I have a problem that only happens on certain saved games.  Sometimes
when I try to save the game, the game crashes, and sometimes it saves
without crashing, but then I cannot load that saved game.  It seems
to stem from some corruption of a particular game since my roomate
and I maintain seperate save game slots and while I cannot save, he can.
(Although he had this problem with his first character, he suffers no
more)  It seems to be related to Mage guild quests as in both of our
cases the problem started when we saved the game after receiving a mage
guild quest.  I patched the game with 179 from the copy I purchased
this week, does anyone else have this problem?  Bugs like getting
stuck in walls and falling through floors I can handle, but having
to restart now 3 times due to inability to save the damn game is
making me very very pissed.

Did Bethesda actually test this game at all???
