Another patch coming next week, plus continued support next year.
Bethesda will continue to support Skyrim with frequent updates. In a post on its blog, the company confirmed that regular updates will be coming starting early next year.
"After the holidays, we'll continue to release regular updates for the game," the post reads, "through full title updates, as well as incremental 'gameplay updates' to fix whatever issues come up along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits. We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few. Overall, you should expect updates to be hitting the PC and Steam earlier and more often, as that's a process we control. Console updates will follow, as they must be certified and processed by those manufacturers."

Bethesda also addressed the various problems encountered by some users, adding that it plans to take "greater care" with future updates.
"We all know this is a huge game, and everyone has a different experience. We'll continue to do everything we can to make the game better and better for as many people as possible every day. We've also realized that with the millions upon millions of people playing Skyrim, we need to treat our updates with greater care. If we get too aggressive trying to fix a minor issue, we run a risk of breaking something larger in a game like this. To be safe, we are prioritizing code side fixes right now over data fixes. Quest and balance issues are usually data, and those will start rolling in a large way with the January updates."
Skyrim's 1.2 update was released this week. Based on problems encountered with the patch, a new incremental update will be released next week. Bethesda says the update will fix "issues like magic resistance not calculating properly and the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon." Full release notes will be posted once the update is available. The update will come to PC first, followed by Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later in the week.
