So, with patch 1.9, I can understand why they've finally patched the Oghma glitch and Ungrien speech exploit. But why the Lucan money bug? That is really beneficial and it gets tedious selling loot off as you progress in the game. It sucks either waiting 48 hours per transaction or hitting/killing the merchant, then reload a dozen times after only going through one or two dungeons. Completing 'No Stone Unturned' makes it worse. What Beth could've at least done is make the merchant system like Oblivion's, where merchants have a fixed amount of gold that won't decrease or increase as you buy or sell items.
Also, Beth did NOT fix the ash pile issue. After waiting 30+ in game days far away from a Mara's Eye Pond, the ash piles of the Smuggler and Skeleton remain. So already dead bodies still remain always. Finally, something that has been plaguing me from day one is the whole Cicero/DB Initiate bumping into you and getting in your face constantly thing. Does it hurt to stay three feet away from me like a housecarl?
By the end of today, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners will likely have access to Skyrim's 1.9 title update.Bethesda has confirmed the update, which went live on PC last month, has begun rolling. Skyrim 1.9 PS3 Xbox 360 Update Now Available For Download Bethesda has released the 1.9 Skyrim update for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Firearms and Hunting For The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs Answers question titled 'Xbox Patch via pc?'
Or any other follower for that matter? (besides Barbas!). I mean, if they can add more guards and fix a whole bunch of beneficial bugs/glitches, then why not this one? Just curious. You would think the Restoration Potion Glitchâ„¢ would be fixed instead. Talk about game breaking.
Sure it requires a little effort to do, but then so did the Oghma glitch. Now I can one-shot kill for 1290 points of damage with an iron dagger(legendary) and have a complete outfit giving me the best possible prices, a magicka fortification and regeneration so high the bar doesn't move when I cast master level spells, gloves of Smithing that let me craft other weapons and armor just as awesome as my iron dagger(legendary), the Ultimate Ring of Alchemy, and shoes that let me carry the world.sigh. But I can't one stop shop at Lucan's anymore. Because, as we all know, gold is and should be scarce and hard to get. I'm so glad they have their priorities straight. I'm off to go punch a dragon in the face with my Pugilist Gloves of God Slaying. What Beth could've at least done is make the merchant system like Oblivion's, where merchants have a fixed amount of gold that won't decrease or increase as you buy or sell items.
Finally, something that has been plaguing me from day one is the whole Cicero/DB Initiate bumping into you and getting in your face constantly thing.

I mean, if they can add more guards and fix a whole bunch of beneficial bugs/glitches, then why not this one? Firstly, I agree with you on the fixed amount of gold for merchants. I am a mad alchemist and make potions all the time, probably dozens for each alchemy shop I go to, if they have enough ingredients to buy.
Therefore, I have tons of potions to sell that some of which can sell for two hundred gold or more, and merchants never have enough money for me to just sell them all at once. I haven't yet invested in stores, but that really wouldn't help, considering I ALWAYS have some cool loot on me to sell from dungeoning. Wish there was a set amount of gold so I wouldn't have to run around and bankrupt every merchant there is. Also, I agree with you on the Cicero topic! I have him as my follower, and if I stop, he'll plow right into me and push me up against doors, walls, etc, even enemies, if I'm trying to sneak attack. Once he even pushed me off a drop point. Thanks, Cicero.
A lot of followers have issues, like standing in doorways and getting in your way, but Cicero just rams right into you and pushes you around. Kind of obnoxious. Still, I take him along because he generally does not get in the way of my walking or my attacks, and his singing tends to be amusing.

Thanks, Cicero. A lot of followers have issues, like standing in doorways and getting in your way, but Cicero just rams right into you and pushes you around. Kind of obnoxious.
Still, I take him along because he generally does not get in the way of my walking or my attacks, and his singing tends to be amusing. As much as I would love to dump all my potions on one vendor, I like the fact that merchants are not bottomless pits of gold. Yeah, it's an inconvenience to have to travel to multiple merchants or wait a couple days or whatever it is that people do to unload their stuff and collect all that shiny, clinky gold.
But it's more realistic. There are degrees of realism that I'm comfortable with and this is one of them. Besides, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA SPEND IT ALL ON? Regarding followers and their annoying tendency to push and otherwise interfere with what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm with you. Barbas is why I hate all Skyrim dogs. I tend to waffle between having a follower so I can grab more loot or going solo so my plans go the way I planned them to.
I was gonna give Cicero a shot but now I'm not sure I want him. He amuses me in a nails-on-chalkboard kinda way.
There was a thread awhile back on him and I commented that whoever did his character should get an award. I have a love/hate relationship with him. The only option seems to be to shortsell of to buy enough to make up the difference with stuff you actually do need (soul gems, ingredients, etc.). I've taken to buying out the ingredients and then selling my old created potions just so I can get the alchemy points. It's not a win/win situation, but, hey, at least I can unload some potions. Too bad that I create just as many, but then again, after creating crappy potions for so long, at least now I make a lot of smithing, invisibility, 2 handed-1 handed-armor-archery enhancement potions that I actually can use!

Fences can still have up to 5000 gold. Up to 4000 if you don't have master trader (depending on how many special jpbs you have done for delvin.
You need to do the lot for 4000/5000). The new patch makes it really worth finishing the thieves guild asap just to get access to the fences. As for the problem with visiting multiple traders. Well the main problem with ps3 is the glacial loading times quite honestly when going in and out of all of those shops.
My 1 stop trading hub is now windhelm as the market has a fence a blacksmith I can invest in plus another general goods stall to sell to all in 1 place that I can fast travel to with no additional loading screens. Fences can still have up to 5000 gold.

I dont much like the 1.9 patch that took away the gold from the riverwood trader either.
I am one of those players who likes to dump the unwanted merchandise quickly and move on instead of having to travel to numerous merchants across skyrim and sit through the loading screens. I have over 9 miillion gold septims after playing on and off for about a year or so on my xbox 360 my khajiit has gold septim fever and cant turn down anything that earns a septim. I dont play skyrim as much anymore as my work schedule keeps me busy most of the time. Also, I agree with you on the Cicero topic!

It's bad enough some NPCs are 'essential.' I would rather screw up a questline because I killed someone and have to start over than deal with unkillable people.
But I understand why Bethesda did it this way. It's been ages since I played Oblivion but I still don't see anything wrong with merchants not having infinite amounts of gold. Considering how few things there are to spend it on, it's just as well that I can't milk them more than I already do.
It's nice being wealthy but fairly meaningless if there's nothing much to buy. I've considered starting a character with severe restrictions on what they can loot just so gold will be worth getting. I don't have any experience with the Dawnguard dogs because I haven't progressed that far with it but I have a feeling they won't be much better.
