While nasty game breaking lag has been vanquished by mighty Bethesda programmers, unfortunately the v1.2 title update for Xbox 360 and PS3 has negated all damage resistance.
That means your enchanted gear and racial bonuses provide no elemental protection, with foes suffering the same. Also dragons have grown tired of forward momentum.
In a quirky development, dragons have been sighted flying backwards. Naturally the community forums are aflame (in with a pun!) over the lack of resistance bonuses now plaguing Skyrim.
You can of course refuse to update the RPG to v1.2 until Bethesda release a new patch but that means you can’t sign in to Xbox Live or PlayStation Network while you play. What does a backward flying dragon look like? See below.
