today. Hope this helps. (They’re a lot of ’em)
1. Multiple ‘Fortify’ on a single spell now fortify all stats that are
in the spell. Therefore a spell that fortifies STR, INT, and WIL will
now fortify all those stats rather than changing your gender, for example.
It will NOT fix your gender if you’re already changed. (sorry)
2. Not able to complete certain quests:
We found a bug in the quest generator and fixed it. It should
correct the problem where quests that went to a city had no end point.
3. New hot keys:
Shift + C = Recast spell
Ctrl + left arrow or right arrow = Slide left or right
‘-‘ and ‘+’ = scroll inventory up or down in charsheet.
Shift + J = Standing long jump. (it actually was implemented in patch 3)
4. The travel routine was rewritten:
Those of you with bugs involving travel times should find the new routine
to work much better.
5. The problem with people losing stats when equipping / de-equiping certain
items:
We found a problem in the way the code calculated fortified stats due
to spells vs. items such as a sword of strength. It is now fixed.
6. Lost or missing keys:
We fixed the problem with keys being gone or ‘worthless’, but for the fix
to take effect, you must reload a game BEFORE you have gotten any of the
keys in question. Simply reloading the current game will NOT work.
7. Related but not the same, if you leave a dungeon after having unlocked
some doors, those doors will now stay unlocked when you return. Any keys
associated with those doors will be marked ‘worthless’.
8. Witches Festival is now fixed so that you can now ID items for free.
9. Not being charge for a room at an inn is now fixed.
Another thing that really makes The Elder Scrolls: Arena v1.04 Patch enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to The Elder Scrolls: Arena v1.04 Patch. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
