I've come across the bodies of Walter, Nathan, Jericho, Billy Creel,
and one or two others I think. Are they all accident-prone? If so,
maybe the programmers should think about regenerating uniques.
I recall reading about a PC bug that caused folks in Megaton to walk (or be >pushed) off the walkways due to their startup positions. This was fixed in >the PC patch.
I don't know about X-box, though, but it sounds like it might be a similar >problem :-/ Is there an X-box patch available? Not knowing much about X-box, >I don't even know if you can patch X-box games.
Sheesh. This was a problem in the Xbox version of Morrowind too, where you couldn't find certain NPCs because they'd be standing under walls or underground after so many subtle shifts of position.
The Xbox 360 does receive software patches automatically for games that
are Live-enabled. You get prompted to install an update, and a few files
are written to the hard drive that override corresponding disk content.
After a restart, the app validates the CRC of the files and then uses them instead of the what's on the DVD. It's not a bad system. I don't know if a
360 patch has been issued yet or not, as there's no mandate to notify
users when it happens.
-KKC, who's suddenly inspired to see if Morrowind will run on his Asus Eee.
