
Also in the notes is an assurance that "long term play optimizations for memory and performance" for the PlayStation 3 version is being addressed, which should hopefully be good news for those experiencing troublesome framerate stutters on Sony's home console.
Though no specific release date was given, Bethesda is planning to finalize the patch next week. In terms of how the patch will roll out, "Our current update plan for the PC is to first release our updates as "beta" versions through Steam. This is something you'll be able to opt into through Steam and back-out of if needed. This is an extra safety check for everyone going forward and should expedite and improve our updating process for our PC users. We'll have more info soon on how this will work."
Alongside the patch, Bethesda is continuing to work on the Creation Kit for modders, which could be ready as soon as the end of January. "We're currently working with members of Valve and our modding community to do some final testing… We think Skyrim modding is one of the game's best features, and we have the best modders of any game. It's been a lot of exciting work for us, and we can't wait to unleash it."
