Evening all. First things first, all problems listed below are found on my 2007ish Xbox360 Premium (the one before they decided to make Premium better), Microsoft repair x1. None of them were experienced on playthroughs before I got the recent DLCs from Live (DLC does not include SI or KotN).
1. I started a game on Oblivion, with Shivering Isles and KotN downloaded by disc. I installed all the DLC for poops and giggles. Total waste of money, bar three, but whatever. What's done is done. I play the game. I complete all DLC things. I start on Daedric Shrine quests. I complete Molag Bal's. I am level 33 with about 33 hours put into the game. Then the autosave and Save don't load. smurf smurf!
2. I get over it. I start a new game. I complete Deepscorn Hollow, Frostcrag Spire, the Orrery and Mehrunes' Razor. The other DLC things are available but not complete. I start on Daedric Shrines. I get to Molag Bal, but do not start. I am level 32 with roughly 30 hours put into the game. Then the autosave, Save and backup Save all do not load. smurf smurf smurf!
3. My initial save (after the "tutorial" but before you start the game) and my old save file (my first and complete game) are fine. Loady loady happy happy.
But, that's still 5 times the smurf. Kinda funny really, seeing as how I'm Quin, though I doubt they're related. ;)
Anyway, the point of this is: what are be going on? I've already got a completed game with Shivering Isles and KotN, so it's not them. I'm therefore fairly certain it's the DLC. But I load up the DLC at about hour 10, so why doesn't the game die then? Is it just coincidence that they both buggered at almost the same time in almost the same place? Also, why would it bugger all three saves, when they are all quite a way apart? Why aren't my initial save and older game equally buggered?
I'm tempted to contact Bethesda and see if this is a widespread problem, or maybe just to act all angry and boohoo to see if I can get free stuff or something. :)
But yeah. Anybody know anything? Anybody experience this problem? Anybody got any tips on what I could do?
