The latest patch for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim seemed to break more than it fixed. Some of the biggest complaints come from players across all platforms experiencing corrupt save games, backwards flying dragons, being unable to leave Whiterun, and resistances to magic not working for any person or creature. Lovely.
The latest entry in the Bethesda Blog says that another patch is coming next week to address some of these issues. PC gamers will get the update first and then PS3 and Xbox 360 owners later. In addition, the game will tie in heavily with the Steam Workshop for mod support!
I've been afraid to fire up Skyrim ever since the horror stories started to come out after the last patch. However, the integration with Steam Workshop for built-in mod support sounds absolutely amazing.

Steam Workshop – We’re excited to share news that we’ve been working closely with Valve to integrate Steam Workshop into the Creation Kit. Using the Workshop, you’ll have free user content with the push of a button. The Creation Kit will bundle your mod and upload it to the Workshop, where everyone can browse, rate, and flag mods for download. You’ll be able to do this from any web device, including your smartphone. Like a live Netflix queue, when you fire up Skyrim, mods you flagged will be automatically downloaded and installed. Everyone here is really excited about the opportunities and possibilities this opens up for our entire community.
Prefer to use existing modding sites? Not a problem. You’ll still be able to upload/share/access Skyrim mods on fan-created mod sites.
Continued Game Updates – This week we released update 1.2 across all platforms, and we’ll be releasing an incremental update next week. We anticipate it will be up on PC first, and then hit PS3 and Xbox 360 later in the week. Among other things, the update will fix issues like magic resistance not calculating properly and the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon. Once the update is released, we’ll share the full release notes.
