Looks like they announced the 1.4 patch yesterday!

Really hope it does fix the ps3 lagging issue, and it's nice to see they're correcting some of the broken quests as well.
That's good news. Even though my save files are nowhere near where the problem is, it does get laggy loading landscape in the distance more often the more leveling up I do.
Also wanted to post that I FINALLY defeated the Frost Troll before High Hrothgar--found a convenient ledge above where the troll was appearing, and he'd gotten stuck just underneath it but I had enough room to pelt him with arrow after arrow and fire roasted his ass once I'd gotten him down to near nothing HP-wise. YES!!!
I'm now at Level 9, and I'm in Dawnstar trying to attempt the Waking Nightmare quest. The three Frostbite Spiders in wait at the tower entrance are kicking my ass & the dude who I accepted the quest from. I accidentally killed my follower from Riverwood while in the Shroud Hearth Barrow, so I may need to go back to Windhelm or Whiterun to find Lydia (puke).
I can only play on the weekends thanks to work, but I'm loving how combat is getting so much easier.
