Like all living ecosystems, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues to change and evolve. Players are still digging through Dawnguard, the first major expansion for Skyrim released earlier this summer, but Bethesda has readied a new patch to help make the game’s world a bit more habitable. The best news that Skyrim patch 1.7 includes a plethora of fixes for those lonely PlayStation 3 users so often left out of the company’s fun.

Bethesda announced on its official blog on Monday that patch 1.7. Fixes include a number of upgrades to the game’s Kinect functionality, namely better command recognition, dragon-language shout commands in French, German, Spanish, and Italian, and fixed Dawnguard shouts. The patch also fixes crash problems when dragons land.

Is The Elder Scrolls Online worth playing in 2022?

ESO players exploring High Isle.

The Elder Scrolls Online isn't the newest MMORPG on the block, but it's among the most exciting games to be playing in 2022. Not only has it grown exponentially since launching in 2014, but this year saw the arrival of High Isle -- the sixth Chapter in the ESO saga that brought players to a region previously unexplored across the entire Elder Scrolls franchise.

Despite its age and the dozens of high-profile titles launching this year, ESO is still worth playing in 2022. Whether you're looking for your next competitive fix or a relaxing way to unwind after a busy day, ESO offers a wealth of content for players of all types. It's also surprisingly respectful of your time -- something MMOs typically struggle with -- making it stand out in the crowded MMO market.
